1Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Yeshua Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead), 2and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia: 3Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Yeshua Messiah, 4who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: 5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 6I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Messiah for a different gospel; 7which is not another gospel: only there are some who trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Messiah. 8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than what we preached to you, let him be anathema. 9As we have said before, so I now say again, If any man preaches to you any gospel other than what you received, let him be anathema. 10For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Messiah. 11For I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. 12For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua Messiah. 13For you have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it: 14and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace, 16to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood: 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus. 18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19But I saw none of the other apostles, except James the Lord’s brother. 20Now concerning the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie. 21Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22And I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Messiah: 23but they only heard it said, He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once ravaged; 24and they glorified God in me.
