Galatians 1
Big screen- 1Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
- 2And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
- 3Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
- 5To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
- 6I marvel that all of you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
- 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
- 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
- 9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that all of you have received, let him be accursed.
- 10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
- 11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
- 12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
- 13For all of you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
- 14And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
- 15But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
- 16To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
- 17Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
- 18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
- 19But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
- 20Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
- 21Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
- 22And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
- 23But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preaches the faith which once he destroyed.
- 24And they glorified God in me.
