1 Paul, an emissary—not from men, nor through man, but through Yeshua the Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— 2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Messiah to a different "good news", 7 but there isn’t another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Messiah. 8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should proclaim to you any "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed. 9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed. 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Messiah.

11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. 12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua the Messiah. 13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it. 14 I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace 16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were emissaries before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But of the other emissaries I saw no one except Jacob, the Lord’s brother. 20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying. 21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Messiah, 23 but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy." 24 So they glorified God in me.

1 Paul, an Apostle, not from men, neither by man; but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from the dead;2 and all the brethren who are with me, to the congregations of Galatia:3 Favor to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,5 to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him who called you into the favor of Christ, to another gospel;7 which is not another: but there are some who trouble you, and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.8 But if even we, or an angel from heaven, declare a gospel to you, different from what we have declared to you, let him be accursed.9 As we said before, so now I say again, if any one declare a gospel to you, different from what you have received, let him be accursed.10 For do I now conciliate men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.11 Now I certify you, brethren, concerning the gospel which was declared by me, that it is not according to men.12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, except by the revelation of Jesus Christ.13 You have certainly heard of my behavior formerly in Judaism; that I exceedingly persecuted the congregation of God, and laid it waste;14 and made progress in Judaism above many of the same age with myself, in my own nation, being more exceedingly jealous of the traditions of my fathers.15 But when God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his favor, was pleased16 to reveal his Son to me, that I might declare the good news concerning him to the Gentiles; immediately I did not consult flesh and blood:17 neither did I go up to Jerusalem, to them who were Apostles before me; but I went away in Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.18 Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.19 But I saw no other of the Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.20 Now as to the things which I write to you, behold, God is my witness that I do not falsely affirm.21 After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;22 and I was personally unknown to the congregations of Judea which are in Christ.23 They had only heard that-he who formerly persecuted us, now announces, as glad tidings, the faith which he formerly destroyed.24 And they glorified God on my account.
