Galatians 1 — DRA
1Verse 1Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,Verse 2And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.Verse 3Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,Verse 4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:Verse 5To whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.Verse 6I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.Verse 7Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.Verse 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.Verse 9As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.Verse 10For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.Verse 11For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.Verse 12For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.Verse 13For 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.Verse 14And I made progress in the Jews’ religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.Verse 15But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,Verse 16To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood.Verse 17Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me: but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus.Verse 18Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem, to see Peter, and I tarried with him fifteen days.Verse 19But other of the apostles I saw none, saving James the brother of the Lord.Verse 20Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.Verse 21Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.Verse 22And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ:Verse 23But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past, doth now preach the faith which once he impugned:Verse 24And they glorified God in me.
