Galatians 1 — WBMS
1Verse 1Paul the apostle, not of men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, that raised him from death,Verse 2and all the brethren that be with me, to the churches of Galatia,Verse 3grace to you and peace of God the Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ,Verse 4that gave himself for our sins, to deliver us from the present wicked world, by the will of God and our Father,Verse 5to whom is honour and glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.Verse 6I wonder, that so soon ye be thus moved from him that called you into the grace of Christ, into another evangel [or another gospel];Verse 7which is not another, but that there be some that trouble you, and will mis-turn the evangel of Christ.Verse 8But though we, or an angel of heaven, preached to you, besides that that we have preached to you, be he accursed.Verse 9As I have said before, and now again I say, if any man preach to you besides that that ye have received, be he accursed [or cursed be he].Verse 10For now whether counsel I men, or God? or whether I seek to please men? If I pleased yet men, I were not Christ’s servant.Verse 11For, brethren, I make known to you the evangel [or the gospel], that was preached of me, for it is not by man;Verse 12nor I took it of man, nor learned, but by [the] revelation of Jesus Christ.Verse 13For ye have heard my conver-sation sometime in the Jewry, that I pursued surpassingly, [or over-manner, or over-measure], the church of God, and fought against it.Verse 14And I profited in the Jewry above many of mine even-elders in my kindred, and was more abundantly a follower [or a lover] of my fathers’ traditions.Verse 15But when it pleased him, that parted me from my mother’s womb, and called by his grace,Verse 16to show his Son in me, that I should preach him among the heathen, anon I drew me not to flesh and blood;Verse 17nor I came to Jerusalem to the apostles, that were before me, but I went into Arabia, and again I turned again into Damascus.Verse 18And since three years after I came to Jerusalem [or Afterward after three years I came to Jerusalem], to see Peter, and I dwelled with him fifteen days;Verse 19but I saw none other of the apostles, but James, our Lord’s brother.Verse 20And these things which I write to you, lo! before God I lie not.Verse 21Afterward I came into the coasts of Syria and Cilicia.Verse 22But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, that were in Christ;Verse 23and they had only an hearing, that he that pursued us sometime, preacheth now the faith, against which he fought sometime;Verse 24and in me they glorified God.
