1:1 |
aul an Apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him fro the dead, |
|
1:2 |
And all the brethren which are with mee, vnto the Churches of Galatia: |
|
1:3 |
Grace bee to you and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ, |
|
1:4 |
Who gaue himselfe for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world, according to the will of God, and our Father, |
|
1:5 |
To whom bee glorie for euer and euer, Amen. |
|
1:6 |
I marueile, that you are so soone remoued from him, that called you into the grace of Christ, vnto an other Gospel: |
|
1:7 |
Which is not another; but there bee some that trouble you, and would peruert the Gospel of Christ. |
|
1:8 |
But though we, or an Angel from heauen, preach any other Gospel vnto you, then that which wee haue preached vnto you, let him be accursed. |
|
1:9 |
As we said before, so say I now againe, If any man preach any other Gospel vnto you, then that yee haue receiued, let him be accursed. |
|
1:10 |
For doe I now perswade men, or God? or doe I seeke to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not bee the seruant of Christ. |
|
1:11 |
But I certifie you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me, is not after man. |
|
1:12 |
For I neither receiued it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ. |
|
1:13 |
For yee haue heard of my couuersation in time past, in the Iewes Religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the Church of God, and wasted it: |
|
1:14 |
And profited in the Iewes Religion, aboue many my equals in mine owne nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. |
|
1:15 |
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace, |
|
1:16 |
To reueale his sonne in mee, that I might preach him among the heathen, immediatly I conferred not with flesh and blood: |
|
1:17 |
Neither went I vp to Ierusalem, to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and returned againe vnto Damascus. |
|
1:18 |
Then after three yeeres, I went vp to Ierusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes. |
|
1:19 |
But other of the Apostles saw I none, saue Iames the Lords brother. |
|
1:20 |
Now the things which I write vnto you, behold, before God I lye not. |
|
1:21 |
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia, |
|
1:22 |
And was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ. |
|
1:23 |
But they had heard onely, that he which persecuted vs in times past, now preacheth the faith, which once hee destroyed. |
|
1:24 |
And they glorified God in me. |
