Introduction

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:1 -

Paul, an apostle (not sent from men nor through human agency, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:2 - and all the brothers who are with me,

To the churches of Galatia:

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:3 -

Grace to you and peace from [fn]God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:4 - who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil [fn]age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:5 - to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

Distortion of the Gospel

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:6 -

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you [fn]by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel,

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:7 - which is not just another account; but there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:8 - But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be [fn]accursed!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:9 - As we have said before, even now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be [fn]accursed!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:10 -

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

Paul Defends His Ministry

(cf. Act 9:1–25 )
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:11 -

For I would have you know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel which was preached by me is not [fn]of human invention.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:12 - For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:13 -

For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it;

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:14 - and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my [fn]countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:15 - But when [fn]He who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace was pleased
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:16 - to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with [fn]flesh and blood,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:17 - nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.
(cf. Act 9:26–31 )
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:18 -

Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to [fn]become acquainted with [fn]Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:19 - But I did not see another one of the apostles except [fn]James, the Lord’s brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:20 - (Now in what I am writing to you, [fn]I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:21 - Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:22 - I was still unknown by [fn]sight to the churches of Judea which are in Christ;
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:23 - but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:24 - And they were glorifying God [fn]because of me.
