Galatians 1:6-12
New American Standard Bible
Distortion of the Gospel
6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting (A)Him who called you [a]by the grace of Christ, for a (B)different gospel, 7 which is not just another account; but there are some who are (C)disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or (D)an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be [b](E)accursed! 9 As we (F)have said before, even now I say again: (G)if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be [c](H)accursed!
10 For am I now (I)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 (J)bond-servant of Christ.
Paul Defends His Ministry
11 For (K)I would have you know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel which was preached by me is (L)not [d]of human invention. 12 For (M)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a (N)revelation of Jesus Christ.
