Final Greetings

¹¹ Finally, brothers and sisters,^(A) rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace.^(B) And the God of love^(C) and peace^(D) will be with you.

¹² Greet one another with a holy kiss.^{(E) 13} All God’s people here send their greetings.^(F)

¹⁴ May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,^(G) and the love of God,^(H) and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit^(I) be with you all.

1 Paul, an apostle^(J)—sent not from men nor by a man,^(K) but by Jesus Christ^(L) and God the Father,^(M) who raised him from the dead^(N)— ² and all the brothers and sisters^[a] with me,^(O)

To the churches in Galatia:^(P)

³ Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,^{(Q) 4} who gave himself for our sins^(R) to rescue us from the present evil age,^(S) according to the will of our God and Father,^{(T) 5} to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.^(U)

No Other Gospel

⁶ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called^(V) you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel^(W)— ⁷ which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion^(X) and are trying to pervert^(Y) the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,^(Z) let them be under God’s curse!^{(AA) 9} As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,^(AB) let them be under God’s curse!

¹⁰ Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people?^(AC) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
