Galatians 1:1-10

Christian Standard Bible

Greeting

1 Paul,^(A) an apostle—not from men or by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father^(B) who raised him from the dead^(C)— ² and all the brothers who are with me:

To the churches of Galatia.^(D)

³ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord^[a] Jesus Christ, ⁴ who gave himself for our sins^(E) to rescue us from this present evil age,^(F) according to the will of our God and Father.^{(G) 5} To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

No Other Gospel

⁶ I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called^(H) you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— ⁷ not that there is another gospel,^(I) but there are some^(J) who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or an angel^(K) from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you,^(L) a curse be on him!^{[b] 9} As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received,^(M) a curse be on him!

¹⁰ For am I now trying to persuade people,^[c] or God?^(N) Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
