Galatians 1:10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 (A)Am I now currying favor with human beings or God? Or am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.[a]

- 1:10 This charge by Paul’s opponents, that he sought to conciliate people with flattery and to curry favor with God, might refer to his mission practices (cf. 1 Cor 9:19–23) but the word still suggests it refers to his pre-Christian days (cf. Gal 1:14; Phil 3:6). The self-description slave of Christ is one Paul often uses in a greeting (Rom 1:1).
Galatians 1:10
New International Version
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people?(A) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
