Galatians 1:8-12
New American Standard Bible
8 But even if we, or (A)an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be [a](B)accursed! 9 As we (C)have said before, even now I say again: (D)if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be [b](E)accursed!
10 For am I now (F)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 (G)bond-servant of Christ.
Paul Defends His Ministry
11 For (H)I would have you know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel which was preached by me is (I)not [c]of human invention. 12 For (J)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a (K)revelation of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 1:8-12
New International Version
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,(A) let them be under God’s curse!(B) 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,(C) 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?(D) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Paul Called by God
11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters,(E) that the gospel I preached(F) is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man,(G) nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation(H) from Jesus Christ.(I)
