Galatians 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach unto you otherwise than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 [a]For now preach I [b]man’s doctrine, or God’s? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the servant of Christ.
11 (A)[c]Now I certify you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man.

- Galatians 1:10 A confirmation taken both from the nature of the doctrine itself, and also from that manner which he useth in teaching: for neither saith he, did I teach those things which pleased men as these men do which put part of salvation in external things, and works of the Law, neither went I about to procure any man’s favor. And therefore the matter itself showeth that that doctrine which I delivered unto you, is heavenly.
- Galatians 1:10 He toucheth the false apostles who had nothing but men in their mouths, and he, though he would derogate nothing from the Apostles, preacheth God and not men.
- Galatians 1:11 A second argument to prove that this doctrine is heavenly, because he had it from heaven, from Jesus Christ himself, without any man’s help, wherein he excelleth them whom Christ taught here on earth after the manner of men.
Galatians 1:9-11
New International Version
9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,(A) 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?(B) 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,(C) that the gospel I preached(D) is not of human origin.
