Galatians 1:6-12

English Standard Version

No Other Gospel

⁶I am astonished that you are ^(A)so quickly deserting ^(B)him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to ^(C)a different gospel— ⁷^(D)not that there is another one, but ^(E)there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. ⁸But even if we or ^(F)an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ^(G)let him be accursed. ⁹As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, ^(H)let him be accursed.

¹⁰For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying ^(I)to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a ^(J)servant^[a] of Christ.

Paul Called by God

¹¹For ^(K)I would have you know, brothers, that ^(L)the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.^[b] ¹²^(M)For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it ^(N)through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

New King James Version

Only One Gospel

⁶I marvel that you are turning away so soon ^(A)from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, ⁷^(B)which is not another; but there are some ^(C)who trouble you and want to ^(D)pervert^[a] the gospel of Christ. ⁸But even if ^(E)we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be ^[b]accursed. ⁹As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you ^(F)than what you have received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰For ^(G)do I now ^(H)persuade men, or God? Or ^(I)do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

Call to Apostleship^(J)

¹¹^(K)But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. ¹²For ^(L)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came ^(M)through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
