Galatians 1:6-14

English Standard Version

No Other Gospel

⁶ I 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. ⁸ But 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. ⁹ As 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.

¹⁰ For 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

¹¹ For ^(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. ¹³ For you have heard of ^(O)my former life in Judaism, how ^(P)I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. ¹⁴ And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely ^(Q)zealous was I for ^(R)the traditions of my fathers.
