Galatians 1:6-12
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Are You Turning Away From The Gospel I Received Through a Revelation From Christ?

6 I am marveling that you are so quickly[a] turning-away from the One having called you by the grace of Christ to a different good-news— 7 which is not another[b] [good news]— except there are some disturbing you and intending[c] to change[d] the good-news of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should[e] announce-a-good-news to you other-than[f] what we announced-as-good-news to you, let him be accursed[g]. 9 As we have said-before I am also now saying again— if anyone is[h] announcing-a-good-news-to you other-than what you received, let him be accursed. 10 For am I now trying to win-approval-of [i] humans or God? Or am I seeking to please humans? If I were still[j] seeking to please humans, I would not be a slave of Christ! 11 For I make-known to you, brothers, as to the good-news having been announced-as-good-news by me, that it is not according-to[k] a human[l]. 12 For I neither received it from a human, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of [m] Jesus Christ.

Galatians 1:6-12
New International Version

No Other Gospel

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called(A) you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel(B)— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion(C) and are trying to pervert(D) the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,(E) let them be under God’s curse!(F) 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,(G) 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?(H) 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,(I) that the gospel I preached(J) is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man,(K) nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation(L) from Jesus Christ.(M)
