The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Galatians

1 Straight after the salutation, 6 He reprehendeth the Galatians for revolting, 9 from his Gospel, 15 which he received from God, 17 before he had communicated with any of the Apostles.

Paul [a]an Apostle (not [b]of men, neither by [c]man, (A)but by [d]Jesus Christ, and God the Father which hath raised him from the dead.)

And all the brethren which are with me unto the Churches of Galatia:

Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

[e]Which gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us (B)from this present evil [f]world according to the will of God even our Father,

To whom be glory forever and ever, Amen.
