Galatians 1:1-10

1Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

2and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:

3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

4who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

7not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, 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, let him be accursed.

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