Galatians 1:1-10

1Paul, 1an apostle (2not sent from men nor through human agency, but 3through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who 4raised Him from the dead), 2and all 5the brothers who are with me,

To 6the churches of Galatia:

37Grace to you and peace from 8God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4who 9gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from 10this present evil 11age, according to the will of 12our God and Father, 513to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

6I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting 14Him who called you 15by the grace of Christ, for a 16different gospel, 7which is not just another account; but there are some who are 17disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we, or 18an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be 1920accursed! 9As we 21have said before, even now I say again: 22if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be 2324accursed!

10For am I now 25seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a 26bond-servant of Christ.
