Galatians 1:1-10

1Paul, an emissary (sent not from men or by man, but by Yeshua the Messiah and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

2and all the brothers with me. To Messiah’s communities of Galatia:

3Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah—

4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

5to Him be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

6I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from the One who called you by the grace of Messiah, to a different “good news”—

7not that there is another, but only some who are confusing you and want to distort the Good News of Messiah.

8But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should announce any “good news” to you other than what we have proclaimed to you, let that person be cursed!

9As we have said before, so I now repeat: if anyone proclaims to you “good news” other than what you received, let that person be under a curse!

10Am I now trying to win people’s approval, or God’s? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Messiah.
