2

and allg3956  athe brethreng80 who are with me,

To  bthe churchesg1577 of Galatiag1053:

3

 aGraceg5485 to you and peaceg1515 from  1Godg2316 our Fatherg3962 and the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547,

4

who  agaveg1325 Himselfg1438 for our sinsg266 sog3704 that He might rescueg1807 us from  bthisg3588 presentg1764 evilg4190  1ageg165, accordingg2596 to the willg2307 of  cour Godg2316 and Fatherg3962,

5

 ato whomg3739 be the gloryg1391 forevermoreg165. Ameng281.

Perversion of the Gospel

6

I amg2296 amazedg2296 that you are sog3779 quicklyg5030 desertingg3346ag575  aHim who calledg2564 you  1by the graceg5485 of Christg5547, for a  bdifferentg2087 gospelg2098;

7

whichg3739 is really not anotherg243; onlyg1487g3361 there are someg5100 who are  adisturbingg5015 you and wantg2309 to distortg3344 the gospelg2098 of Christg5547.

8

But eveng2532 ifg1437 we, org2228  aan angelg32a from heaveng3772, should preachg2097 to you a gospelg2097  1contraryg3844 to whatg3739 we have preachedg2097 to you, he is to be  2 baccursedg331!

9

As we  ahave saidg4275b beforeg4275b, sog2532 I sayg3004 againg3825 nowg737,  bifg1487 anyg5100 mang5100 is preachingg2097 to you a gospelg2097  1contraryg3844 to whatg3739 you receivedg3880, he is to be  2 caccursedg331!

10

For am I nowg737  aseekingg3982 the favorg3982 of meng444, org2228 of Godg2316? Org2228 am I strivingg2212 to pleaseg700 meng444? Ifg1487 I were stillg2089 trying to pleaseg700 meng444, I would not be a  bbond-servantg1401 of Christg5547.

Paul Defends His Ministry

11

For  aI would haveg1107 you knowg1107, brethreng80, that the gospelg2098 which was preachedg2097 by me is  bnot accordingg2596 to mang444.

12

For  aI neitherg3761 receivedg3880 it from mang444, norg3777 was I taughtg1321 it, but I received it throughg1223 a  brevelationg602 of Jesusg2424 Christg5547.

13

For you have heardg191 of  amy formerg4218 mannerg391 of lifeg391 in Judaismg2454, howg3754 I  bused to persecuteg1377  cthe churchg1577 of Godg2316 beyondg2596g5236 measureg5236 and  dtried to destroyg4199 it;

14

and I  awas advancingg4298 in Judaismg2454 beyondg5228 manyg4183 of my contemporariesg4915 amongg1722 my  1countrymeng1085, beingg5225 moreg4053 extremelyg4053 zealousg2207 for my  bancestralg3967 traditionsg3862.

15

But wheng3753 God, who had setg873 me apartg873 even from my mother'sg3384 wombg2836 and  acalledg2564 me throughg1223 His graceg5485, was pleasedg2106

16

to revealg601 His Song5207 in me sog2443 that I might  apreachg2097 Him amongg1722 the Gentilesg1484,  bI did not immediatelyg2112 consultg4323 with  1 cfleshg4561 and bloodg129,

17

 anorg3761 did I gog424 up to Jerusalemg2414 to thoseg3588 who were apostlesg652 beforeg4253 me; but I wentg565 awayg565 to Arabiag688, and returnedg5290 onceg3825 moreg3825 to  bDamascusg1154.

18

Theng1899  athreeg5140 yearsg2094 laterg3326 I wentg424 up  bto Jerusalemg2414 to  1becomeg2477 acquaintedg2477 with  cCephasg2786, and stayedg1961 with him fifteeng1178b daysg2250.

19

But I did not seeg3708 anyg2087 otherg2087 of the apostlesg652 exceptg1508  1 aJamesg2385, the Lord'sg2962 brotherg80.

20

(Nowg1161 in whatg3739 I am writingg1125 to you,  1I assureg2400 you  abeforeg1799 Godg2316 that I am not lyingg5574.)

21

Theng1899  aI wentg2064 into the regionsg2824 of  bSyriag4947 and  cCiliciag2791.

22

I was still unknowng50 by  1sightg4383 to  athe churchesg1577 of Judeag2453 which were  bin Christg5547;

23

but onlyg3440, they kept hearingg191, "He who onceg4218 persecutedg1377 us is nowg3568 preachingg2097  athe faithg4102 whichg3739 he onceg4218  btried to destroyg4199."

24

And they  awere glorifyingg1392 Godg2316  1becauseg1722 of me.
