KJV-Parallel Bibles
1. Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
2. And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3. Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13. For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14. And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17. Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20. Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21. Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22. And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23. But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24. And they glorified God in me.
1. Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,
2. and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.
3. Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4. who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;
5. to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
6. I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
7. which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
8. But if even *we* or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
9. As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
10. For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
11. But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
12. For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
13. For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
14. and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
15. But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
16. was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
17. nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
18. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
19. but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
20. Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
21. Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22. But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
23. only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
24. and they glorified God in me.
