Galatians 1:8-12

No Other Gospel

8 But even if we or q an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, r let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, r let him be accursed.

10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying s to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a t servant 1 of Christ.

Paul Called by God

11 For u I would have you know, brothers, that v the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. 2 12 w For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it x through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
