Galatians 1 - 2
1
Paul, an a apostle - b not from men nor through man, but c through Jesus Christ and God the Father, d who raised him from the dead -
2
and all e the brothers who are with me, To f the churches of Galatia:
3
g Grace to you and peace h from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4
i who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present j evil age, according to the will of k our God and Father,
5
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
6
I am astonished that you are l so quickly deserting m him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to n a different gospel -
7
o not that there is another one, but p there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
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 of Christ.
11
For u I would have you know, brothers, that v the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.
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.
13
For you have heard of y my former life in Judaism, how z I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.
14
And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely a zealous was I for b the traditions of my fathers.
15
But when he c who had set me apart d before I was born, and who e called me by his grace,
16
was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order f that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;
17
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18
Then g after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.
19
But I saw none of the other apostles except James h the Lord's brother.
20
(In what I am writing to you, i before God, I do not lie!)
21
j Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22
And I was still unknown in person to k the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23
They only were hearing it said, "He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."
24
And they glorified God because of me.
Galatians 2
1
Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.
2
I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those l who seemed influential) the gospel that m I proclaim among the Gentiles, n in order to make sure I was not running or had not o run in vain.
3
But even Titus, who was with me, p was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.
4
q Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in - who r slipped in to spy out s our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, t so that they might bring us into slavery -
5
to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that u the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
6
And from those v who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; w God shows no partiality) - those, I say, who seemed influential x added nothing to me.
7
On the contrary, when they saw that I had been y entrusted with z the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised
8
(for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),
9
and when James and Cephas and John, v who seemed to be a pillars, perceived the b grace that was given to me, they c gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
10
Only, they asked us to remember the poor, d the very thing I was eager to do.
11
But e when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him f to his face, because he stood condemned.
12
For before certain men came from James, g he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing h the circumcision party.
13
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
14
But when I saw that their i conduct was not in step with j the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas k before them all, "If you, though a Jew, l live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?"
15
We ourselves are Jews by birth and not m Gentile sinners;
16
yet we know that n a person is not justified by works of the law o but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, p because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17
But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found q to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!
18
For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.
19
For through the law I r died to the law, so that I might s live to God.
20
I have been t crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives u in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, v who loved me and w gave himself for me.
21
I do not nullify the grace of God, for x if righteousness were through the law, y then Christ died for no purpose.
