1
From Paul, an apostle. I was not chosen to be an apostle by human beings, nor was I sent from human beings. I was made an apostle through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Jesus from the dead.
2
This letter is also from all those of God's familyn who are with me.
3
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4
Jesus gave himself for our sins to free us from this evil world we live in, as God the Father planned.
5
The glory belongs to God forever and ever. Amen.
6
God, by his grace through Christ, called you to become his people. So I am amazed that you are turning away so quickly and believing something different than the Good News.
7
Really, there is no other Good News. But some people are confusing you; they want to change the Good News of Christ.
8
We preached to you the Good News. So if we ourselves, or even an angel from heaven, should preach to you something different, we should be judged guilty!
9
I said this before, and now I say it again: You have already accepted the Good News. If anyone is preaching something different to you, he should be judged guilty!
10
Do you think I am trying to make people accept me? No, God is the One I am trying to please. Am I trying to please people? If I still wanted to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
