Galatians 1:1-12

Common English Bible CEB

1 From Paul, an apostle who is not sent from human authority or commissioned through human agency, but sent through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead;

2 and from all the brothers and sisters with me. To the churches in Galatia.

3 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 He gave himself for our sins, so he could deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.

5 To God be the glory forever and always! Amen.

6 I'm amazed that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ to follow another gospel.

7 It's not really another gospel, but certain people are confusing you and they want to change the gospel of Christ.

8 However, even if we ourselves or a heavenly angel should ever preach anything different from what we preached to you, they should be under a curse.

9 I'm repeating what we've said before: if anyone preaches something different from what you received, they should be under a curse!

10 Am I trying to win over human beings or God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I wouldn't be Christ's slave.

11 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that the gospel I preached isn't human in origin.

12 I didn't receive it or learn it from a human. It came through a revelation from Jesus Christ.

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Paul an apostle—sent neither by human commission nor from human authorities, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

2 and all the members of God's family who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

4 who gave himself for our sins to set us free from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

7 not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed!

9 As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed!

10 Am I now seeking human approval, or God's approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

11 For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin;

12 for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
