Galatians 1:3-13

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, [a] 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, [b] from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel, [c]
7 which is not another [one]; but [d] 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 [e] formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
