1Paul, an apostle—not from humans nor through a human, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—2and all the brothers with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,4who gave himself for our sins in order that he might deliver us from the present evil age according to the will of our God and Father,5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.6I am astonished that you are being so quickly removed from the one who called you by the grace of Christ to a different gospel,7which is not another gospel, except that certain persons are troubling you and desire to distort the gospel of Christ.8But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to the one we proclaimed to you, let that one be devoted.9As we have previously declared, and now declare again: if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be devoted.10For am I now seeking to persuade humans, or God? Or am I seeking to please humans? If I were still trying to please humans, I would not be a slave of Christ.
