1 Paul, an apostle—^anot from men nor through man, ^bbut ^cthrough Jesus Christ and God the Father, ^dwho raised him from the dead— 2 and all the brothers¹ who are with me,

To ^ethe churches of Galatia:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who ^fgave himself ^gfor our sins to deliver us from the ^hpresent 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 ⁱyou are so quickly deserting him who ^jcalled you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a ^kdifferent gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who ^ltrouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to ^mthe one we preached to you, let him be ⁿaccursed. 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, let him be accursed.

10 For am I now ^oseeking the ^papproval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant² of Christ.
