✧Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead— ✧2and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia: ✧3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, ✧4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, ✧5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. ✧6I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— ✧7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ. ✧8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse! ✧9As 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 under a curse! ✧10Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. ✧11For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
