Paul’s Greeting to the Galatians

1Paul an Apostle, not of men, neither by man: but by Iesus Christe, and by God the father, which raysed hym vp from death: 2And all the brethren which are with me. Unto ye Churches of Galacia:

3Grace be with you, and peace from God the father, and from our Lorde Iesus Christe: 4Which gaue hym selfe for our sinnes, to deliuer vs from this present euyll worlde, accordyng to the wyll of God, and our father: 5To whom be glory for euer and euer. Amen.

No Other Gospel

6I maruayle, that ye are so soone turned from him that had called you in the grace of Christe, vnto another Gospell: 7Which is not another Gospel but that there be some which trouble you, and intende to peruert the Gospel of Christ. 8Neuerthelesse, though we, or an Angel from heauen, preache any other Gospel vnto you, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let hym be accursed. 9As we sayde before, so say I nowe agayne, yf any man preache any other Gospell vnto you, then that ye haue receaued, let hym be accursed.

Paul Preaches the Gospel

10Do I nowe perswade men, or God? Other do I seke to please men? For yf I shoulde yet please men, I were not the seruaunt of Christe.

11I certifie you brethren, that the Gospell which was preached of me, was not after man. 12For I neither receaued it of man, neither was I taught it but by the reuelation of Iesus Christe.

13For ye haue hearde of my conuersation in tyme past in the Iewes religion, howe that beyonde measure I persecuted the Churche of God, & spoyled it: 14And profited in the Iewes religion, aboue many of my companions in mine owne nation, beyng a very feruent maynteyner of the traditions of my fathers. 15But when it pleased God, which seperated me from my mothers wombe, & called me by his grace, 16To reueale his sonne by me, that I shoulde by the Gospell preache hym among the Heathen: immediatly I communed not with fleshe and blood: 17Neither returned to Hierusalem, to them which were Apostles before me: but went my wayes into Arabia, and came agayne vnto Damascus.

18Then after three yeres, I returned to Hierusale to see Peter, and abode with hym fyfteene dayes. 19But other of the Apostles sawe I none, saue Iames the Lordes brother. 20The thynges therfore which I write vnto you, beholde, before God I lie not. 21Afterwarde, I came into the coastes of Syria & Cilicia, 22(1:21) and was vnknowen in face vnto the Churches of Iurie, which were in Christe. 23(1:22) But they had hearde only, that he which persecuted vs in tyme past, nowe preacheth the fayth, which before he destroyed. 24(1:23) And they glorified God in me.
