No Other Gospel

6I maruell yt ye are so soone turned (from him that called you in the grace of Christ) vnto another Gospell: 7which is nothinge els, but that there be some, which trouble you, and intende to peruerte the Gospell of Christ. 8Neuertheles though we oure selues, or an angell from heaue preach vnto you eny other Gospel, the yt which we haue preached vnto you, the same be acursed. 9As we haue sayde afore, so saye we now agayne: Yf eny ma preach vnto you eny other thinge, the yt ye haue receaued, ye same be acursed.

Paul Preaches the Gospel

10Preach I men now or God? Or go I aboute to please men? Yf I shulde yet please men, I were not the seruaunt of Christ.

11But I certifye you brethren, yt the Gospell which is preached of me, is not of men. 12For I nether receaued it ner lerned it of ma, but by the reuelacion of Iesus Christ.

13For ye haue herde of my conuersacion afore tyme in the Ieweshippe, how that beyode measure I persecuted the cogregacion of God, and spoyled it, 14and preuayled in the Ieweshippe aboue many of my companyons in my nacion, & was a moch more feruent manteyner of the tradicions of the fathers. 15But whan it pleased God which separated me fro my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace, 16for to declare his sonne in me, that I shulde preach him thorow the Gospell amonge the Heythen, immediatly I commened not of the matter with flesh and bloude: 17nether came I to Ierusalem vnto them which were Apostles before me: but wente my wayes in to Arabia, and came agayne to Damascon.

18Then after thre yeare I came to Ierusale to se Peter, and abode with him fyftene dayes. 19As for the other Apostles, I sawe none of them, saue Iames the LORDES brother. 20The thinges that I wryte vnto you, beholde, God knoweth, I lye not. 21After that wente I in to the coastes of Syria and Celicia: 22but of face I was vnknowne to ye Christen congregacions in Iewrye. 23Neuertheles they had herde onely, that: He that persecuted vs in tyme passed, preacheth now ye faith which some tyme he destroyed: 24and they praysed God in me.
