Vnto the congregacios of Galacia. 3Grace be with you and peace from God the father a nd from oure Lorde Iesus Christ 4which gave him selfe for oure synnes to deliver vs from this present evyll worlde thorow the will of God oure father 5to whom be prayse for ever and ever. Amen. No Other Gospel 6I marvayle that ye are so sone turned fro him that called you in the grace of Christ vnto another gospell: 7which is nothinge els but that ther be some which trouble you and intende to pervert to gospell of Christ. 8Neverthelesse though we oure selves or an angell fro heve preache eny other gospell vnto you the that which we have preached vnto you holde him as a cursed. 9As I sayde before so saye I now agayne yf eny man preache eny other thinge vnto you then that ye have receaved holde him accursed. Paul Preaches the Gospel 10Preache I mannes doctrine or Godes? Ether go I about to please men? If I stodyed to please men I were not the servaunt of Christ. 11I certifie you brethren that the gospell which was preached of me was not after the maner of men 12nether receaved I it of ma nether was I taught it: but receaved it by the revelacion of Iesus Christ. 13For ye have hearde of my conversacion in tyme past in the Iewes wayes how that beyonde measure I persecuted the congregacion of God and spoyled it: 14and prevayled in the Iewes laye above many of my companions which were of myne awne nacio and was a moche more fervet mayntener of the tradicions of the elders. 15But whe it pleased God which seperated me from my mothers wombe and called me by his grace 16forto declare his sonne by me that I shuld preache him amonge the hethen: immediatly I comened not of the matter with flesshe and bloud 17nether returned to Ierusalem to them which were Apostles before me: but wet my wayes into Arabia and came agayne vnto Damasco. 18Then after thre yeare I returned to Ierusalem to se Peter and abode with him .xv. dayes 19no nother of the Apostles sawe I save Iames the Lordes brother. 20The thinges which I write beholde God knoweth I lye not. 21After that I went into the costes of Siria and Cilicia: 22and was vnknowen as touchinge my person vnto ye cogregacios of Iewrye which were in Christ. 23But they hearde only that he which persecuted vs in tyme past now preacheth the fayth which before he destroyed. 24And they glorified God on my behalffe. |
