[1]Paul an Apostle, not of men, neither by man: but by Iesus Christe, and by God the father, which raysed hym vp from death
[2]And all the brethren which are with me. Unto ye Churches of Galacia
[3]Grace [be] with you, and peace from God the father, and from our Lorde Iesus Christe
[4]Which gaue hym selfe for our sinnes, to deliuer vs from this present euyll worlde, accordyng to the wyll of God, and our father
[5]To whom be glory for euer and euer. Amen
[6]I maruayle, that ye are so soone turned from him that had called you in the grace of Christe, vnto another Gospell
[7]Which is not another [Gospel] but that there be some which trouble you, and intende to peruert the Gospel of Christ
[8]Neuerthelesse, 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
[9]As 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
[10]Do 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
[11]I certifie you brethren, that the Gospell which was preached of me, was not after man
[12]For I neither receaued it of man, neither was I taught [it] but by the reuelation of Iesus Christe
[13]For 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
[14]And 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
[15]But when it pleased God, which seperated me from my mothers wombe, & called [me] by his grace
[16]To reueale his sonne by me, that I shoulde by the Gospell preache hym among the Heathen: immediatly I communed not with fleshe and blood
[17]Neither returned to Hierusalem, to them which were Apostles before me: but went my wayes into Arabia, and came agayne vnto Damascus
[18]Then after three yeres, I returned to Hierusale to see Peter, and abode with hym fyfteene dayes
[19]But other of the Apostles sawe I none, saue Iames the Lordes brother
[20]The thynges therfore which I write vnto you, beholde, before God I lie not
[21]Afterwarde, I came into the coastes of Syria & Cilicia
[22]and was vnknowen in face vnto the Churches of Iurie, which were in Christe
[23]But they had hearde only, that he which persecuted vs in tyme past, nowe preacheth the fayth, which before he destroyed
[24]And they glorified God in me
