1 Paul, an ^aapostle—^bnot from men nor through man, but ^cthrough Jesus Christ and God the Father, ^dwho raised him from the dead— 2 and all ^ethe brothers¹ who are with me,

To ^fthe churches of Galatia:

3 ^gGrace to you and peace ^hfrom God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 ⁱwho gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present ^jevil age, according to the will of ^kour God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

6 I am astonished that you are ^lso quickly deserting ^mhim who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to ⁿa different gospel— 7 ^onot that there is another one, but ^pthere are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or ^qan angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ^rlet him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, ^rlet him be accursed.

10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying ^sto please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a ^tservant² of Christ.
