Galatians 1:8-18
-
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
-
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
-
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
-
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
-
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
-
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
-
14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
-
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
-
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
-
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
-
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
