Perversion of the Gospel

6 ¶ I am° amazed° that you are so° quickly° deserting°° aHim who called° you Iby the grace° of Christ°, for a bdifferent° gospel°; 7 which° is [really] not another°; only°° there are some° who are adisturbing° you and want° to distort° the gospel° of Christ°. 8 But even° if° we, or° aan angel° from heaven°, should preach° to you a gospel° Icontrary° to what° we have preached° to you, he is to be IIbaccursed°! 9 As we ahave said° before°, so° I say° again° now°, bif° any° man° is preaching° to you a gospel° Icontrary° to what° you received°, he is to be IIcaccursed°!

Paul Defends His Ministry

11 ¶ For aI would have° you know°, brethren°, that the gospel° which was preached° by me is bnot according° to man°. 12 For aI neither° received° it from man°, nor° was I taught° it, but [I received it] through° a brevelation° of Jesus° Christ°.

13 ¶ For you have heard° of amy former° manner° of life° in Judaism°, how° I bused to persecute° cthe church° of God° beyond°° measure° and dtried to destroy° it; 14 and I awas advancing° in Judaism° beyond° many° of my contemporaries° among° my Icountrymen°, being° more° extremely° zealous° for my bancestral° traditions°. 15 But when° God, who had set° me apart° [even] from my mother’s° womb° and acalled° me through° His grace°, was pleased° 16 to reveal° His Son° in me so° that I might apreach° Him among° the Gentiles°, bI did not immediately° consult° with Icflesh° and blood°, 17 anor° did I go° up to Jerusalem° to those° who were apostles° before° me; but I went° away° to Arabia°, and returned° once° more° to bDamascus°.

13 Forº ye have heardºª of myº conversationº in time pastº inº the² Jews' religion,º how thatº beyond¹ measureº² I persecutedºª the² churchº of God,º andº wastedºª it:º 14 Andº profitedºª inº the² Jews' religionº aboveº manyº my equalsº inº mine ownº nation,º beingºª more exceedinglyº zealousº of the traditionsº of myº fathers.º 15 Butº whenº it pleasedºª God,º who¹ separatedºª meº fromº myº mother'sº womb,º andº calledºª [me] byº his¹² grace,º 16 To revealºª his¹² Sonº inº me,º thatº I might preachºª himº amongº the² heathen;º immediatelyº I conferredºª notº with fleshº andº blood:º
