As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!

I went up according to a revelation and presented to them the gospel I preach among the Gentiles—but privately to those recognized as leaders—so that I might not be running, or have run the race, in vain.

Now from those recognized as important (what they really were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism)—they added nothing to me.

On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter was for the circumcised,

When James, Cephas, and John, recognized as pillars, acknowledged the grace that had been given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

You foolish Galatians! Who has hypnotized you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified?

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,
