Paul, an apostle, not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of God our Father;

I marvel that ye are so soon turning from him that called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel;

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed!

for I did not receive it from man nor was I taught it by any man, but it was revealed to me by Jesus Christ.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, "Cursed is every one that is hanged on a beam of wood,"

Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth in no respect from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;

Which things are written allegorically; for these women are two covenants; the one from Mount Sinai, who beareth children into bondage, which is Hagar;

Ye are entirely separated from Christ, who seek to obtain righteousness through the Law; ye have fallen away from grace.

This persuasion came not from him that called you.
