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

for I did not receive it from man, neither was I taught it, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

but I went up according to revelation; and I presented to them the gospel which I am preaching among the Gentiles, but privately to the prominent ones, lest perhaps I am running, or did run, in vain.

I only wish to learn this from you, Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by hearing of faith?

Then did the one imparting to you the Spirit, and working miracles, among you, do it by works of law, or by hearing of faith?

You were running well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
