But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel was preached to me, that it is not according to a man;

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

For you have heard of my life formerly in Judaism, that I was persecuting the church of God exceedingly, and destroying it:

and I was prominent in Judaism above many comrades in my race, being exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

When the one having separated me, from the womb of my mother, and called me through his grace, was pleased

But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which are in Christ.

But they were only hearing that The one persecuting us at one time is now preaching the faith which he was once desolating;

O foolish Galatians, who has been bewitching you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was set forth having been crucified?

As Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

And I say this; The law which was given after four hundred and thirty years, does not disannul the covenant which had been before confirmed of God, so as to make the promise of none effect.

Then what is the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the seed to whom the promise was made should come; being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Then was the law against the promises of God? it could not be so. For if the law was given being able to create life, truly justification would have been by law:
