But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles [as the good news—the way of salvation], I did not immediately consult with anyone [for guidance regarding God’s call and His revelation to me].

And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

But from those who were of high reputation (whatever they were—in terms of individual importance—makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality—He is not impressed with the positions that people hold nor does He recognize distinctions such as fame or power)—well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me [that is, they had nothing to add to my gospel message nor did they impose any new requirements on me].

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of His power.

And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as apostles [special messengers, representatives], some as prophets [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as evangelists [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as pastors and teachers [to shepherd and guide and instruct],

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

for whose sake I am an ambassador in chains, desiring to declare the gospel as boldly as I should.
