Galatians 1:6-12

1. 6

   I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.

2. 7

   Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

3. 8

   But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.

4. 9

   As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.

5. 10

   For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

6. 11

   For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

7. 12

   For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
