New TestamentGalatiansThe Gospel Paul Received and Preached · 1:10–171:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:1:14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
