2 GNV And all the brethren which are with me, vnto the Churches of Galatia: BSB BSB: and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
3 GNV Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ, BSB BSB: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

5 GNV To whom be glory for euer and euer, Amen. BSB BSB: to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
No Other Gospel 7 GNV Which is not another Gospel, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert the Gospel of Christ. BSB BSB: which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
9 GNV As we sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, let him be accursed. BSB BSB: As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
Paul Preaches the Gospel 10 GNV For nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant of Christ. BSB BSB: Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 GNV Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man. BSB BSB: For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
12 GNV For neither receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ. BSB BSB: I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
14 GNV And profited in the Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more zealous of the traditions of my fathers. BSB BSB: I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 GNV But when it pleased God (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace) BSB BSB: But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
16 GNV To reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated not with flesh and blood: BSB BSB: to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
17 GNV Neither came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto Damascus. BSB BSB: nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
20 GNV Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not. BSB BSB: I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
21 GNV After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia: for I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ. BSB BSB: Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
23 GNV But they had heard onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed. BSB BSB: They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24 GNV And they glorified God for me. BSB BSB: And they glorified God because of me.
