Galatians 1:9–17 · BSB
1:9
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!
1:10
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.

1:11
For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
1:12
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
1:13
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
1:14
I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
1:15
But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
1:16
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,
1:17
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
