Bshps GAL Chapter 1

1 Paul an Apostle, not of men, neither by man: but by Iesus Christe, and by God the father, which raysed hym vp from death: 2 And all the brethren which are with me. Unto ye Churches of Galacia: 3 Grace be with you, and peace from God the father, and from our Lorde Iesus Christe: 4 Which gaue hym selfe for our sinnes, to deliuer vs from this present euyll worlde, accordyng to the wyll of God, and our father: 5 To whom be glory for euer and euer. Amen. 6 I maruayle, that ye are so soone turned from him that had called you in the grace of Christe, vnto another Gospell: 7 Which is not another Gospel but that there be some which trouble you, and intende to peruert the Gospel of Christ. 8 Neuerthelesse, though we, or an Angel from heauen, preache any other Gospel vnto you, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let hym be accursed. 9 As we sayde before, so say I nowe agayne, yf any man preache any other Gospell vnto you, then that ye haue receaued, let hym be accursed. 10 Do I nowe perswade men, or God? Other do I seke to please men? For yf I shoulde yet please men, I were not the seruaunt of Christe. 11 I certifie you brethren, that the Gospell which was preached of me, was not after man. 12 For I neither receaued it of man, neither was I taught it but by the reuelation of Iesus Christe. 13 For ye haue hearde of my conuersation in tyme past in the Iewes religion, howe that beyonde measure I persecuted the Churche of God, & spoyled it: 14 And profited in the Iewes religion, aboue many of my companions in mine owne nation, beyng a very feruent maynteyner of the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, which seperated me from my mothers wombe, & called me by his grace, 16 To reueale his sonne by me, that I shoulde by the Gospell preache hym among the Heathen: immediatly I communed not with fleshe and blood: 17 Neither returned to Hierusalem, to them which were Apostles before me: but went my wayes into Arabia, and came agayne vnto Damascus. 18 Then after three yeres, I returned to Hierusale to see Peter, and abode with hym fyfteene dayes. 19 But other of the Apostles sawe I none, saue Iames the Lordes brother. 20 The thynges therfore which I write vnto you, beholde, before God I lie not. 21 Afterwarde, I came into the coastes of Syria & Cilicia, 22 and was vnknowen in face vnto the Churches of Iurie, which were in Christe. 23 But they had hearde only, that he which persecuted vs in tyme past, nowe preacheth the fayth, which before he destroyed. 24 And they glorified God in me.
