6 - I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different "good news";
7 - and there isn't another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 - But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 - As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 - For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ.
11 - But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12 - For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 - For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.
14 - I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 - But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,
16 - to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn't immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 - nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 - Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 - But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 - Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying.
21 - Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 - I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
23 - but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
