Galatians 1:3-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. Grace and peace to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4. who gave himself on behalf of our sins, so that he might deliver us from this present wicked age, according to the will of God our Father.

5. To him is glory forever and ever. Amen.

6. I wonder that you have been so quickly transferred, from him who called you into the grace of Christ, over to another gospel.

7. For there is no other, except that there are some persons who disturb you and who want to overturn the Gospel of Christ.

8. But if anyone, even we ourselves or an Angel from Heaven, were to preach to you a gospel other than the one that we have preached to you, let him be anathema.

9. Just as we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone has preached a gospel to you, other than that which you have received, let him be anathema.

10. For am I now persuading men, or God? Or, am I seeking to please men? If I still were pleasing men, then I would not be a servant of Christ.

11. For I would have you understand, brothers, that the Gospel which has been preached by me is not according to man.

12. And I did not receive it from man, nor did I learn it, except through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13. For you have heard of my former behavior within Judaism: that, beyond measure, I persecuted the Church of God and fought against Her.
