9. As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
10. Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11. I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.
12. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
13. For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
14. I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
