6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

As we said before, so I say now again, If any man preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
For do I now seek the favour of men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion: how that, beyond measure, I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it.
For ye have heard of my former manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 And I made progress in the Jews’ religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood.
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me: but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus.

18 Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem, to see Peter, and I tarried with him fifteen days.

21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ:
And was unknown by face to the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past, doth now preach the faith which once he impugned:
But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 And they glorified God in me.
And they glorified God in me.
