man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him

from the dead— and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches in Galatia: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever! Amen. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel— not that there really is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed! As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed! Am I now trying to gain the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a slave of Christ.
