1 παυλος, αποστολος ουκ απ ανθρωπων, ουδε δι ανθρωπου, αλλα δια ιησου χριστου και θεου πατρος του εγειραντος αυτον εκ νεκρων, 2 και οι συν εμοι παντες αδελφοι, ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας· 3 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου, 4 του δοντος εαυτον υπερ των αμαρτιων ημων, οπως εξεληται ημας εκ του ενεστωτος αιωνος πονηρου κατα το θελημα του θεου και πατρος ημων, 5 ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· αμην. 6 θαυμαζω οτι ουτως ταχεως μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντος υμας εν χαριτι χριστου εις ετερον ευαγγελιον, 7 ο ουκ εστιν αλλο, ει μη τινες εισιν οι ταρασσοντες υμας και θελοντες μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου. 8 αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου ευαγγελιζηται υμιν παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν, αναθεμα εστω. 9 ως προειρηκαμεν, και αρτι παλιν λεγω· ει τις υμας ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε, αναθεμα εστω. 10 αρτι γαρ ανθρωπους πειθω η τον θεον; η ζητω ανθρωποις αρεσκειν; ει γαρ ετι ανθρωποις ηρεσκον, χριστου δουλος ουκ αν ημην. 11 γνωριζω δε υμιν, αδελφοι, το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον· 12 ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην, αλλα δι αποκαλυψεως ιησου χριστου. 13 ηκουσατε γαρ την εμην αναστροφην ποτε εν τω ιουδαισμω, οτι καθ υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του θεου και επορθουν αυτην, 14 και προεκοπτον εν τω ιουδαισμω υπερ πολλους συνηλικιωτας εν τω γενει μου, περισσοτερως ζηλωτης υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων. 15 οτε δε ευδοκησεν ο θεος ο αφορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου 16 αποκαλυψαι τον υιον αυτου εν εμοι, ινα ευαγγελιζωμαι αυτον εν τοις εθνεσιν, ευθεως ου προσανεθεμην σαρκι και αιματι, 17 ουδε ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα προς τους προ εμου αποστολους, αλλα απηλθον εις αραβιαν, και παλιν υπεστρεψα εις δαμασκον. 18 επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι πετρον, και επεμεινα προς αυτον ημερας δεκαπεντε· 19 ετερον δε των αποστολων ουκ ειδον ει μη ιακωβον τον αδελφον του κυριου. 20 α δε γραφω υμιν, ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι. 21 επειτα ηλθον εις τα κλιματα της συριας και της κιλικιας. 22 ημην δε αγνοουμενος τω προσωπω ταις εκκλησιαις της ιουδαιας ταις εν χριστω· 23 μονον δε ακουοντες ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημας ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει, 24 και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον.

… and darting fire; which thing he himself makes a proof of the power of Him that called him, saying to the Galatians, "Ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God." And the fishermen too He called when they were in the midst of their business.

For though we or an angel from heaven preach to you any other gospel than that ye have received, let him be to you anathema.
