Bible Chapter Summary
Galatians 1 Summary
Paul Defense of the Gospel
Paul is astonished that the Galatians are turning to a different gospel. He pronounces anathema on anyone - even an angel - who preaches a gospel different from the one received. He recounts his conversion and how he received the gospel not from man but by revelation of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 1:6-7
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.”
Galatians 1:8-9
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
Galatians 1:12
“For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
