Galatians 1:11-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
11
For I would have you know, brothers
and sisters,
that the gospel which was preached by me is not of human invention.
12
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but
I received it
through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it;
14
and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.
15
But when He who had set me apart
even
from my mother’s womb and called
me
through His grace was pleased
16
to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,
17
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those
who were
apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.
18
Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days.
King James Version
Chapter 1
11
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13
For ye 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:
14
And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15
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 heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
11
For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin.
12
For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13
For you have heard about my former way of life in Judaism: I intensely persecuted God’s church and tried to destroy it.
14
I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries among my people, because I was extremely zealous for the traditions of my ancestors.
15
But when God, who from my mother’s womb set me apart and called me by his grace, was pleased
16
to reveal his Son in me, so that I could preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone.
17
I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me; instead I went to Arabia and came back to Damascus.
18
Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to get to know Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
11
Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning.
12
I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.
13
You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion — how I violently persecuted God’s church. I did my best to destroy it.
14
I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors.
15
But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him
16
to reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles. When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being.
17
Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away into Arabia, and later I returned to the city of Damascus.
18
Then three years later I went to Jerusalem to get to know Peter, and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
11
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man 's gospel.
12
For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13
For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.
14
And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.
15
But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace,
16
was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;
17
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.

Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.

11
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught
it,
but
it came
through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and
tried to
destroy it.
