4th Sunday in September
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Galatians 1:1-12

Paul, an apostle (not sent from men, nor through the agency of man, but through
Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), and all the brethren
who are with me, to the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God our
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might
deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of
Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some
who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary
to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before,
so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which
you received, let him be accursed.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men?
If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. For
I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not
according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but
I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:1-12 (NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

Greetings from Paul, an apostle. I was chosen to be an apostle, but not by any group
of people. My authority did not come from other people. No! It was Jesus Christ
and God the Father who made me an apostle. God is the One who raised Jesus from
death. Greetings also from all the brothers in Christ who are with me. To the churches
(groups of believers) in Galatia. I pray that God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ will be good to you and give you peace. Jesus gave himself for our sins.
Jesus did this to free us from this evil world we live in. This is what God the
Father wanted. The glory belongs to God forever and ever. Amen.

A short time ago God called you to follow him. He called you through his grace (kindness)
that came through Christ. But now I am amazed at you people! You are already turning
away and believing something different from the Good News we told you. There is
no other message that is good news. But some people are confusing you. They want
to change the Good News about Christ.

We told you the true Good News message. So if anyone tells you a different message,
they should be condemned--even if it's one of us or even an angel from heaven! I
said this before. Now I say it again: You have already accepted the Good News.
If any person tells you another way to be saved, they should be condemned!

Now do you think I am trying to make people accept me? No! God is the One I am trying
to please. Am I trying to please people? If I wanted to please people, I would not
be a servant of Jesus Christ. Brothers [and sisters], I want you to know that the
Good News message I told you was not made up by any person. I did not get my message
from any other human. The Good News is not something I learned from other people.
Jesus Christ himself gave it to me. He showed me the Good News that I should tell
people. Galatians 1:1-12 (ERV)
