New Testament

Galatians 1:4-12 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

4. Jesus gave himself for our sins to free us from this evil world we live in. This is what God our Father wanted.

5. The glory belongs to God forever and ever. Amen.

6. A short time ago God chose you to follow him. He chose you through his grace that came through Christ. But now I am amazed that you are already turning away and believing something different from the Good News we told you.

7. There is no other message that is the Good News, but some people are confusing you. They want to change the Good News about Christ.

8. We told you the true Good News message. So anyone who tells you a different message should be condemned—even if it’s one of us or even an angel from heaven!

9. I said this before. Now I say it again: You have already accepted the Good News. Anyone who tells you another way to be saved should be condemned!

10. 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 Christ.

11. Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that the Good News message I told you was not made up by anyone.

12. 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.
