8But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn`t be a servant of Christ.
11But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews` religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.
14I advanced in the Jews` religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
