Berean Standard Bible

“I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.”

Galatians 1:12

Save as image

Study note

Paul opens Galatians by defending his apostleship and the gospel he preached, because some had been saying that he merely received it from others or altered it. He says that the gospel he proclaimed is not of human origin.
