{"product_id":"2940148952855","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 55: Galatians","description":"THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE GALATIANS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Galatians, soon after St. Paul had preached the Gospel to them, were\u003cbr\u003eseduced by some false teachers, who had been Jews and who were for\u003cbr\u003eobliging all Christians, even those who had been Gentiles, to observe\u003cbr\u003ecircumcision and the other ceremonies of the Mosaical law. In this\u003cbr\u003eEpistle, he refutes the pernicious doctrine of those teachers and also\u003cbr\u003etheir calumny against his mission and apostleship. The subject matter of\u003cbr\u003ethis Epistle is much the same as that to the Romans. It was written at\u003cbr\u003eEphesus, about twenty-three years after our Lord's Ascension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGalatians Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe blames the Galatians for suffering themselves to be imposed upon by\u003cbr\u003enew teachers. The apostle's calling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ\u003cbr\u003eand God the Father, who raised him from the dead:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. And all the brethren who are with me: to the churches of Galatia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father and from our Lord\u003cbr\u003eJesus Christ,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this\u003cbr\u003epresent wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. To whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into\u003cbr\u003ethe grace of Christ, unto another gospel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. Which is not another: only there are some that trouble you and\u003cbr\u003ewould pervert the gospel of Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you\u003cbr\u003ebesides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a\u003cbr\u003egospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If\u003cbr\u003eI yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was\u003cbr\u003epreached by me is not according to man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. For neither did I receive it of man: nor did I learn it but by the\u003cbr\u003erevelation of Jesus Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews'\u003cbr\u003ereligion: how that, beyond measure, I persecuted the church of God and\u003cbr\u003ewasted it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. And I made progress in the Jew's religion above many of my equals\u003cbr\u003ein my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my\u003cbr\u003efathers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:15. But when it pleased him who separated me from my mother's womb and\u003cbr\u003ecalled me by his grace,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the\u003cbr\u003eGentiles: immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:17. Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me:\u003cbr\u003ebut I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:18. Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter: and I\u003cbr\u003etarried with him fifteen days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:19. But other of the apostles I saw none, saving James the brother of\u003cbr\u003ethe Lord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:20. Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie\u003cbr\u003enot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:21. Afterwards, I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:22. And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in\u003cbr\u003eChrist:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:23. But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past doth\u003cbr\u003enow preach the faith which once he impugned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:24. And they glorified God in me.","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084464341232,"sku":"2940148952855","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148952855_p0.jpg?v=1763710713","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148952855","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
