11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
11 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.
11 Know this - I am most emphatic here, friends - this great Message I delivered to you is not mere human optimism.
11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
11 Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Galatians 1:11
Commentary on Galatians 1:10-14
(Read Galatians 1:10-14)
In preaching the gospel, the apostle sought to bring persons to the obedience, not of men, but of God. But Paul would not attempt to alter the doctrine of Christ, either to gain their favour, or to avoid their fury. In so important a matter we must not fear the frowns of men, nor seek their favour, by using words of men's wisdom. Concerning the manner wherein he received the gospel, he had it by revelation from Heaven. He was not led to Christianity, as many are, merely by education.
