If you're not reading the same bible as the first Christians in 144 A.D. you're reading just another book. The first Christian bible is not only the foundation of faith that virtually every denomination traces its canonical roots back to - it's also the only place you'll find the gospel preached by Paul the Apostle that he specifically references numerous times: "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." (Galatians 1: 8-9)

In addition to the Gospel of the Lord you'll also read in their original, unedited form Galatians, 1st and 2nd Corinthians, Romans, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, Ephesians, Laodiceans, Colossians, Philemon and Philippians. That is the entirety of the first Christian bible as it was gathered and transcribed in 144 A.D. and as it is now. Numbered chapters and verses in standard bible format.

This special first edition includes illustrations along with a Study and Reference Guide where you'll learn about the key people and events surrounding The Very First Bible and the Marcionite Church - and the suppression of both for 2, 000 years.http://www.theveryfirstbible.org

THE APOSTOLICON
THE EPISTLES OF PAUL
GALATIANS

AS TRANSCRIBED BY MARCION

The Galatians are Greeks. They at first accepted the word of truth from the apostle, but after his departure they were tempted by false apostles to be converted to the law and circumcision. The apostle calls them back to the faith of truth, writing to them from Ephesus.

CHAPTER ONE

1 Paul, an apostle, not of men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, who raised himself from the dead;

2 Unto the churches of Galatia.

3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I marvel that ye are so quickly changed, from him that called you in the grace unto a different gospel:

5 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

6 But though we or an angel should announce to you a gospel contrary to what ye have received, let him be accursed.

7 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

8 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

9 For I neither received it of man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

10 But when He was pleased, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me unto his grace,

11 To reveal his Son in me, that I should announce him among the nations; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

12 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

13 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and abode with him fifteen days.

14 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

15 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

16 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

17 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ.

CHAPTER TWO

1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the nations.

3 But neither Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

5 Not for an hour did we yield in subjection, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

6 From those reputed to be something; whatsoever they were, not to me makes a difference. A person God does not accept. For to me they conferred nothing. But to the contrary, having seen that I was entrusted the gospel of the uncircumcision, and having perceived the grace that was given me,

7 James and Cephas and John, those reputed to be pillars, the right hands of fellowship they gave to me and Barnabas; that we should go unto the nations, but they unto the circumcision.

8 But when Cephas came unto Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

9 For before that came James, with the nations he was eating. But when he came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

10 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
