Galatians 1:10-12
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
10 For am I now trying to win-approval-of [a] humans or God? Or am I seeking to please humans? If I were still[b] seeking to please humans, I would not be a slave of Christ! 11 For I make-known to you, brothers, as to the good-news having been announced-as-good-news by me, that it is not according-to[c] a human[d]. 12 For I neither received it from a human, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of [e] Jesus Christ.

New International Version
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people?(A) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
