For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which as preached by me is not according to man. (NASB)
*I WOULD HAVE YOU KNOW, is from [GNORIZO], a strong Greek verb that means to make known with certainty, to certify. It was often used, as here, to introduce an important and emphatic statement that immediately followed. In vernacular English the phrase could be rendered,
"LET ME MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR".
"The gospel I preach," he said " is not human either in nature or in authority. I did no invent it or alter it, nor did any other MAN. Its message is completely divine in origin, without any mixture of human theories of salvation are measured and condemned.
Had Paul proclaimed A GOSPEL that was ACCORDING TO MAN, it would have been permeated by works righteousness, as is every humanly devised system of religion. Man's sinful pride is offended by the idea that only God's mercy and grace can save him from sin, and he therefore insists on having a part in his own salvation. The very fact that Paul PREACHED a message of salvation in which works play absolutely no part was itself evidence that his message was from God and NOT.....MAN.
Amen
May God bless you for Jesus sake
