Final Greetings

19 The churches in the province of Asia(A) send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla[a](B) greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.(C) 20 All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.(D)

21 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.(E)

22 If anyone does not love the Lord,(F) let that person be cursed!(G) Come, Lord[b]!(H)

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.(I)

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.[c]

No Other Gospel

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called(A) you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel(B) which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion(C) and are trying to pervert(D) the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,(E) let them be under God’s curse!(F) As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,(G) let them be under God’s curse!

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