Galatians 1:7-10
New Living Translation
7 but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.
8 Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. 9 I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.
10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion(A) and are trying to pervert(B) the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,(C) let them be under God’s curse!(D) 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,(E) 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?(F) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

11 Dear brothers and sisters,[a] if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised—as some say I do—why am I still being persecuted?
