²⁷ For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.^(A)

²⁰ You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything^(A) that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.

⁴ On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel.^(A) We are not trying to please people^(B) but God, who tests our hearts.^(C)

¹¹ In him we were also chosen,^[a] having been predestined^(A) according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose^(B) of his will,

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.
