¹⁹ Therefore ^(A)I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who ^(B)are turning to God,

⁹ For they themselves declare concerning us ^(A)what manner of entry we had to you, ^(B)and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

^7 (A)which is not another; but there are some ^(B)who trouble you and want to ^(C)pervert^[a] the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if ^(D)we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be ^[b]accursed. ⁹ As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you ^(E)than what you have received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰ For ^(F)do I now ^(G)persuade men, or God? Or ^(H)do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

²⁰ but ^(A)declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do ^(B)works befitting repentance.

¹¹ And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, ^(A)why do I still suffer persecution? Then ^(B)the offense of the cross has ceased. ^12 (C)I could wish that those ^(D)who trouble you would even ^[a]cut themselves off!
