Perversion of the Gospel

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting (A)Him who called you [a]by the grace of Christ, for a (B)different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are (C)disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or (D)an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel [b]contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be [c](E)accursed! As we (F)have said before, so I say again now, (G)if any man is preaching to you a gospel [d]contrary to what you received, he is to be [e](H)accursed!

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!

If anyone (A)advocates a different doctrine and does not [a]agree with (B)sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine (C)conforming to godliness, he is (D)conceited and understands nothing; but he [b]has a morbid interest in (E)controversial questions and (F)disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, and constant friction between (G)men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who (H)suppose that [c]godliness is a means of gain.

If anyone teaches otherwise(A) and does not agree to the sound instruction(B) of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited(C) and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words(D) that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth(E) and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
