Galatians 1:6-10
New American Standard Bible
Distortion of the Gospel
6 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, 7 which is not just another account; but there are some who are (C)disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or (D)an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be [b](E)accursed! 9 As we (F)have said before, even now I say again: (G)if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be [c](H)accursed!
10 For am I now (I)seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a (J)bond-servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:6-10
American Standard Version
6 I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different [a]gospel; 7 [b]which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the [c]gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should [d]preach [e]unto you any gospel [f]other than that which we [g]preached unto you, let him be anathema. 9 As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man [h]preacheth unto you any gospel [i]other than that which ye received, let him be anathema. 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a [j]servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:6-10
New International Version
No Other Gospel
6 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)— 7 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. 8 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) 9 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.
