No Other Gospel

⁶ I am astonished that you are ^(A)so quickly deserting ^(B)him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to ^(C)a different gospel— ^7 (D)not that there is another one, but ^(E)there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or ^(F)an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ^(G)let him be accursed. ⁹ As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, ^(H)let him be accursed.

¹⁰ For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying ^(I)to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a ^(J)servant^[a] of Christ.

Final Warning and Benediction

¹¹ See with what large letters I am writing to you ^(A)with my own hand. ^12 (B)It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh ^(C)who would force you to be circumcised, and only ^(D)in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ But far be it from me to boast ^(E)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which^[a] the world ^(F)has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For ^(G)neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but ^(H)a new creation. ¹⁶ And as for all who walk by this rule, ^(I)peace and mercy be upon them, and upon ^(J)the Israel of God.
