Galatians 1:6-10
Christian Standard Bible
No Other Gospel
6 I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called(A) you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another gospel,(B) but there are some(C) who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel(D) from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you,(E) a curse be on him![a] 9 As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received,(F) a curse be on him!
10 For am I now trying to persuade people,[b] or God?(G) Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:6-10
New Living Translation
There Is Only One Good News
6 I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ.[a] You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News 7 but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.
8 Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. 9 I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.
10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
