No Other Gospel

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— (D)not that there is another one, but (E)there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 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. 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.

There is No Other Gospel

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of the Messiah[a] and, instead, are following[b] a different gospel, not that another one really exists. To be sure, there are certain people who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel about the Messiah.[c] But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you[d] a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that person be condemned! What we have told you in the past I am now telling you again: If anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that person be condemned! 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of people or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be the Messiah’s[e] servant.[f]
