Distorting the Gospel

I marvel 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 proclaim to you a gospel [b]contrary to the gospel we have proclaimed to you, let him be [c](E)accursed! As we (F)have said before, so I say again now, (G)if any man is proclaiming to you a gospel [d]contrary to what you received, let him be [e](H)accursed!

10 For am I now (I)seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a (J)slave 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]
