There Is Only One Good News

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 but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.

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. 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.

  1. 1:6 Some manuscripts read through loving mercy.

I am astonished thaumazō that hoti you are so houtōs quickly tacheōs deserting metatithēmi the ho one who called kaleō you hymeis by en the grace charis of Christ Christos and are turning to eis a different heteros gospel euangelion not ou that hos there is eimi another allos gospel, but ei mē there are eimi some tis who ho are trying to confuse tarassō you hymeis and kai want thelō to pervert metastrephō the ho gospel euangelion of ho Christ Christos. But alla even kai if ean we hēmeis, or ē an angel angelos from ek heaven ouranos, should preach euangelizō a gospel at odds with para the one hos we already preached euangelizō to you hymeis, let him be eimi accursed anathema. As hōs we have said before, and kai now arti I say legō again palin: If ei anyone tis is preaching euangelizō to you hymeis a gospel euangelizō at odds with para the one hos you have already received paralambanō, let him be eimi accursed anathema.

10 For gar am I peithō now arti seeking the approval of peithō men anthrōpos, or ē of · ho God theos? Or ē am I trying zēteō to please areskō men anthrōpos? If ei I were areskō still eti trying to please areskō men anthrōpos, I eimi would an not ou be eimi a servant of Christ Christos.
