Distortion of the Gospel

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting (A)Him who called you [a]by the grace of Christ, for a (B)different gospel, which is not just another account; but 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 preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be [b](E)accursed! As we (F)have said before, even now I say again: (G)if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be [c](H)accursed!

10 For am I now (I)seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a (J)bond-servant of Christ.

Are You Turning Away From The Gospel I Received Through a Revelation From Christ?

I am marveling that you are so quickly[a] turning-away from the One having called you by the grace of Christ to a different good-news— which is not another[b] [good news]— except there are some disturbing you and intending[c] to change[d] the good-news of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should[e] announce-a-good-news to you other-than[f] what we announced-as-good-news to you, let him be accursed[g]. As we have said-before I am also now saying again— if anyone is[h] announcing-a-good-news-to you other-than what you received, let him be accursed. 10 For am I now trying to win-approval-of [i] humans or God? Or am I seeking to please humans? If I were still[j] seeking to please humans, I would not be a slave of Christ!
