Even that question came up only because of some so-called believers there—false ones, really—who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.

Those false teachers are so eager to win your favor, but their intentions are not good. They are trying to shut you off from me so that you will pay attention only to them.

This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!

I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.
