6. I’m amazed that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ to follow another gospel.
7. It’s not really another gospel, but certain people are confusing you and they want to change the gospel of Christ.
8. However, even if we ourselves or a heavenly angel should ever preach anything different from what we preached to you, they should be under a curse.

10. Am I trying to win over human beings or God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I wouldn’t be Christ’s slave.
11. Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that the gospel I preached isn’t human in origin.
12. I didn’t receive it or learn it from a human. It came through a revelation from Jesus Christ.
13. You heard about my previous life in Judaism, how severely I harassed God’s church and tried to destroy it.
