SUBJECT OF THE EPISTLE STATED

6–9. Surprise at the rapidity with which they were yielding to the false teachers.

(Galatians 1:6) I wonder that you are so quickly (yielding to the temptation and) going over from God who called you in the grace that is to be found in Christ, into a second gospel, (Galatians 1:7) which gospel is nothing else than an attempt of persons to disturb your allegiance, and a desire on their part to completely reverse the gospel that Christ gave. (Galatians 1:8) But (so abhorrent is this act to me) supposing that even if I and my fellow-workers, or an angel from heaven, were to preach a gospel to you contrary to that gospel which we did preach to you, let him be accursed and separated from God. (Galatians 1:9) As I and my fellow-workers have said to you in time past, so now, at this time, I say again, if anyone does preach you a gospel contrary to that which ye once accepted at our hands, let him be accursed and separated from God.
