Galatians 1:9

9 I'm repeating what we've said before: if anyone preaches something different from what you received, they should be under a curse!

Galatians 1:9 Meaning and Commentary

Galatians 1:9

As we have said before, so say I now again
Either when he first preached the Gospel among them; or rather referring to what he had just now said, which he repeats with some little alteration; as if any, men, or angels, be they of what name, figure, rank, or office whatever,

preach any other Gospel unto you, than that ye have received;
and as the apostle thought, readily, willingly, sincerely, and heartily, in the love of it; assenting to the truth, feeling the power of it, and openly professing it:

let him be accursed;
which he repeats, for the more solemn asseveration and confirmation of it; and to show that this did not drop from his lips hastily and inadvertently; nor did it proceed from any irregular passions, or was spoken by him in heat, and in an angry mood, his mind being ruffled, disturbed, and discomposed; but was said by him in the most serious and solemn manner, upon the most thoughtful and mature consideration of the affair.

Galatians 1:9 In-Context

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.
9 I'm repeating what we've said before: if anyone preaches something different from what you received, 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.
