Galatians 1:6-10 (KJV)

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Summary

In Galatians 1:6-10 (KJV), Paul is shocked that the Galatians are quickly turning from the true gospel of Christ’s grace to a false gospel, which he insists is not a gospel at all. He accuses some of troubling the believers by perverting Christ’s message. Paul solemnly declares that anyone, including himself or an angel, who preaches a different gospel should be accursed. He reiterates this warning for emphasis. Finally, Paul clarifies that he seeks God’s approval, not man’s, as pleasing people would disqualify him as Christ’s servant. The passage stresses the necessity of clinging to the true gospel and rejecting distortions.

O Galatians, swayed by whispers false and fleet,
You turn from grace, the truth that set you free.
A different gospel lures with cunning deceit,
No gospel true, but chains of heresy.
Astonished, Paul rebukes with fervent plea,
“Let none pervert the Christ we first proclaimed!”
Though angels preach, or men with zeal agree,
If false their word, let curse be their acclaim.
No human praise does Paul now seek to gain,
Nor bends to please the fickle heart of man.
For God alone his servant’s path sustains,
To bear the cross and spread salvation’s plan.
O hold the faith, unmoved by error’s call,
For Christ’s true gospel stands above it all.
