1:6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.
1:7 Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
