Context of Galatians 1:6
4who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; 5to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen. I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel, 7which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ. 8But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.

Commentaries on Galatians 1:6
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6I marvel that ye are so soon removed - It was a matter of wonder to the apostle that a people, so soundly converted to God, should have so soon made shipwreck of their faith. But mutability itself has not a more apt subject to work upon than the human heart; the alternate workings of different passions are continually either changing the character, or giving it a different colouring. Reason, not passion, the word of God, not the sayings of men, should…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6I marvel - I wonder. It is remarked by Luther (his commentary at the place) that Paul uses as mild a word as possible here. He does not employ the language of severe reproof, but he expresses his astonishment that the thing should have occurred. He was deeply affected and amazed, that such a thing could have happened. They had cordially embraced the gospel; they had manifested the tenderest attachment for him; they had given themselves to God, and yet in…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-9Verses 6-9 Those who would establish any other way to heaven than what the gospel of Christ reveals, will find themselves wretchedly mistaken. The apostle presses upon the Galatians a due sense of their guilt in forsaking the gospel way of justification; yet he reproves with tenderness, and represents them as drawn into it by the arts of some that troubled them. In reproving others, we should be faithful, and yet endeavour to restore them in the spirit of…Read the comment

God called them to himself through Christ's loving mercy, not through the law (2:16). the One who called you: See 1:15; Romans 8:30; 9:24; 11:29. a different gospel: Some people taught that non-Jewish Christians had to be circumcised to join God's family. Paul rejected any requirement other than faith in Jesus…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 66. Without the usual expressions of thanksgiving for their faith, &c., he vehemently plunges into his subject, zealous for "the glory" of God (Ga 1:5), which was being disparaged by the Galatians falling away from the pure Gospel of the "grace" of God. I marvel--implying that he had hoped better things from them, whence his sorrowful surprise at their turning out so different from his expectations. so soon--after my last visit; when I hoped and thought…Read the comment
