Context of Galatians 1:7

5to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen. 6I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel, which 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. 9As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.

Commentaries on Galatians 1:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Which is not another - It is called a gospel, but it differs most essentially from the authentic narratives published by the evangelists. It is not gospel, i.e. good tidings, for it loads you again with the burdens from which the genuine Gospel has disencumbered you.

In reproving others, we should be faithful, and yet endeavour to restore them in the spirit of…Read the comment
