Context of Galatians 1:9

7Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so I say now again, If any man preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10For do I now seek the favour of men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

Commentaries on Galatians 1:9

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9Let him be accursed - Perhaps this is not designed as an imprecation, but a simple direction; for the word here may be understood as implying that such a person should, have no countenance in his bad work, but let him, as Theodoret expresses it, , be separated from the communion of the Church. This, however, would also imply that unless the person repented, the Divine judgments would soon follow.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9As we said before - That is, in the previous verse. It is equivalent to saying, “as I have just said;” see 2 Corinthians 7:3. It cannot be supposed that he had said this when he was with them, as it cannot be believed that he then anticipated that his doctrines would be perverted, and that another gospel would be preached to them. The sentiment of Galatians 1:8 is here repeated on account of its importance. It is common in the Scriptures, as indeed it is…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
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9a gospel contrary to the one you received: the gospel (the good news about Jesus) the Galatians had received was exactly what Paul had preached to them (1:8; compare 2 Thessalonians 2:15).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 99. said before--when we were visiting you (so "before" means, 2Co 13:2). Compare Ga 5:2, 3, 21. Translate, "If any man preacheth unto you any gospel BESIDE that which," &c. Observe the indicative, not the subjunctive or conditional mood, is used, "preacheth," literally, "furnisheth you with any gospel." The fact is assumed, not merely supposed as a contingency, as in Ga 1:8, "preach," or "should preach." This implies that he had already observed (namely…Read the comment
