Galatians 1:6-12

1
Galatians 16-12

• I marvel that you are turning away so soon from
  Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a
  different gospel, which is not another but there
  are some who trouble you and want to pervert the
  gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel
  from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than
  what we have preached to you, let him be
  accursed

2
Galatians 16-12

• As we have said before, so now I say again, if
  anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what
  you have received, let him be accursed. For do I
  now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please
  men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a
  bondservant of Christ. But I make known to you,
  brethren, that the gospel which was preached by
  me is not according to man

3

  Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone,
  for I always do those things that please Him.
