OET (OET-RV) which is not at all another good message, but rather comes from those who are confusing you and wanting to alter the actual good message about the messiah.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἄλλο
another_‹one›
Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [another gospel]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
εἰ μή τινές εἰσιν οἱ ταράσσοντες ὑμᾶς, καὶ θέλοντες μεταστρέψαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ
except ¬not/lest some are who disturbing you_all and wanting /to/_alter the gospel ˱of˲_the Messiah
If, in your language, the use of the word except makes it appear as though Paul is making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: [but certain people are causing you trouble and want to pervert the gospel of Christ]
τινές & οἱ
some & who
Alternate translation: [certain people]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ταράσσοντες ὑμᾶς
disturbing you_all
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of trouble, you could express the same idea with a verbal form such as “troubling,” or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [troubling you]
μεταστρέψαι
/to/_alter
Alternate translation: [to twist the truth of] or [to change]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ
the gospel ˱of˲_the Messiah
Paul could be using the possessive form here to: (1) describe the gospel that is about Christ, in which case the possessive form is being used to describe the content of the gospel. Alternate translation: [the gospel about Christ] (2) designate Christ as the one who proclaimed the gospel message to which he is referring, in which case Paul is referring to the gospel message that Christ preached. Alternate translation: [the gospel that Christ proclaimed] or [the gospel that Christ preached]
1:7 The “different way” (1:6) was a distortion, not the Good News of salvation at all. The only way to be saved is by faith in Christ. Adding any requirements makes the message no longer the Good News.
• those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ: The Judaizers knew they were changing the Good News to fit their views.
OET (OET-LV) which is not another one, except not/lest some are who disturbing you_all, and wanting to_alter the good_message of_the chosen_one/messiah.
OET (OET-RV) which is not at all another good message, but rather comes from those who are confusing you and wanting to alter the actual good message about the messiah.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
