Gal 1:6–10

1:6 There’s only one good message

6 I’m astounded that you people have so quickly replaced the good message that you heard from the one who called you to the messiah’s grace. You’ve replaced it with another narrative 7 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. 8 Even if either we ourselves or even a messenger from heaven were to preach a different ‘good message’ which disagrees with the good message that we first preached to you, then they should be cursed. 9 As we’ve previously said, and even now say it again: if anyone preaches a ‘good message’ to you that’s different from what you already heard, let that person be cursed.

10 Am I trying to please and persuade people or God? If I was still trying to please people, I wouldn’t be worthy to be one of the messiah’s slaves.

6 I _am _marvelling that thus quickly, you _all _are _replacing from the one having _called you _all in the_grace of_chosen _one /messiah, to another good _message,

7 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.

8 But even if we or a_messenger out _of heaven may _be _good _message _preaching you _all contrary _to what we _good _message _preached to _you _all, let_ him _be a_curse.

9 As we _have _previously _said, even now I _am _saying again, if anyone to _you _all is _good _message _preaching contrary _to what you _all _received, let_ him _be a_curse.

10 For/Because now I _am _persuading people or the god?
Or I _am _seeking to _be _bringing _pleasure to _people?
If I _was_ still _bringing _pleasure to _people, I _was not wishfully a_slave of_chosen _one /messiah.
