Galatians 1:9
Compare all
7 awhich is not another; but there are some bwho trouble you and want to cpervert the gospel of Christ.  
8 But even if awe, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be1 accursed.  
9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you athan what you have received, let him be accursed.  
10 For ado I now bpersuade men, or God? Or cdo I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.  

Call to Apostleship

11 aBut I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.  
12 For aI neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came bthrough the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 1:9

said before—when we were visiting you (so "before" means, II Corinthians 13:2). Compare Galatians 5:2-3, Galatians 1:21. Translate, "If any man preacheth unto you any gospel BESIDE that which," etc. 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 Galatians 1:8, "preach," or "should preach." This implies that he had already observed (namely, during his last visit) the machinations of the Judaizing teachers: but his surprise (Galatians 1:6) now at the Galatians being misled by them, implies that they had not apparently been so then. As in Galatians 1:8 he had said, "which we preached," so here, with an augmentation of the force, "which ye received"; acknowledging that they had truly accepted it.

accursed—The opposite appears in Galatians 6:16.
