6Occasion of the Letter I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are following a different gospel–
7not that there really is another gospel, but there are some who are disturbing you and wanting to distort the gospel of Christ.
8But even if we(or an angel from heaven) should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be condemned to hell!
9As we have said before, and now I say again, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be condemned to hell!
10Am I now trying to gain the approval of people, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ!
11Paul’s Vindication of His Apostleship Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.
3But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery, your minds may be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, people who do not confess Jesus as Christ coming in the flesh. This person is the deceiver and the antichrist!
8Watch out, so that you do not lose the things we have worked for, but receive a full reward.
9Everyone who goes on ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in this teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house and do not give him any greeting,
11because the person who gives him a greeting shares in his evil deeds.
5For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake.
5For I consider myself not at all inferior to those“super-apostles.”
14and though my physical condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as though I were an angel of God, as though I were Christ Jesus himself!
15Where then is your sense of happiness now? For I testify about you that if it were possible, you would have pulled out your eyes and given them to me!
43I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
3If someone spreads false teachings and does not agree with sound words(that is, those of our Lord Jesus Christ) and with the teaching that accords with godliness,
20For you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone behaves arrogantly toward you, if someone strikes you in the face.
1Christ’s Resurrection Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand,
2and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you– unless you believed in vain.
20And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person’s foundation,
13For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
4Now this matter arose because of the false brothers with false pretenses who slipped in unnoticed to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, to make us slaves.
5in that our gospel did not come to you merely in words, but in power and in the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction(surely you recall the character we displayed when we came among you to help you).
6And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, when you received the message with joy that comes from the Holy Spirit, despite great affliction.

11If we sowed spiritual blessings among you, is it too much to reap material things from you?
12If others receive this right from you, are we not more deserving?But we have not made use of this right. Instead we endure everything so that we may not be a hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
6I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn“not to go beyond what is written,” so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.
7For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?
16so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person’s area.
11Whether then it was I or they, this is the way we preach and this is the way you believed.
10Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to the deeds he is doing– the bringing of unjustified charges against us with evil words! And not being content with that, he not only refuses to welcome the brothers himself, but hinders the people who want to do so and throws them out of the church!
8This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you!
3but every spirit that refuses to confess Jesus, that spirit is not from God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now is already in the world.
4I say this so that no one will deceive you through arguments that sound reasonable.
7Exhortation to Mutual Acceptance Receive one another, then, just as Christ also received you, to God’s glory.
4So they are astonished when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you.
13For how were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this injustice!
16Paul’s Sufferings for Christ I say again, let no one think that I am a fool. But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

2For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
2Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have exploited no one.

13For we do not write you anything other than what you can read and also understand. But I hope that you will understand completely
2not to be easily shaken from your composure or disturbed by any kind of spirit or message or letter allegedly from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here.
14For you became imitators, brothers and sisters, of God’s churches in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, because you too suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they in fact did from the Jews,
20so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and so that he may send the Messiah appointed for you– that is, Jesus.
