Scripture focus

7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Not another. What these Judaizers preach is not the “gospel” at all, but a perversion, or counterfeit, of the gospel.

There be some. Paul does not even deign to call the Judaizers by name, but implies that they are only private individuals who represent no one but themselves and who are bent solely on the pursuit of their own interests.

Trouble. Gr. tarasso, “to agitate,” “to trouble,” “to perplex” the mind with respect to something, here, by suggesting doubts and scruples concerning the validity of the gospel as proclaimed by Paul.
