Galatians 1:8-10
J.B. Phillips New Testament
8-10 Yet I say that if I, or an angel from Heaven, were to preach to you any other Gospel than the one you have heard, may he be damned! You have heard me say it before and now I put it down in black and white—may anybody who preaches any other Gospel than the one you have already heard be a damned soul! (Does that make you think now that I am serving man’s interests or God’s? If I were trying to win human approval I should never be Christ’s servant.)

Galatians 1:8-10
New International Version
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,(A) let them be under God’s curse!(B) 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,(C) let them be under God’s curse!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people?(D) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:8-10
King James Version
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.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
