No Other Gospel

6 I am astonished that you are ^hso quickly deserting ⁱhim who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to ^ja different gospel— 7 ^knot that there is another one, but ^lthere are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or ^man angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ⁿlet him be accursed.

Philippians 3:2-3
