Galatians 1:6

4 who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
