Paul says it twice: let him be accursed. So who has the right to change the gospel? Nobody. Not the man who brought it to you. Not an angel from heaven. Not anyone who comes after him.

This is the Bible study companion to Sunday's sermon. We slow down on two verses, hear what the scholars say about every move Paul makes, and find out why he hands the measuring stick to the people in the pew.

WHAT WE COVER

Why the first name on Paul's curse list is his own, and what that proves about who owns the gospel
The message judges the messenger. Received first, delivered second
Why Paul reaches for an angel from heaven, and whether the false teachers ever claimed one
Why Paul says it twice. No angry outburst, a calmly formed warning
What "accursed" (anathema) meant, and why this is the judgment of God, not church discipline
Achan, the troubler of Israel, and the Old Testament story standing behind the word
Is it unloving? The two reasons Paul felt this so strongly: the glory of Christ and the good of souls
You already have the real one. Two tests for any gospel: is it grace, and is it in the Bible?
