Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Another, [ allo (G243)] - a distinct Greek word from that in Galatians 1:6. Though I called it a different gospel (Galatians 1:6), there are not many gospels: there is really but one, and no other.

But, [ ei-mee (G1508)] - only that there are some that trouble you,' etc. (Galatians 5:10; Galatians 5:12.) All I meant by the 'different gospel' was nothing but a perversion by 'some' of the one Gospel. Would pervert - Greek, 'wish to pervert.' They could not really pervert the Gospel, though they could pervert Gospel professors (cf. Galatians 4:9; Galatians 4:17; Galatians 4:21; Galatians 6:12; Colossians 2:18). Though acknowledging Christ, they insisted on circumcision and Jewish ordinances, and professed to rest on the authority of other apostles. Paul recognizes none, except the pure Gospel.
