Paul could hardly believe what the Christians in Galatia had done. He had told them the truth about Jesus Christ. They had understood about Jesus’ death and what it meant. But then they did not continue to follow the truth. Paul was rather severe with the Galatians. ‘Foolish’ refers to someone who is not wise. It means that someone is not thinking properly. The *good news about Jesus makes people free. It shows people how kind God is to them. If the Galatians had been thinking properly, they would not have believed the false teachers. Paul thought that the false teachers must have persuaded the Christians in Galatia in a powerful way. Paul probably did not mean actual magic. But the effect on the Galatians seemed as powerful as magic. So Paul reminded them again about the truth.
