Context: Galatians 1
4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Paul writes to the Galatian church to address false teachings about circumcision and the law. He affirms that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ and not by following the law.
Commentary
Galatians 1 is a powerful letter from the Apostle Paul to the churches of Galatia. In this chapter, Paul is addressing the issue of the false teachers who have infiltrated the churches and are teaching a different gospel than the one Paul preached. He begins by affirming his apostleship, which was not from any human source, but from Jesus Christ and God the Father. He then goes on to rebuke the Galatians for turning away from the true gospel and following the false teachers. He emphasizes that the gospel he preached was not from any human source, but from God Himself. He also warns them of the consequences of following the false teachers, which is that they will be cursed. Finally, he encourages them to stand firm in the faith and to not be swayed by the false teachers.
