DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Martin Luther emphasizes Paul's unwavering zeal for the Gospel,
expressing his willingness to be cursed, along with angels, rather than
see the Gospel undermined. Paul's deep conviction leads him to declare
curses on himself and others, including heavenly beings, to protect the
purity of the Gospel he preached to the Galatians, which he asserts is
the only true Gospel revealed in the Sacred Scriptures.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul's zeal for the Gospel becomes so fervent that it almost leads him
to curse angels. "I would rather that I, my brethren, yes, the angels of
heaven be anathematized than that my gospel be overthrown."

The Greek word anathema, Hebrew herem, means to accurse, execrate, to
damn. Paul first (hypothetically) curses himself. Knowing persons first
find fault with themselves in order that they may all the more earnestly
reprove others.

Paul maintains that there is no other gospel besides the one he had
preached to the Galatians. He preached, not a gospel of his own
invention, but the very same Gospel God had long ago prescribed in the
Sacred Scriptures. No wonder Paul pronounces curses upon himself and
upon others, 30upon the angels of heaven, if anyone should dare to
preach any other gospel than Christ's own.
