As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!

But when God, who from my birth set me apart and called me by His grace, was pleased

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.
