Galatians 1:9 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Let him be accursed - Perhaps this is not designed as an imprecation, but a simple direction; for the word here may be understood as implying that such a person should, have no countenance in his bad work, but let him, as Theodoret expresses it, Αλλοτριος εστω του κοινου σωματος της εκκλησιας, be separated from the communion of the Church. This, however, would also imply that unless the person repented, the Divine judgments would soon follow.
