Do I need to mention that Paul does not try to hide his frustration with the Galatians?To our ears, his language--"foolish" and "Who has bewitched you?" sounds offensive- later on he will say, if they’ve truly taken this wrong path,“You are severed from Christ . . . you have fallen away from grace” (Gal. 5:4)• he doesn’t mince words, because he’s terrified for their sake◦ he wants to make the strongest possible impression on them• and this is just the beginning- we’re going to spend some time in verse 1• first, because the truth in it is so rich and enlightening• second, because here Paul constructs a foundation for everything else
