Verse. 10. But he that troubleth you shall bear his condemnation, whatsoever he be.
Verse. 10. But he that troubleth you shall beare his condemnation, vvhatsoeuer he be.
By this sentence Paul, as it were a judge sitting upon the judgement seat, condemneth the false apostles, calling them by a very odious name,1 troublers of the Galatians: whom they esteemed to be very godly men, and far better teachers then Paul. And withal he goeth about to terrify the Galatians with this horrible sentence: whereby he so boldly condemneth the false apostles, to the end that they should fly their false doctrine as a most dangerous plague. As if he should say: What mean ye to give ear to those pestilent fellows, which teach you not, but only trouble you. The doctrine that they deliver unto you is nothing else but a trouble unto your consciences. Wherefore how great so ever they be, they shall bear their condemnation.

And withall he goeth about to terrifie the Galathians with this horrible sentence: whereby he so boldly condemneth the false apostles, to the ende that they should flie their false doctrine as a most daungerous plague. As if he should say: What meane ye to geue eare to those pestilent felowes, which teach you not, but onely trouble you. The doctrine that they deliuer vnto you is nothing else but a trouble vnto your consciences. Wherefore how great so euer they be, they shall beare their condemnation.
