{If we} (ean h(886d)eis). Condition of third class (ean and
aorist middle subjunctive euaggelis(8874)ai). Suppose I (literary
plural) should turn renegade and preach "other than" (par' ho),
"contrary to that which we preached." Preachers have turned away
from Christ, alas, and preached "humanism" or some other
new-fangled notion. The Jews termed Paul a renegade for leaving
Judaism for Christianity. But it was before Paul had seen Christ
that he clung to the law. Paul is dogmatic and positive here, for
he knows that he is standing upon solid ground, the fact of
Christ dying for us and rising again. He had seen the Risen Jesus
Christ. No angel can change Paul now. {Let him be anathema}
(anathema est(935c)). See on 气Co 12:3| for this word.
