The epistle to the Galatians was not written about discipline, nor could it be, but to bring back the whole body of the saints in many churches to sound doctrine. But it shows that false doctrine was more terrible than the most false conduct. There is not a wish of kindness, not a salutation, not a gracious word. The apostle breaks in at once with rebuke and reproach, and closes with resentful coldness; while in 1 Corinthians where gross evil was committed and gloried in by all, he says all the good of them he can.
