Omit Carl's material on TC.
I think that we should omit XRISTOU primarily on internal and
transcriptional grounds. Thus I would translate QAUMAZW OTI hOUTWS TACEWS
METATIQESQE APO TOU KALESANTOS hUMAS EN CARITI EIS hETERON EUAGGELION as "I
am amazed that you are so readily moved from the one who called you by
grace to another gospel." The translation of hOUTWS TACEWS as "so readily"
does not make it a factor in the length of time from Paul's first mission
there and the writing of the letter (the North/South question). I take TOU
KALESANTOS as refering to Christ and EN CARITI as instrumental.
It is much easier for me to explain the addition of the name than to
explain the inclusion.
