Why was Paul afraid for the Galatians in Galatians 1?

Paul feared for the Galatians because they had been deluged by another gospel, which is not really another but a perverted one. He warned that anyone coming to them preaching any other gospel than what he had preached should be accursed.

Les explains that in Galatians chapter 1 Paul expresses fear for the Galatians because they had been deluged by another gospel. Les points out that Paul clarifies this is not really another gospel, but a perverted one. Paul then makes a dramatic statement: if any come unto you preaching any other gospel than what I have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Paul's concern is that the Galatians were being influenced by a corrupted message that differed from the gospel he had preached.
