Read Galatians.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! Gal 1:6-9
Paul's gospel was the gift of Christ crucified and resurrected. Crucified for our sins, resurrected to bring us to life. That's it. Another gospel in the case of Galatians is the gospel of working your way back to God, i.e. the gospel of salvation by works, not by grace.
