Salutation and Apostolic Authority

Galatians 1:1-5

Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:

to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
