Salutation and Apostolic Authority

Galatians 1:1-5

Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—

and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:

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

who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
