Salutation and Apostolic Authority

Galatians 1:1-5

Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead:

And all the brethren who are with me: to the churches of Galatia.

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

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:

To whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.
