Salutation and Apostolic Authority

Galatians 1:1-5

Paul, an apostle--not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead--

and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

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

who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.
