[1:1] From Paul, whose call to be an apostle did not come from human beings or by human means, but from Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from death.
[1:2] All the believers who are here join me in sending greetings to the churches of Galatia:
[1:3] May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
[1:4] In order to set us free from this present evil age, Christ gave himself for our sins, in obedience to the will of our God and Father.
[1:5] To God be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
