1. Greetings from Paul, an apostle. I was chosen to be an apostle, but not by any group or person here on earth. My authority came from none other than Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Jesus from death.
2. Greetings also from all those in God’s family who are with me. To the churches in Galatia:
3. I pray that God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will be good to you and give you peace.
4. Jesus gave himself for our sins to free us from this evil world we live in. This is what God our Father wanted.
5. The glory belongs to God forever and ever. Amen.
6. A short time ago God chose you to follow him. He chose you through his grace that came through Christ. But now I am amazed that you are already turning away and believing something different from the Good News we told you.
7. There is no other message that is the Good News, but some people are confusing you. They want to change the Good News about Christ.
