1. From Paul, an apostle.I was not chosen to be an apostle by men. I was not sent from men. It was Jesus Christ and God the Father who made me an apostle. God is the One who raised Jesus from death.
2. This letter is also from all the brothers 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 the Father wanted.
5. The glory belongs to God forever and ever. Amen.
6. A short time ago God called you to follow him. He called you by his grace that came through Christ. But now I am amazed at you! You are already turning away and believing something different than the Good News.
7. Really, there is no other Good News. But some people are confusing you and want to change the Good News of Christ.
8. We preached to you the Good News. So if we ourselves, or even an angel from heaven, preach to you something different than the Good News, he should be condemned!
