1. I, Paul, am writing this letter. I am an apostle. People have not sent me. No human authority has sent me. I have been sent by Jesus Christ and by God the Father. God raised Jesus from the dead.
2. All the brothers who are with me join me in writing. We are sending this letter to you, the members of the churches in Galatia.
3. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
4. Jesus gave his life for our sins. He set us free from this evil world. That was what our God and Father wanted.
5. Give glory to God for ever and ever. Amen.
6. I am amazed. You are so quickly deserting the One who chose you because of the grace that Christ has provided. You are turning to a different "good news."
