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."
