Galatians 1:1-5

New International Reader's Version

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 and sisters 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.
