Galatians 1:1-5

No Other Gospel: Paul’s Apostolic Authority and Gospel Defense

Paul opens by grounding his apostleship in divine commission, announces Christ's self-giving rescue, condemns any rival gospel, and defends the divine origin of his message through his conversion testimony.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—

2and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:

3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
