Commentaries on Galatians 1:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Grace be to you, etc. - See on Romans 1:7; (note).Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3Grace be unto you … - This is the usual apostolic salutation, imploring for them the blessing of God. See it fully explained in the notes at Romans 1:7.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3Grace and peace to you from God: This is a common greeting by Paul (see also study note on 1 Corinthians 1:3). It combines Greek and Hebrew greetings. "Grace" (Greek charis) is similar to "greetings" (Greek chairein). "Peace" reflects Hebrew shalom. Paul included both Jewish and non-Jewish Christians (compare Galatians 3:28). The Galatians risked losing God's grace and peace (3:1–4; 5:1–4).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33. from ... from--Omit the second "from." The Greek joins God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ in closet union, by there being but the one preposition.Read the comment
