Context of Galatians 1:3

1This letter is from me, Paul. I am an apostle of Jesus Christ. It is not any group of people or any one person that has given that authority to me. It is Jesus Christ himself who has chosen me to serve him. And God our Father, who raised Jesus to become alive again after his death, has also sent me. 2All the believers who are here say ‘hello’ to you. We all send this letter to you. I am writing to you, the people of the churches that are in Galatia. I pray that God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will continue to help you. I pray that they will give you peace in your minds. 4Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice because of all the wrong things that we have done. He did that to save us from all the bad things of this world in which we live now. This is what God, our Father, wanted him to do. 5God is great and we should praise him for ever. Amen. This is true.

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
