Galatians 1:1-2 (KJV) Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
Greetings. It’s Paul and all the brethren.
I am an apostle by Jesus not men;
Called of the Father who raised up the dead.
To the churches of Galatia, this letter be read.
Galatians 1:3-5 (KJV) Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Grace be to you and peace from on high;
From Jesus the Savior who suffered and died;
This evil world over us cannot win.
To him be all glory forever. Amen

Christ is the master. For him do I toil.
I’ll please him and serve him. Yes, I will be loyal.

Galatians 1:14-16 (KJV) And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
I profited
