Contextual Overview

1 This letter is from Paul, a cowboy for Jesus. I was chosen to be a cowboy, but not by anyone here on earth. The authority I've been given came from Jesus himself and his Dad, who raised his boy up from the dead. 2All the other cowboys in my outfit send howdies as well.To the cowboys in God's outfits in Galatia: 3I hope y'all are filled with grace and peace that comes from riding for the brand. This doesn't come from what we do, it comes from God through our ride with Jesus. 4Jesus set us free from sin when he died on that cross. As hard as it is to believe, this was God's plan all along. 5And we thank him for that precious act. Thank you, God!

The Alexandrian copy reads, "from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ"; and the Ethiopic version reads, "our Father".
