SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:1–5: Paul greeted the Christians in Galatia

This section is the introduction to Paul’s letter to the Galatians. In this introduction, Paul followed the customs of that time for writing a letter. The custom was to put the writer’s name first and then write the names of the people to whom the letter was sent. After that the writer greeted them with a wish for their well-being. So, Paul began this letter with his own name in 1:1. Then in 1:2 he mentioned the people to whom he was sending the letter. In 1:3 he greeted these people with a wish for their well-being. Among Christians, this wish was often a prayer for God’s blessing.

In this section, Paul briefly introduced two main themes of his letter.

  1. It was God and Jesus who had made Paul an apostle. It was not other people who had called him to become an apostle. That gave him very high authority. This authority is one of the themes of his letter, and he discussed it more fully in chapter 2.

  2. In 1:4, Paul reminded the Galatians that we Christians are saved because Jesus died for our sins. The main theme of the whole letter to the Galatians is that we are saved by the grace of God and by believing in Jesus.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Greeting

Greetings from Paul

Paragraph 1:3–5

In this paragraph, Paul asked God to bless the Galatians. He also praised Jesus for what he has done for us.

1:3

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

Grace and peace to you: This phrase was a common greeting among Christians at that time. This greeting was like a prayer or a blessing. Paul prayed to God and asked him to bless the Galatians.

In Greek, this greeting has no verb. In some languages, it may be more natural to add a verb. (The verbs are underlined below.) For example:

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. (NLT)

I pray that God our(incl) Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will bless you(plur) with his favor. I pray that he will give you(plur) peace in your hearts.

Some languages translate the words Grace and peace as long phrases. If that is true in your language, you may want to use something shorter in this greeting. Here Paul was not actually teaching about grace and peace. So it may not be necessary to include all the elements normally associated with these terms.

Grace: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Grace refers to kindness that is shown to people freely. In this context, the word refers to God’s grace. He is kind to people because he loves them. People have not done anything to deserve his kindness.

Some other ways to translate this word are:

kindness

generous help

favor

See also grace, Meaning 1 in the Glossary.

peace: The Jewish concept of peace includes both an absence of war and a state of well-being, safety, health, and economic prosperity. All this comes from God for those who are in a relationship with him.

Some languages may have one word to describe the absence of war or conflict. These languages may have a different word to describe a general state of well-being or an inner peace of the heart. If that is the case, choose the word that describes a state of wholeness or well-being.

from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: There is a textual issue here. Different Greek texts have the pronoun our in different places.

  1. Some texts have our Father. For example:

    God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (NRSV) (BSB, NRSV, NIV, GNT, NASB, NCV, NLT, ESV)

  2. Some texts have our Lord Jesus Christ. For example:

    God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ (RSV) (RSV, NJB, NET, REB, KJV, GW, CEV, JBP)

It is recommended that you follow option (1). This is the option followed in the UBS Greek New Testament.

God our Father: In some languages, it may be more natural to translate God our Father as:

God our heavenly Father

our Father God

the Lord Jesus Christ: In the term Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus is a personal name, and Lord and Christ are both titles.

The word Lord means “master” or “one who has authority over others.” It is a title.

As mentioned in 1:1c, the title Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word “Messiah.” It is also a title.

Some other ways to translate the Lord Jesus Christ are:

the Lord Jesus the Christ

Jesus the Lord and Christ

the Master and Messiah Jesus

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-blessing

χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη

grace ˱to˲_you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: χάρις ὑμῖν καί εἰρήνη ἀπό Θεοῦ Πατρός καί Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ)

This is a common blessing that Paul often uses in the beginning of his letters. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: [May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

grace ˱to˲_you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: χάρις ὑμῖν καί εἰρήνη ἀπό Θεοῦ Πατρός καί Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of Grace and peace, you could express the idea behind the abstract nouns grace and peace with adjectives such as “gracious” and “peaceful.” Alternate translation: [May God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ be gracious to you and make you peaceful]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you

ὑμῖν

˱to˲_you_all

Here, the word you is plural and refers to the Galatians. Unless noted otherwise, all instances of “you” and “your” in this letter refer to the Galatians and are plural.

Θεοῦ Πατρὸς

God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: χάρις ὑμῖν καί εἰρήνη ἀπό Θεοῦ Πατρός καί Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ)

See how you chose to translate the phrase God the Father in [1:1](../01/01.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

Here, the word our refers to Paul, the believers in Galatia, and all believers in Jesus, and so is inclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form. In this book, unless otherwise stated, the word “our” refers to Paul, the believers in Galatia, and all believers, and is inclusive.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:3 May God . . . give you grace and peace: This typical greeting by Paul (see also study note on 1 Cor 1:3) uses elements of Greek and Hebrew greetings: “grace” (Greek charis), is similar to “greetings” (Greek chairein); “peace” mirrors Hebrew shalom. Thus Paul included both Jewish and Gentile Christians (cp. Gal 3:28). The Galatians were at risk of losing God’s grace and peace (3:1-4; 5:1-4).
