παυλος αποστολος ουκ απ ανθρωπων ουδε δι ανθρωπου αλλα δια ιησου χριστου και θεου πατρος του εγειραντος αυτον εκ νεκρων [gnt]
1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: [kjv]
και οι συν εμοι παντες αδελφοι ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας [gnt]
Paul includes God the "
Father" and "

The ancient Greek prefix
"συσ" ≈ "together, with" and appears in many words and can appear as
"συν" ≈ "together". The introduction to Galatians, in verse 1:2, uses this word. The Galatians need to be "
together" and be together in the right way.
Paul will show many places where they are not "
with" him or "
together" with him.
Galatians 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, [kjv]
χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου [gnt]
Galatians 1:4 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: [kjv]
του δοντος εαυτον υπερ των αμαρτιων ημων οπως εξεληται ημας εκ του αιωνος του ενεστωτος πονηρου κατα το θελημα του θεου και πατρος ημων [gnt]
Galatians 1:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. [kjv]
ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην [gnt]
The hymn "
To God be the Glory" was written in 1875 by Fanny Crosby and is based on Galations 1:4-5.
