Note 5 at Gal. 1:2: In Paul's greeting he mentions "all the brethren which are with me." Although Paul is the composer of this letter he is relating the fact that he is not alone in stating the doctrinal truths set forth in this letter. There is an "amen" from many concerning what Paul shares with these Galatians.

Note 6 at Gal. 1:2: Notice that Paul used the plural "churches" in addressing the Galatians. This was a circular letter that went not to a city but rather to a Roman province. There were four major cities in this province: Pisidian Antioch (see note 1 at Acts 13:14, p. 649), Iconium (see note 3 at Acts 13:51, p. 654), Lystra (see note 4 at Acts 14:6, p. 655), and Derbe (see note 5 at Acts 14:6, p. 656).
