Notes
Paul prayed at the end of this letter just as he did at the start (1:3–4). The Galatians needed the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to be with their spirit more than they needed the law.
Paul picked up the writing tool from his amanuensis (secretary) and wrote a postscript himself. He did this to prove the letter was truly his and to make a final appeal.
