📚 Historical Context
Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians around 48-55 AD to confront false teachers who were insisting on adding Jewish laws to the gospel of grace. In this verse, he includes a doxology, a traditional expression of praise giving eternal glory to God, which was common in Jewish prayers and early Christian writings to affirm God's sovereignty. This sets the tone for the entire letter, emphasizing that the true gospel comes directly from God and not from human alterations.
