Galatians

Chapter 1

1Paul, an apostle–sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead–

2and all the brothers with me,
To the churches in Galatia:

3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,4who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,5to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Paul is quite explicit re: his commission directly from Jesus himself so as to be clear in his intention not to submit to the authority of the Jerusalem church when they contradict his divine calling. He’s essentially laying the foundation for his defense of his ministry later in the letter.
