Galatians 1:2

Paul did not say where he was at that time. These Christians were probably helping him with his work. In other letters, he mentions the names of his helpers. Galatia is in the country that we now call Turkey. ‘*Church’ is the name for a group of Christians. It does not refer to the building where they meet. One of Paul’s helpers would have travelled to Galatia with this letter. He went to the groups of Christians who lived in the cities and towns in that region. He read this letter aloud to the people. He helped them to understand what Paul wrote. People in each group probably copied the letter. Then they could study it in the future.
