2. all the brethren —I am not alone in my doctrine; all my colleagues in the Gospel work, travelling with me ( Acts 19:29 , Gaius and Aristarchus at Ephesus: Acts 19:29- : , Sopater, Secundus, Timotheus, Tychicus, Trophimus, some, or all of these), join with me. Not that these were joint authors with Paul of the Epistle: but joined him in the sentiments and salutations. The phrase, "all the brethren," accords with a date when he had many travelling companions, he and they having to bear jointly the collection to Jerusalem [CONYBEARE and HOWSON]. the churches —Pessinus and Ancyra were the principal cities; but doubtless there were many other churches in Galatia ( Acts 18:23 ; 1 Corinthians 16:1 ). He does not attach any honorable title to the churches here, as elsewhere, being displeased at their Judaizing. See First Corinthians; First Thessalonians, &c. The first Epistle of Peter is addressed to Jewish Christians sojourning in Galatia ( 1 Peter 1:1 ), among other places mentioned. It is interesting thus to find the apostle of the circumcision, as well as the apostle of the uncircumcision, once at issue ( 1 Peter 1:1- : ), co-operating to build up the same churches. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
