ACC ~ Galatians 1 v2b

ADDRESSED TO THE WHOLE CHURCH OF GALATIA. CHRYSOSTOM: This fire had overtaken not one city, or two or three, but the whole Galatian people. And let me point out here his extreme irritation. He does not write “to the beloved” or “to the sanctified” but “to the churches of Galatia.” This is the act of one who is intensely displeased and showing his pain, that he addresses them not with love nor with the names of honor but only by that of the congregation. He does not even say “to the churches of God” but “to the churches of Galatia.” HOMILY ON GALATIANS 1.1-3.

WRITTEN FROM ROME. THEODORET: The epistle to the Galatians was written from Rome. The divine apostle had already seen and taught them. EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 6.18.
