ISB ~ Galatians 1 v4

gave himself for our sins:Anticipates the description of Christ’s act of redemption in 3:13-14. Here and elsewhere Paul emphasizes that Jesus willingly offered himself as a sacrifice for our salvation (Gal 2:20; Eph 5:2; CCC 2824).

the present evil age:Jewish theology distinguished between “this age”, which is dominated by sin and death, and the “age to come” (Mt 12:32; Eph 1:21), when peace comes to reign in the cosmos and the powers of darkness are destroyed. Through Christ, the graces of the age to come are already pouring into the lives of believers, rescuing them from sin, selfishness, and Satan.
