Galatians contains an average number of minor variants, but on the whole there are no serious doubts about the text of this letter, as is shown by the fact that in UBS3 there are only five passages graded D. There is some confusion between the Aramaic name Cephas and the Greek name Peter in Gal. 1:18; 2:9, 11, 14, but in each case there seems to be nothing more than the substitution of the better-known Greek name for the unfamiliar Aramaic form. It is not certain whether we should add "of Christ” after "grace” in 1:6 or whether the subject "God” should be read before the verb "was pleased” in 1:15, but the sense is not greatly affected by these and similar variants. We have this letter substantially as Paul wrote it.
