SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:3
Gracia sea a vosotros, y paz de Dios el Padre, y del Seor nuestro Jess, el Cristo,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Galatians 1:3
Verse 3. Grace be to you, &c.] See on Rom. i. 7.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. Grace to be you , etc..] After the inscription above, in which the writer of the epistle, and the persons joined to him, are described, and the churches to whom it is written, follows the salutation in these words, and which is common to all the epistles of this apostle; of the sense of which, (see Gill on Romans 1:7). The Alexandrian copy reads, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ; and the Ethiopic version reads, our Father.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - St. Paul was an apostle of Jesus Christ; he was expressly appointed by him, consequently by God the Father, who is one with him in respect of his Divine nature, and who appointed Christ as Mediator. Grace includes God's good-will towards us, and his good work upon us; an peace, all that inward comfort, or outward prosperity, which is reall needful for us. They come from God the Father, as the Fountain, throug Jesus Christ. But observe, first grace, and then peace; there can be n true peace without grace. Christ gave himself for our sins, to make atonement for us: this the justice of God required, and to this he freely submitted. Here is to be observed the infinite greatness of the price bestowed, and then it will appear plainly, that the power of sin is so great, that it could by no means be put away except the Son of God be given for it. He that considers these things well, understand that sin is a thing the most horrible that can be expressed; whic ought to move us, and make us afraid indeed. Especially mark well the words, "for our sins." For here our weak nature starts back, and woul first be made worthy by her own works. It would bring him that is whole, and not him that has need of a physician. Not only to redeem u from the wrath of God, and the curse of the law; but also to recover u from wicked practices and customs, to which we are naturally enslaved But it is in vain for those who are not delivered from this presen evil world by the sanctification of the Spirit, to expect that they ar freed from its condemnation by the blood of Jesus.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
3. Grace to you, etc. See on 1 Thess. i. 1. He will not withhold the wish for the divine grace and peace even from those whom he is about to upbraid.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:3 {Grace to you and peace} (caris humin kai eirene). As in I Thess., II Thess., I Cor., II Cor. (already written) and in all the later Epistles save that in I and II Timothy "mercy" is added. But this customary salutation (see on 1Th 1:1) is not a perfunctory thing with Paul. He uses it here even when he has so much fault to find just as he did in I and II Corinthians.
