Martin Luther on Paul as Pastor in Galatians

I’ve just finished the first day at the Paul as Pastor conference at Ridley Melbourne where I gave a paper on “Paul as Pastor in Galatians.” I came across this nice quote from Martin Luther on Gal 4:19-20:

Look how much the apostle loves the Galatians … how he suffers for them, labors for them, worries about them. What a model for the Christian pastor!
