What is the best description of the relationship between the expansion of the universe and the redshift of light from galaxies?

As the universe expands, the space that light travels through stretches, increasing the light’s wavelength. A longer wavelength is shifted toward the red end of the spectrum, so the expansion of the universe causes galaxies’ light to be redshifted. Redshift is evidence of expansion, not what causes the universe to expand.
