Paul the Apostle quotes this verse twice in his epistles: in Romans 1: 17 and again in Galatians 3: 11.

The Galatians were still speaking the Galatian language ( Gaulish ) in the time of St. Jerome ( 347 – 420 AD ), who wrote that the Galatians of Ancyra and the Treveri of Trier ( in what is now the German Rhineland ) spoke the same language ( Comentarii in Epistolam ad Galatos, 2. 3, composed c. 387 ).

Galatians ( Book 3, Chapter 22 )

The verse Galatians 3: 28 has attracted much attention during the modern gender role debate.

( See Romans 4: 1-5, Galatians 3: 1-7, and Genesis 15: 6.

* Galatians 3: 1-3 ; 9-14 ; 21-25: " O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

* Galatians 3: 8: " The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith ..."

Thus the faithful become heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ and will inherit all things just as Christ inherits all things ( see Romans 8: 17 ; Galatians 4: 7 ; 1 Corinthians 3: 21 — 23 ; Revelation 21: 7 ).

However, the Pauline letters clearly indicate that for Paul Jesus was a real person ( born of a woman as in Gal 4. 4 ) who had disciples ( 1 Corinthians 15. 5 ) and who was crucified ( as in 1 Corinthians 2. 2 and Galatians 3. 1 ).

:* Existence of Jesus: That in Paul's view Jesus existed and was a Jew is based on Galatians 4: 4 which states that he was " born of a woman " and Romans 1: 3 that he was " born under the law ".

:* Crucifixion: The Pauline letters include several references to the crucifixion of Jesus e. g. 1 Corinthians 11. 23, 1 Corinthians 2: 2 and Galatians 3: 1 among others.

Taking the Greek word zelotes in Acts 22: 3 and Galatians 1: 14 of the New Testament to mean a ' Zealot ' with capital Z ( the earliest Greek manuscripts are uncials or all capital letters ), an article by Mark R. Fairchild suggests that Paul the Apostle may have been a Zealot, which might have been the driving force behind his persecution of the Christians ( see stoning of Saint Stephen ) before his conversion to Christianity, and his incident at Antioch even after his conversion.

Having created man in His image as a free creature with knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, God entered into a covenant of works whereby the mandate was " do this and live " ( Romans 10: 5, Galatians 3: 12 ).

The Apostle Paul writes that the promised seed refers in particular to Christ ( Galatians 3: 16 ).

" Galatians 3: 7

Galatians 3: 26 " So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

Galatians 15.

Galatians 20.

Paul's own record of the meeting appears to be Galatians 2, however, due to the differences, some argue Gal 2 is a different meeting.

It has been argued that the name " Titus " in 2 Corinthians and Galatians is nothing more than an informal name used by Timothy, implied already by the fact that even though both are said to be long-term close companions of Paul, they never appear in common scenes.

Paul wrote that Jesus was " born of a woman, born under the law " and " as to his human nature was a descendant of David " in the Epistle to the Galatians and the Epistle to the Romans.

It is quite likely, however, that the epistle of Galatians was written prior to the Jerusalem council, and that it refers to a meeting between Paul, Barnabas, and Peter, James, and John that happened earlier.

It is more likely that the epistle was written some time before the Jerusalem council, and that teachers came from Jerusalem to Antioch teaching the need for it after Paul wrote his epistle to the Galatians, churches from the first missionary journey, addressing this issue.

The Apostle Paul wrote an entire epistle, Galatians, antagonistic to the teachings of a Jewish sect that claimed adherence to the teachings of both Jesus and Moses ( cf.

Not numbered among the Twelve Apostles, unless he is identified as James the Less, James was nonetheless a very important figure: Paul described him as " the brother of the Lord " in Galatians 1: 19 and as one of the three " pillars of the Church " in 2: 9.

The Epistle to the Galatians, often shortened to Galatians, is the ninth book of the New Testament.

Biblical scholars agree that Galatians is a true example of Paul's writing.

The main arguments in favor of the authenticity of Galatians include its style and themes, which are common to the core letters of the Pauline corpus.

Paul's letter is addressed " to the churches in Galatia " ( Galatians 1: 2 ), but the location of these churches is a matter of debate.

The Galatians appear to have been receptive to the teaching of these newcomers, and the epistle is Paul's response to what he sees as their willingness to turn from his teaching.

Biblical scholars agree that Galatians was written between the late 40s and early 50s.

However there are three main theories about when Galatians was written and to whom.

In this view, the visit to Jerusalem, mentioned in Galatians 2: 1 – 10, is identical with that of Acts 15, which is spoken of as a thing of the past.

The South Galatian view holds that Paul wrote Galatians before or shortly after the First Jerusalem Council, probably on his way to it, and that it was written to churches he had presumably planted during either his time in Tarsus ( he would have traveled a short distance, since Tarsus is in Cilicia ) after his first visit to Jerusalem as a Christian, or during his first missionary journey, when he traveled throughout southern Galatia.

A third theory is that Galatians 2: 1-10 describes Paul and Barnabas ' visit to Jerusalem described in Acts 11: 30 and 12: 25.

In addition, the exclusion of any mention of the letter of Acts 15 is seen to indicate that such a letter did not yet exist, since Paul would have been likely to use it against the legalism confronted in Galatians.

Galatians also contains a catalogue of vices and virtues, a popular formulation of ancient Christian ethics.
