Galatians
Galatians has 6 chapters. Read Galatians in the New International Version, chapter by chapter, free and without an account.
Galatians is Paul’s urgent response to pressure on Gentile believers to accept circumcision and obligations of the law. He defends his gospel and argues that belonging to Christ and receiving the promise rest on faith rather than works of the law. Freedom leads into service: believers are called to walk by the Spirit, love their neighbors, and carry one another’s burdens.
Galatians is one of Paul's letters of the New Testament, the same 27 books in every Christian Bible. See it on the shelf.
