Galatians 3:28
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
The Apostle Paul is writing to believers in Galatia, a region in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), likely in the mid-1st century CE. He's emphasizing that faith in Jesus is the basis for belonging and salvation, not adherence to specific Jewish laws, like circumcision. This verse caps off an argument that all who are 'in Christ' share equally in God's promises.
