Galatians 3:28
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Paul wrote this letter to the Christian communities in the region of Galatia (modern-day Turkey), likely in the mid-1st century CE. He was addressing a dispute about whether non-Jewish believers needed to follow Jewish law to be part of God's people. This verse is part of his argument that identity in Christ transcends traditional social and ethnic divisions.
What divisions in our communities today might this passage call us to see differently?
