Galatians 2:8

In Galatians 2, the apostle Paul writes to believers in Galatia to explain that they are justified by faith alone, not by works or the law. He recounts his earlier struggle with Peter over the requirement of circumcision, which he overcame by emphasizing that faith, not circumcision, is what saves. The chapter highlights the theme that true righteousness comes from faith in Christ, not from human effort.
