Editing Epistle to the Galatians (section)

=== Gender, sexuality, and modern scholarship ===
Galatians 3:28 is one of the most controversial and influential verses in Galatians. There are three different pairs that Paul uses to elaborate his ideology. The first one is "Jew or Greek", the second one is "slave or free", and the third one is "male and female",<ref name= ":7" />  Paul states that in Jesus Christ there is no longer a distinction between them. However, the meaning of this verse is not expounded upon further by Paul. In modern politics, the debate about the meaning of Galatians 3:28 is significant, as it is used by different people and scholars in order to make normative claims about sexuality, gender, and even marriage.<ref name=":6" /> The ongoing nature of this debate reveals that scholars still have not come to a unified conclusion regarding Paul's theology.
