In this section of the scripture, Paul is writing to many different churches and people around the area, telling them to oppose false doctrines, to live in peace, and to live by faith. Many churches are being swayed by false teachers who say the Gentiles must live by some specific rules of the Jewish law. Paul emphasizes that this is not important and that encourages them to stay strong in their faith in Jesus Christ. What a great section of the Bible. Enjoy the episode!
