An Overview of the Argument4:09
Paul presents his autobiographical argument, asserting the gospel came by revelation from Jesus Christ, not from any human source, and contrasts this with his relations to Jerusalem and Peter.

Paul contrasts works of the law with Jesus Christ faith and explains that justification in Galatians 2:16 comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not works.
