Galatians 2 deals with the conflict between Paul and the Judaizers who taught that the Gentiles needed to follow the Mosaic law to be saved. In this chapter Paul defends his apostolic authority and his message of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ, not by the works of the law. He also reports his encounter with Peter in Antioch, where Peter acted hypocritically as he walked away from the Gentiles because of the pressure of the Judaizers. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Galatians 2:

Romans 3:28: "We therefore conclude that man is justified by faith, regardless of the works of the law." This verse reaffirms Paul's central message in Galatians 2 that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, not by the works of the law.

Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you are saved, through faith; and this does not come from you, it is the gift of God; not from works, so that no one can glorious." This verse also reinforces the idea that salvation is by the grace of God, received by faith, and not by the works of the law.

Acts 15:1: "Then some men who had descended from Judea taught their brothers, If you do not circumcise to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved." This verse illustrates the conflict between the Judaizers and the Gentile Christians, who believed that circumcision and obedience to the law were necessary for salvation.

Acts 15:10: "Now why do you try God, putting on the cervix of the disciples a yoke that neither our parents nor we could stand?" This verse is a declaration of Peter during the Council of Jerusalem, where he acknowledged that the Mosaic law was too heavy for the Gentiles and that they were saved by the grace of God, just like the Jews.

Colossians 2:16-17: "Therefore, no one judges you for eating, or drinking, or because of the days of feast, or the new moon, or the Saturdays, which are shadows of things that will come; but the body It is from Christ. " This verse emphasizes that the practices of the Mosaic Law, such as the days of feast and the Saturdays, were shadows of what was to come in Christ and were no longer necessary for salvation.
