| Summary: | In order to defend 'the gospel of Christ' against the preachers of a 'different gospel' in Galatia Paul autobiographically refers to the revelation granted to him. This revelation is the proper origin of the gospel.

As a result 'Jerusalem' gets the meaning of a 'subsidiary' criterion with regard to the validity of the gospel. Thus the koinonia with the Jerusalem authorities refers to the one gospel, that reveals its truth in granting the unity of the church to all who trust in it. |
