"The subject in the book of Galatians is the gospel. Gal. 1:8, 9. In the way the subject is discussed, however, it is two gospels – the true gospel as against a false one – the true gospel as against a perversion of that gospel. Verse 6, 7.

"Now the true gospel is the gospel of the true way of salvation from sin. And as the subject in Galatians is the true gospel as against a false one, therefore the subject of the book of Galatians is the true way of salvation from sin as against a false way – the true way of salvation as against a perversion of that way.

"Accordingly, we there read that when Peter and others 'walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel,' and Paul withstood Peter to the face on account of it, these are the words with which he withstood him: 'Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified... I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.'" Gal. 2:16, 21.
