Hi and in the Body of Christ , there are no Husbands or wifes as Gal 3:28 reveals as there are NEITHER Male nor Female !!
Gal 2:7 shows 2 Gospels , BUT it does not call " THE CIRCUMCISION " a Gospel in the Greek Text .
Paul's is called the Gospel of " the Un-circumcision " for the Gentiles !
Peter's is called " the Circumcision " for Jews only !!
The Greek article " the " separates the two and makes them SPECIFIC to a certain Gospel .
Gal 3:8 the Gospel was given to Abram , and NOT to Abraham , as the Greek yext has it !
Then in Rev 14:6-7 we have a Judgment Gospel , called the " everlasting Gospel !!
At this point we have 4 Gospels !!

When scriptures teach a concept, it is necessary that God communicates in terms that humans understand, ie, words that make sense in the context.
Galatians 3:28 is indeed true,
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And it says more than that there is no male nor female.
It says that there is no Jew (Judean) nor Greek ( Gentile)
It is therefore unnecessary for there to be two different gospels, but there is need for at least two different approaches to teach the same gospel
there is no reason for two different gospels
for we are one body
Ephesians 5:22-25 makes a distinction between husband and wife.
Why? because although spiritually man and woman are no different, physically and mentally they are different. I think we have all noticed that.
You are making my point clearer, thank you.
You could in fact dilineate it further and say that there is a gospel for each and unique individual, for God works with individuals Philippians 2:13
Yet the goal is the same. I Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
To come to your individual version of the truth?
No, to come to a knowledge, one of many?
nope, to come to THE knowledge of the truth.
The entire word of God is one gospel, and it is indeed many faceted, yet it is one word of God, not three hundred or just two or four, or whatever number of divisions you wish to make
The entire word of God is good news for it is God's word.
In spite of the errors and sins that it forewarns against, it is more than just commandments, every commandment is also a promise that we can do what we are commanded to do, and that is very, very, very good news
