Hi and here is why Gal 3:28 is IMPORTANT verses in Paul's letters !!
#1 The CONTEXT of Galatians is ONLY speaking to the Body of Christ and NOT to those under the Law or Apostles !!
#2 , Gal 3:28 says their IS NEITHER /ENI Jews " In Christ " and that is in the CONTINUOUS PRESENT TENSE OF THE dispensation of the Grace of God !!
#3 , In Matt 28:19 the CONTEXT and verse 16 says He is speaking to the 11 disciples and the Greek word ETHNOS has many meaning , as GENTILES , RACE , HEATHEN , JEWSIH NATION as John 11:48 where it says " Romans shall come and take away both our place and NATION, ETHNOS for it really means " Take away our Pace and Jewish Nation !!

Thanks for taking the time to explain, I appreciate it.
#1- I agree, he’s speaking to the church
#2- I agree again.
#3- This is where I have trouble. I agree ethnos is defined as you have said but the context says “all nations” not just all of one nation. We can use the bible to help determine which it is by looking at the parallel passage in Mark. There he says “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” That is every living soul not just one nation.
Also in Mark he calls it the gospel, same word Paul used in Romans 1 when he said it’s for the Jew and Greek which is every living soul.
