Scholars agree that in Gal 1,13–2,21 Paul substantiates his gospel but disagree as to his method. The three common views: that Paul defends his apostolate, that he denies accusations, and that he functions as a paradigm conflict with the text. Instead, Paul sets up two categories in 1,10 — that of seeking to please people and that of seeking to please God — and defends his gospel by means of his Damascus experience together with his subsequent life motivation.

49 PLEASING GOD PLEASING PEOPLE ? OR SUMMARY Scholars agree that in Gal 1,13â€“2,21 Paul substantiates his gospel but disagree as to his method. The three common views: that Paul defends his apostolate, that he denies accusations, and that he functions as a paradigm conflict with the text. Instead, Paul sets up two categories in 1,10 â€” that of seeking to please people and that of seeking to please God â€” and defends his gospel by means of his Damascus experience together with his subsequent life motivation.
