The verse literally translates to "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus". [2] David Scholer, New Testament scholar at Fuller Theological Seminary, believes that the passage is "the fundamental Pauline theological basis for the inclusion of women and men as equal and mutual partners in all of the ministries of the church."
Man with a full back tattoo of Michael and the Dragon adapted from the bible engravings by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld Some Christians take issue with tattooing, upholding the Hebrew prohibition.

On 18 January 2010, ABC News reported Trijicon was placing references to verses in the Bible in the serial numbers of sights sold to the United States Armed Forces. [1] The "book chapter:verse" cites were appended to the model designation, and the majority of the cited verses are associated with light in darkness, referencing Trijicon's specialization in illuminated optics and night sights.
