Paul was correcting wrong thinking that had quickly developed in the congregations of Galatia(Galatians 1:6). Certain Jews were trying to teach that circumcision (and other facets of the Law) were still required among Christians and Paul was reprimanding congregation members for being influenced by their false teachings(Galatians 2:15-3:14; 4:9+10) These ' false brothers', called 'Judaizers', were sly and concerned with their own interests (Acts 15:1/Galatians 2:4). Pretending to represent the congregation in Jerusalem, they discredited Paul and wanted the Christians to get circumcised(Galatians 4:17), to try and stop Jewish persecution of Christians. Paul wrote to the Galatians to remind them that they were no longer under the Mosaic Law(Galatians 2:15-21)(Galatians 1:6-9/Galatians 5:1-12/Galatians 6:12-16), but that they were acceptable to God because of their FAITH in the good news about Jesus (Galatians 3:1-5)(Galatians 4:1-7), and that the 'true sons of Abraham' were those with FAITH like Abraham's (Galatians 3:6-9+26-29).

What feature makes scholars believe Ephesians was a circular letter?
First of all, many passages in Ephesians seem to be directly copied from the presumably somewhat earlier Colossians.Ephesians is supposedly addressed to a community of only Gentile Christians, but some scholars doubt whether such a community existed in Pauline times, or even by the eighties, when Ephesians was written.The oldest and best manuscripts of Ephesians do not have the address to the Ephesians. The opening address to the Ephesians is probably a late addition.Apart from the the opening address, the epistle reads like an encyclical, not a letter to an individual community.
