Galatians 2:3-9

3YetG235 not evenG3761 TitusG5103, whoG3588 was withG4862 meG1473, was compelledG315 to be circumcisedG4059, even though he wasG1510 a GreekG1672.

4This issue arose becauseG1223 some false brothersG5569 had come inG3922 under false pretensesG3920 to spy onG2684 ourG1473 freedomG1657 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, in orderG2443 to enslaveG2615 usG1473. 5We did not give inG1502G3588G5292 toG3739 them forG4314 a momentG3761G5610, so thatG2443 theG3588 truthG225 of theG3588 gospelG2098 would remainG1265 withG4314 youG4771.

6ButG1161 as forG575 theG3588 highly esteemedG1380G1510G5100—whateverG3697 they wereG1510G4218 makes no differenceG3762G1308 to meG1473; GodG2316 does not show favoritismG3756G2983G4383G3588G4441—thoseG3588 leadersG1380 addedG4323 nothingG3762 to meG1473. 7On the contraryG235G5121, they sawG3708 thatG3754 I had been entrustedG4100 to preach theG3588 gospelG2098 to theG3588 uncircumcisedG203, just asG2531 PeterG4074 had been to theG3588 circumcisedG4061. 8ForG1063 theG3588 One who was at workG1754 in Peter’sG4074G1519 apostleshipG651 to theG3588 circumcisedG4061 was also at workG1754G2532 in myG1473 apostleship toG1519 theG3588 GentilesG1484.

9AndG2532 recognizingG1097 theG3588 graceG5485 that IG1473 had been givenG1325, JamesG2385, CephasG2786,2 andG2532 JohnG2491—thoseG3588 reputedG1380 to beG1510 pillarsG4769—gaveG1325 meG1473 andG2532 BarnabasG921 the right handG1188 of fellowshipG2842, so thatG2443 weG1473 should go toG1519 theG3588 GentilesG1484, andG1161 theyG846 toG1519 theG3588 circumcisedG4061.
