Galatians 2:3-9

3But not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.

4This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus in order to enslave us.

5But we did not give up and submit to these people for even a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would be preserved for you.

6Now from those recognized as important (what they once were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism) — they added nothing to me.

7On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter was for the circumcised,

8since the one at work in Peter for an apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in me for the Gentiles.

9When James, Cephas, and John  — those recognized as pillars  — acknowledged the grace that had been given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
