Galatians 2:1-9

1Then after an interval of fourteen years I 1went up again to Jerusalem with 2Barnabas, taking 3Titus along also.

24It was because of a 5revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the 6gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be 7running, or had run, in vain.

3But not even 8Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was 9compelled to be circumcised.

4But it was because of the 10false brethren secretly brought in, who 11had sneaked in to spy out our 12liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to 13bring us into bondage.

5But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that 14the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

6But from those who 15were of high 16reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; 17God 18shows no partiality)--well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me.

7But on the contrary, seeing that I had been 19entrusted with the 20gospel 21to the uncircumcised, just as 22Peter had been 23to the circumcised

8(for He who effectually worked for Peter in his 24apostleship 25to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

9and recognizing 26the grace that had been given to me, 2728James and 29Cephas and John, who were 30reputed to be 31pillars, gave to me and 32Barnabas the 33right 34hand of fellowship, so that we might 35go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
