Galatians 2:3-9

3But not even 1Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was 2compelled to be circumcised.

4But it was because of the 3false brethren secretly brought in, who 4had sneaked in to spy out our 5liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to 6bring us into bondage.

5But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that 7the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

6But from those who 8were of high 9reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; 10God 11shows no partiality)--well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me.

7But on the contrary, seeing that I had been 12entrusted with the 13gospel 14to the uncircumcised, just as 15Peter had been 16to the circumcised

8(for He who effectually worked for Peter in his 17apostleship 18to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

9and recognizing 19the grace that had been given to me, 2021James and 22Cephas and John, who were 23reputed to be 24pillars, gave to me and 25Barnabas the 26right 27hand of fellowship, so that we might 28go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
