Galatians 2:4-10

4But it was because of the 1false brethren secretly brought in, who 2had sneaked in to spy out our 3liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to 4bring us into bondage. 5But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that 5the truth of the gospel would remain with you. 6But from those who 6were of high 7reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; 8God 9shows no partiality)--well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me. 7But on the contrary, seeing that I had been 10entrusted with the 11gospel 12to the uncircumcised, just as 13Peter had been 14to the circumcised 8(for He who effectually worked for Peter in his 15apostleship 16to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles), 9and recognizing 17the grace that had been given to me, 1819James and 20Cephas and John, who were 21reputed to be 22pillars, gave to me and 23Barnabas the 24right 25hand of fellowship, so that we might 26go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10They only asked us to remember the poor--27the very thing I also was eager to do.
