Galatians 2:3-9

3But not evenG3761 1TitusG5103, whoG3588 was with me, though he was a GreekG1672, was 2compelledG315 to be circumcisedG4059.

4But it was becauseG1223 of the 3falseG5569 brethrenG5569 secretlyG3920 broughtG3920 in, who 4had sneakedG3920 in to spyG2684 out our 5libertyG1657 whichG3739 we haveG2192 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, in orderG2443 to 6bringG2615 us into bondageG2615.

5But we did not yieldG1502 in subjectionG5292 to them for evenG3761 an hourG5610, soG2443 that 7the truthG225 of the gospelG2098 would remainG1265 with you.

6But from thoseG3588 who 8were of highG5100 9reputationG1380 (whatG3697 they were makesG1308 noG3762 differenceG1308 to me; 10GodG2316 11showsG2983 noG3756 partialityG4383)--wellG1063, thoseG3588 who were of reputationG1380 contributedG4323 nothingG3762 to me.

7But on the contraryG5121, seeingG3708 that I had been 12entrustedG4100 with the 13gospelG2098 14to the uncircumcisedG203, justG2531 as 15PeterG4074 had been 16to the circumcisedG4061

8(for He who effectuallyG1754 workedG1754 for PeterG4074 in his 17apostleshipG651 18to the circumcisedG4061 effectuallyG1754 workedG1754 for me alsoG2532 to the GentilesG1484),

9and recognizingG1097 19the graceG5485 that had been givenG1325 to me, 2021JamesG2385 and 22CephasG2786 and JohnG2491, who were 23reputedG1380 to be 24pillarsG4769, gaveG1325 to me and 25BarnabasG921 the 26rightG1188 27handG1188 of fellowshipG2842, soG2443 that we might 28go to the GentilesG1484 and they to the circumcisedG4061.
