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 somehow 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.

4Yet it was a concern because of the 10false brothers secretly brought in, who 11had sneaked in to spy on our 12freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to 13enslave us.

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

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

7But on the contrary, seeing that I had been 18entrusted with the 19gospel 20to the uncircumcised, just as 21Peter had been 22to the circumcised

8(for He who was at work for Peter in his 23apostleship 24to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles),

9and recognizing 25the grace that had been given to me, 2627James and 2829Cephas 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.
