Galatians 2:3-9
3But not even 1Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was 2compelled to be circumcised.
4Yet it was a concern because of the 3false brothers secretly brought in, who 4had sneaked in to spy on our 5freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to 6enslave us.
5But we did not yield in subjection to them, even for an hour, so that 7the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
6But from those who 8were of considerable 9repute (what they were makes no difference to me; 10God shows no favoritism)--well, those who were of repute contributed nothing to me.
7But on the contrary, seeing that I had been 11entrusted with the 12gospel 13to the uncircumcised, just as 14Peter had been 15to the circumcised
8(for He who was at work for Peter in his 16apostleship 17to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles),
9and recognizing 18the grace that had been given to me, 1920James and 2122Cephas 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.
