Galatians 2:4-10

4Yet it was a concern because of the 1false brothers secretly brought in, who 2had sneaked in to spy on our 3freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to 4enslave us. 5But we did not yield in subjection to them, even for an hour, so that 5the truth of the gospel would remain with you. 6But from those who 6were of considerable 7repute (what they were makes no difference to me; 8God shows no favoritism)--well, those who were of repute contributed nothing to me. 7But on the contrary, seeing that I had been 9entrusted with the 10gospel 11to the uncircumcised, just as 12Peter had been 13to the circumcised 8(for He who was at work for Peter in his 14apostleship 15to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles), 9and recognizing 16the grace that had been given to me, 1718James and 1920Cephas 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.
