Galatians 2:5-14
5But we did not give in to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the Good News might be preserved for you.
6But from those who seemed to be influential (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—well, those influential ones added nothing to my message.
7On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised just as Peter was for the circumcised.
8(For the same God who was at work in Peter as an emissary to the Jews, also was at work in me as an emissary to the Gentiles.)
9Realizing the favor that had been given to me, Jacob and Peter and John—who are the recognized pillars—shook hands in partnership with Barnabas and me, so that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.
10They asked only that we remember the poor—something I also was eager to do.
11But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong—
12for before certain people came from Jacob, he regularly ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and separate himself, fearing those from the circumcision.
13And the rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14But when I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter in front of everyone, “If you—being a Jew—live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
