Galatians 2:1-10

Paul Accepted by the Apostles

Then after fourteen years I ^awent up again to Jerusalem with ^bBarnabas, taking ^cTitus along also. 2 And I went up ¹because of a ^arevelation, and I laid out to them the ^bgospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, lest somehow I might be ^crunning, or had run, in vain. 3 But not even ^aTitus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was ^bcompelled to be circumcised. 4 But this was because of the ^afalse brothers secretly brought in, who ^bhad sneaked in to spy out our ^cfreedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to ^denslave us. 5 But we did not yield in subjection to them for even ¹a moment, so that ^athe truth of the gospel would remain with you. 6 But from those who ¹were of high ^areputation (what they were makes no difference to me; ^bGod ²shows no partiality)—well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, seeing that I had been ^aentrusted with the ^bgospel ¹to the uncircumcised, just as ^cPeter had been ²to the circumcised 8 (for He who worked in Peter unto his ^aapostleship ¹to the circumcised worked in me also unto the Gentiles), 9 and recognizing ^athe grace that had been given to me, ^bJames and ^cCephas and ¹John, who were ^dreputed to be ^epillars, gave to me and ^fBarnabas the ^gright ²hand of fellowship, so that we might ^hgo to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only they asked us to remember the poor—^athe very thing I also was eager to do.
