Galatians 2:1-10 - Paul's Ministry Recognized By The Jerusalem Apostles

¹ Then through fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. ² And I went up by revelation. And I put before them the gospel which I proclaim in the nations, but privately to those seeming to be pillars, lest I run, or I ran, into vanity. ³ (But not even Titus, the one with me, a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.) ⁴ But because of those false brothers stealing in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus; they desiring to enslave us; ⁵ to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

⁶ But from those who seemed to be something (what kind they were then does not matter to me; God does not accept the face of man), for those seeming important conferred nothing to me. ⁷ But on the contrary, seeing that I have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter to the circumcision; ⁸ for He working in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision also worked in me to the nations. ⁹ and knowing the grace given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave right hands of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we go to the nations, but they to the circumcision. ¹⁰ Only they asked that we remember the poor, which very thing I was eager to do.
