Galatians 2:1-10 - Paul's Ministry Recognized By The Jerusalem Apostles
1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking also Titus; 2 and I went up by a revelation, and proposed to them the gospel which I preach to the gentiles, but privately to persons of distinction, lest I should run or had run in vain. 3 But Titus who was with me, and was a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised; 4 but on account of false brothers brought in secretly to act as spies against our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, to bring us into servitude, 5 we did not yield to them by subjection, for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 But from those of distinction, whatever they were it makes no difference to me,??od is partial to no man,??or those of distinction added nothing to me, 7 but on the contrary seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was of the circumcision,??8 for he that operated in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision, operated also in me for the gentiles,??9 and knowing the grace given me, James and Cephas and John, who were manifest pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship that we should go to the gentiles and they to the circumcision; 10 only [they wished] that we should remember the poor, which I was also forward to do.
