Galatians 2:1-10 - Paul's Ministry Recognized By The Jerusalem Apostles
1 Then fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. 2 I went up by revelation, and explained to them the gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles; but severally to those of eminence, lest by any means I should run, or should have run in vain. 3 (But neither was Titus, who was with me, 4 being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised, Because of false brethren introduced unawares, who came in privily, to spy out our liberty which we have through Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5 To whom we did not yield by submission, no, not an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.)
6 And they who undoubtedly were something, (but whatsoever they were, it is no difference to me; God accepteth no man's person) they who undoubtedly were something in conference, added nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, when they saw that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision: 8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought likewise effectually in me toward the Gentiles: 9 ) And when James, and Cephas, and John, who undoubtedly were pillars, knew the grace that was given to me, they gave the right-hands of fellowships to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision: Only they desired that we would be mindful of the poor, 10 the same which I also was forward to do.
