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

¹ Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus; ² and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run; ³ but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised -- ⁴ and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage, ⁵ to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

⁶ And from those who were esteemed to be something -- whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me -- the face of man God accepteth not, for -- to me those esteemed did add nothing, ⁷ but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision, ⁸ for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations, ⁹ and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go, ¹⁰ only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent -- this very thing -- to do.
