Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and I staid with him fifteen days.

Fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all,---If thou, who art a Jew, livest sometimes after the manner of the gentiles, and not like the Jews, why dost thou now in a manner compel the gentiles to judaize?

Brethren, (I speak after the manner of men,) no one cancelleth or addeth to a covenant which hath been ratified, though it be but the covenant of a man.

This then I say, that the law, which was given four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul the covenant, which was so long before confirmed by God unto Christ, to make void the promise.

But as then he that was born after the flesh, persecuted him who was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
