Galatians:2:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas ,
taking Titus also with [
me ];
*
and I went up according to revelation ,
and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations ,
but privately to those conspicuous [
among them ],
lest in any way I run or had run in vain ;
* (
but neither was Titus ,
who was with me ,
being a Greek ,
compelled to be circumcised ;)
*
and [
it was ]
on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously ,
who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus ,
that they might bring us into bondage ;
*
to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour ,
that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you .
*
But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat --
whatsoever they were ,
it makes no difference to me :
God does not accept man '
s person ;
for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing ;
*
but ,
on the contrary ,
seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me ,
even as to Peter that of the circumcision ,
* (
for he that wrought in Peter for [
the ]
apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles ,)
*
and recognising the grace given to me ,
James and Cephas and John ,
who were conspicuous as being pillars ,
gave to me and Barnabas [
the ]
right hands of fellowship ,
that we [
should go ]
to the nations ,
and they to the circumcision ;
*
only that we should remember the poor ,
which same thing also I was diligent to do .
