Galatians:2:1-10




nsb@Galatians:2:1 @ Fourteen years later I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus with me also.

nsb@Galatians:2:2 @ I went in response to a revelation. I demonstrated to them the way I spread the good news among the people of the nations. I did this privately before them for they have a reputation. I am concerned that by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.

nsb@Galatians:2:3 @ Titus was with me and he was not persuaded to be circumcised. He is a Greek.

nsb@Galatians:2:4 @ This occurred because of the false brothers brought in secretly. They came to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus. This was so they might bring us into bondage.

nsb@Galatians:2:5 @ We did not yield to them for a moment or an hour! That way the truth of the good news might continue with you.

nsb@Galatians:2:6 @ Those who were recognized as important people did not add a single thing to my message. What sort of people they were makes no difference to me. God does not play favorites.

nsb@Galatians:2:7 @ On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the good news to people who are not circumcised. Just as Peter had been entrusted with the good news to the people who are circumcised.

nsb@Galatians:2:8 @ The one who made Peter an apostle to the Jewish people also made me an apostle to the people of the nations.

nsb@Galatians:2:9 @ When they saw the grace that was given to me, James, Cephas and John, they who were known to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship. We were to go to the nations and they were to go to the people who are circumcised.

nsb@Galatians:2:10 @ They wanted us to remember the poor. I was eager to do this very thing.
