2. I went up in accord with a revelation, and I presented to them the gospel that I preach to the Gentiles—but privately to those of repute—so that I might not be running, or have run, in vain.
3. Moreover, not even Titus, who was with me, although he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised,
4. but because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, that they might enslave us—
5. to them we did not submit even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain intact for you.
6. But from those who were reputed to be important (what they once were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those of repute made me add nothing.
7. On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter to the circumcised,
8. for the one who worked in Peter for an apostolate to the circumcised worked also in me for the Gentiles,
9. and when they recognized the grace bestowed upon me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas their right hands in partnership, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
10. Only, we were to be mindful of the poor, which is the very thing I was eager to do.
11. And when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he clearly was wrong.
12. For, until some people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separated himself, because he was afraid of the circumcised.
