1

Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.

2

And I went up by revelation and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.

3

But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was made to undergo circumcision:

4

And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us

5

To whom we gave way not even for an hour so that the true words of the good news might still be with you.

6

But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me

7

But, quite the opposite, when they saw that I had been made responsible for preaching the good news to those without circumcision, even as Peter had been for those of the circumcision

8

(Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among the Gentiles)

9

When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision

10

Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor which very thing I had much in mind to do.
