1
Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.
2
I went up in response to a revelation. Then I laid before them (though only in a private meeting with the acknowledged leaders) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure that I was not running, or had not run, in vain.
3
But even Titus, who was with me, was not compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.
4
But because of false believers a secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us—
5
we did not submit to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might always remain with you.
6
And from those who were supposed to be acknowledged leaders (what they actually were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those leaders contributed nothing to me.
