Galatians 2:1-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Then after 14 years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.

2 I went up because of a revelation and presented to them the gospel I preach among the Gentiles-but privately to those recognized [as leaders]-so that I might not be running, or have run, in vain.

3 But not even Titus who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

4 [This issue arose] because of false brothers smuggled in, who came in secretly to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

5 But we did not yield in submission to these people for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain for you.

6 But from those recognized as important (what they really were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism)-those recognized as important added nothing to me.

New International Version NIV

1 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also.

2 I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain.

3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.

4 This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.

5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

6 As for those who were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message.
