The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New International Version NIV
1 Then after fourteen years I again went up to Yerushalayim, this time with Bar-Nabba; and I took with me Titus.
1
Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2 I went up in obedience to a revelation, and I explained to them the Good News as I proclaim it among the Gentiles - but privately, to the acknowledged leaders. I did this out of concern that my current or previous work might have been in vain.
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 But they didn't force my Gentile companion Titus to undergo b'rit-milah.
3
Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
