Galatians 2:1-3

MSG

NIV

1 Fourteen years after that first visit, Barnabas and I went up to Jerusalem and took Titus with us.
1 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2 I went to clarify with them what had been revealed to me. At that time I placed before them exactly what I was preaching to the non-Jews. I did this in private with the leaders, those held in esteem by the church, so that our concern would not become a controversial public issue, marred by ethnic tensions, exposing my years of work to denigration and endangering my present ministry.
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 Significantly, Titus, non-Jewish though he was, was not required to be circumcised.
3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
