Galatians 2:3-5

MSG

NIV

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.
4 While we were in conference we were infiltrated by spies pretending to be Christians, who slipped in to find out just how free true Christians are. Their ulterior motive was to reduce us to their brand of servitude.
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 didn't give them the time of day. We were determined to preserve the truth of the Message for you.
5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
