‏ Galatians 2:6-10

6 Now from those recognized as important (what they really were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism ^{▼▼Or God is not a respecter of persons; lit God does not receive the face of man
,} ^b) – they added nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, ^c just as Peter ^d was for the circumcised, 8 since the One at work in Peter for an apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in me for the Gentiles. 9 When James, ^e ^{▼▼Cephas: The Aramaic word for rock; it is parallel to the Greek word petros from which the English name Peter is derived; Jn 1:42; 1 Co 1:12.}Cephas, ^g and John, ^h recognized as pillars, ⁱ acknowledged the grace that had been given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 They asked only that we would remember the poor, ^j which I made every effort to do.
