Galatians 2:3-14

3 But even Titus, who was with me, ^awas not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. 4 ^bYet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who ^cslipped in to spy out ^dour freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, ^eso that they might bring us into slavery— 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that ^fthe truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6 And from those ^gwho seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; ^hGod shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential ⁱadded nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been ^jentrusted with ^kthe gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John, ^lwho seemed to be ^mpillars, perceived the ⁿgrace that was given to me, they ^ogave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, ^pthe very thing I was eager to do.

Paul Opposes Peter

11 But ^qwhen Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him ^rto his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, ^she was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing ^tthe circumcision party. ^{▼▼Or fearing those of the circumcision} 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their ^vconduct was not in step with ^wthe truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas ^xbefore them all, “If you, though a Jew, ^ylive like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
