Galatians 2:1-5

Christian Standard Bible

Paul Defends His Gospel at Jerusalem

2 Then after fourteen years I went up again^(A) to Jerusalem with Barnabas,^(B) taking Titus^(C) along also. ² I went up according to a revelation^(D) and presented to them the gospel I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those recognized as leaders. I wanted to be sure I was not running, and had not been running, in vain. ³ But not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. ⁴ This matter arose because some false brothers^(E) had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus in order to enslave us. ⁵ But we did not give up and submit to these people for even a moment, so that the truth^(F) of the gospel would be preserved for you.
