Galatians 2:1-5
King James Version
2 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

Galatians 2:1-5
Amplified Bible
The Council at Jerusalem
2 Then after a period of fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem, [this time] with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. 2 I went up [to Jerusalem] because of a [divine] revelation, and I put before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so in private before those of [a]reputation, for fear that I might be running or had run [the course of my ministry] in vain. 3 But [all went well, for] not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled [as some had anticipated] to be circumcised, despite the fact that he was a Greek. 4 My concern was because of the [b]false brothers [those people masquerading as Christians] who had been secretly smuggled in [to the community of believers]. They had slipped in to spy on the freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us back into bondage [under the Law of Moses]. 5 But we did not yield to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would continue to remain with you [in its purity].

Gálatas 2:1-5
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Los apóstoles respaldan a Pablo
2 Entonces, después de catorce años, subí otra vez a Jerusalén con Bernabé(A), llevando también a Tito(B). 2 Subí por causa de una revelación(C) y les presenté el evangelio(D) que predico entre los gentiles, pero lo hice en privado a los que tenían alta reputación, para asegurarme de que no corría ni[a] había corrido en vano(E). 3 Pero ni aun Tito(F), que estaba conmigo, fue obligado a circuncidarse(G), aunque era griego.
4 Y esto fue por causa de los falsos hermanos(H) introducidos secretamente, que se habían infiltrado(I) para espiar la[b] libertad que tenemos en Cristo Jesús(J), a fin de someternos a esclavitud(K), 5 a los cuales ni por un momento[c] cedimos, para no someternos, a fin de que la verdad del evangelio(L) permanezca con ustedes.
