^2 [a]It was because of a ^(A)revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the ^(B)gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that somehow I might be ^(C)running, or had run, in vain.

⁶ But from those who ^[a]were of considerable ^(A)repute (what they were makes no difference to me; ^(B)God shows no favoritism)—well, those who were of repute contributed nothing to me. ⁷ But on the contrary, seeing that I had been ^(C)entrusted with the ^(D)gospel ^[b]to the uncircumcised, just as ^(E)Peter had been ^[c]to the circumcised ⁸ (for He who was at work for Peter in his ^(F)apostleship ^[d]to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles), ⁹ and recognizing ^(G)the grace that had been given to me, ^[e](H)James and ^[f](I)Cephas and John, who were ^(J)reputed to be ^(K)pillars, gave to me and ^(L)Barnabas the ^(M)right ^[g]hand of fellowship, so that we might ^(N)go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
