Galatians 2:1-10

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Fourteen Years Later The Jerusalem Apostles Added Nothing To My Gospel

2 Then after fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having also taken along Titus with me. ² And I went up based-on^[a] a revelation, and laid-before them the good-news which I am proclaiming among the Gentiles— but privately, to the ones having-the-reputation-of ^[b] being something— that somehow^[c] I might not be running, or have run, in vain^[d]. ³ But not even Titus, the one with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. ⁴ Now^[e] this arose^[f] because of the false-brothers secretly-brought-in, who sneaked-in to spy-out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus in order that they might enslave^[g] us— ⁵ to whom we yielded in submission not-even for an hour, in order that the truth of the good-news might continue^[h] with you. ⁶ And from the ones having-the-reputation-of being something— of-what-sort they ever^[i] were makes no difference to me; God does not receive the face^[j] of a human— indeed to me the ones having-the-reputation communicated nothing. ⁷ But on-the-contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted the good-news for the uncircumcised just as Peter for the circumcised— ⁸ for the One having worked^[k] in Peter for an apostleship of the circumcised worked also in me for the Gentiles— ⁹ and having recognized the grace having been given to me, James and Cephas and John, the ones having-the-reputation-of being pillars, gave the right hands of fellowship to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. ¹⁰ They asked only that we should be remembering^[l] the poor— as to which, I also was eager to do this very thing.
