Galatians 2:2
2:2 I went there
because of
a revelation and presented
to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so
only in a private meeting with the influential people,
to make sure that I was not running – or had not run
– in vain.
Galatians 2:6
2:6 But from those who were influential (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people) – those influential leaders added nothing to my message.
Galatians 2:12-14
2:12 Until
certain people came from James, he had been eating with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he stopped doing this
and separated himself
because he was afraid of those who were pro-circumcision.
2:13 And the rest of the Jews also joined with him in this hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led astray with them
by their hypocrisy.
2:14 But when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas
in front of them all, “If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to force
the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
