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 2:9
2:9 and when James, Cephas,
and John, who had a reputation as
pillars,
recognized
the grace that had been given to me, they gave to Barnabas and me
the right hand of fellowship, agreeing
that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
