15 But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased 16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult withiflesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus. |
18 Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem tojbecome acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But I did not see any other of the apostles exceptkJames, the Lord’s brother. 20 (Now in what I am writing to you,lI assure you before God that I am not lying.) 21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 I was still unknown bymsight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ; 23 but only, they kept hearing, “He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they were glorifying Godnbecause of me. |
1 Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. 2 aIt was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. 3 But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. 4 But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. 5 But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. 6 But from those whobwere of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; Godcshows no partiality)—well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospeldto the uncircumcised, just as Peter had beeneto the circumcised 8 (for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleshipfto the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles), 9 and recognizing the grace that had been given to me,gJames and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the righthhand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 They only asked us to remember the poor—the very thing I also was eager to do. |
