22 To the churches of Christ in Judea I was not known personally,

23 but they only heard that he who persecuted them was now preaching the gospel of the faith, which he had formerly destroyed, 24 and they glorified God for me.

1 And after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

2 And I went about the revelation, and there I set before the most illustrious, the gospel which I preached to the Gentiles, whether I did not strive in vain, or whether I had struggled.

3 But they did not compel Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, to be circumcised,

4 but to the false brethren who crept in, who came secretly to spy on our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, to enslave us,

5 We have not yielded or submitted for an hour, that the truth of the gospel may be preserved among you.

7 On the contrary, when he saw that the gospel was entrusted to me for the uncircumcised, as to Peter for the circumcision,

9 And when they had learned of the grace which had been given me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed pillars, gave me and Barnabas the hand of fellowship, that we might go to the Gentiles, and them to the circumcised,

10 Only that we may remember the poor, which I have tried to do exactly.

11 And when Peter came to Antioch, I personally opposed him, because he was reproached.

12 For before the arrival of some from Jacob, he ate with the Gentiles; and when they came, he hid himself and withdrew himself, fearing the circumcised.

13 And the rest of the Jews were hypocrites with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

14 But when I saw that they were not walking upright in the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of all, "If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, why do you compel the Gentiles to live like the Jews?"

15 We are Jews by nature, and not of the Gentiles, sinners;
