Galatians 1:18-2:10
English Standard Version
18 Then (A)after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James (B)the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, (C)before God, I do not lie!) 21 (D)Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to (E)the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.
Paul Accepted by the Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. 2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those (F)who seemed influential) the gospel that (G)I proclaim among the Gentiles, (H)in order to make sure I was not running or had not (I)run in vain. 3 But even Titus, who was with me, (J)was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. 4 (K)Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who (L)slipped in to spy out (M)our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, (N)so that they might bring us into slavery— 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that (O)the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6 And from those (P)who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; (Q)God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential (R)added nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been (S)entrusted with (T)the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John, (U)who seemed to be (V)pillars, perceived the (W)grace that was given to me, they (X)gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, (Y)the very thing I was eager to do.
Galatians 1:18-2:10
King James Version
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 And they glorified God in me.
2 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
