Galatians 2:1-13 ▼

1 Then fourteene yeres after, I went vp agayne to Hierusalem with Barnabas, and toke Titus with me.

2 I went vp also by reuelation, & I declared vnto them the Gospel which I preache among the gentiles: but priuately, with them which were the chiefe, lest by any meanes, I shoulde runne or had runne in vayne.

3 But neither Titus which was with me, beyng a Greke, was compelled to be circumcised,

4 And that because of incommers, being false brethren, which came in priuily, to spye out our libertie which we haue in Christe Iesu, that they myght bryng vs into bondage.

5 To whom, no not for an houre, we gaue place by subiection, that the trueth of the Gospel might continue with you.

6 Of them which seemed to be somewhat (what they were in time passed, it maketh no matter to me, God accepteth no mans person) for they which seemed chiefe, added nothyng to me.

7 But contrary wyse, when they sawe that the Gospell of the vncircumcision was committed vnto me, as the Gospel of the circumcision was committed vnto Peter.

8 (For he that was myghtie in Peter, to the Apostleshyp of the circumcision, the same was myghtie in me towarde the gentiles)

9 When they perceaued the grace that was geuen vnto me, then Iames, Cephas, and Iohn, which seemed to be pyllers, gaue to me and Barnabas the ryght handes of felowshyppe, that we shoulde be Apostles vnto the Heathen, and they vnto the circumcision.

10 Onely that we shoulde remember the poore: Wherin also I was diligent to do the same.

11 But whe Peter was come to Antioche, I withstoode him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

12 For yer yt certaine came from Iames, he dyd eate with the gentiles: But whe they were come, he withdrue, and seperated himselfe, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

13 And the other Iewes dissembled lykewyse with hym: insomuch that Barnabas also was brought into their simulation.
