Galatians 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me… I. To whom should we give it — to all who hold the truth — to all by whom God is pleased to work — to all in whom God exhibits His grace. II. How must we give it — not by forsaking our own position or encouraging them to leave theirs — but by the maintenance of brotherly esteem and love, by provoking them to love and good works. (J. Lyth.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
