4This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
5to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn`t show partiality to man) -- they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
7but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the gospel for the circumcision
8(for he who appointed Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision appointed me also to the Gentiles);
9and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
10They only asked us to remember the poor -- which very thing I was also zealous to do.
