(15)But when it pleased God, who set me apart from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace, (16)to reveal his Son in me, that I should make known the glad news of him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood; (17)neither went up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but went away[1:17] into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. (18)Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. (19)But no other of the apostles did I see, save James, the brother of the Lord. (20)Now as to the things which I write to you, behold before God, I lie not. (21)Afterward, I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; (22)and was unknown by face to the churches of Juda which were in Christ; (23)but they were only hearing, that he who was once our persecutor now preaches the faith which once he was destroying; (24)and they glorified God in me. II. THEN, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking also Titus with me. (2)And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles; but privately, to those of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run in vain. (3)But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised; (4)and that because of the false brethren stealthily brought in, who crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage; (5)to whom not even for an hour did we yield by the [required] submission, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. (6)But from those reputed to be something,--whatever they were[2:6], it matters not to me, God accepts not man's person,--for to me those of reputation communicated nothing in addition. (7)But, on the contrary, seeing that I have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision; (8)(for he who wrought for Peter in behalf of the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought also for me in behalf of the Gentiles;) (9)and having learned the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas right hands of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision; (10)only, that we should remember the poor, which very thing also I was forward to do.
