Galatians 2:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 2:1

Defending the Gospel

1 Then after fourteen years ^aI went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me.

2 And I went up¹ by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but ^aprivately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means ^bI might run, or had run, in vain.

3 Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

4 And this occurred because of ^afalse brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our ^bliberty which we have in Christ Jesus, ^cthat they might bring us into bondage),

5 to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that ^athe truth of the gospel might continue with you.
