Galatians 2:9
Compare all
7 But on the contrary, awhen they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised bhad been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter  
8 (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the acircumcised balso cworked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),  
9 and when James,1 Cephas, and John, who seemed to be apillars, perceived bthe grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, cthat we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.  
10 They desired only that we should remember the poor, athe very thing which I also was eager to do.  

No Return to the Law

11 aNow when1 Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;  
12 for before certain men came from James, ahe would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing1 those who were of the circumcision.
