I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

But when God, who set me apart from my motherís womb and called me by His grace, was pleased

They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

And they glorified God because of me.

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

And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
