Galatians 2:10

Poverty and the vulnerableGenerosity

8 For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.

9 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.

They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

11 When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.

12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.
