Galatians 2:8 in Context — Galatians 2

6 Ceux qui sont les plus considérés-quels qu’ils aient été jadis, cela ne m’importe pas: Dieu ne fait point acception de personnes, ceux qui sont les plus considérés ne m’imposèrent rien.

7 Au contraire, voyant que l’Évangile m’avait été confié pour les incirconcis, comme à Pierre pour les circoncis,

8 car celui qui a fait de Pierre l’apôtre des circoncis a aussi fait de moi l’apôtre des païens,

9 et ayant reconnu la grâce qui m’avait été accordée, Jacques, Céphas et Jean, qui sont regardés comme des colonnes, me donnèrent, à moi et à Barnabas, la main d’association, afin que nous allassions, nous vers les païens, et eux vers les circoncis.

10 Ils nous recommandèrent seulement de nous souvenir des pauvres, ce que j’ai bien eu soin de faire.
