Galatians 2:4 in Context — Galatians 2

2 E, por causa de uma revelação, subi, e lhes declarei o Evangelho que prego entre os gentios. [Isso] , porém, foi em particular, com os mais influentes, para que eu eu não corresse ou tivesse corrido em vão.

3 Porém nem mesmo Tito, que estava comigo, sendo grego, foi obrigado a se circuncidar.

4 E [isso] por causa de falsos irmãos, que haviam se infiltrado, e entraram secretamente para espionar a nossa liberdade que temos em Cristo Jesus, a fim de nos tornar escravos.

5 A eles nem sequer por um momento cedemos a nos sujeitarmos, para que a verdade do Evangelho permanecesse em vós.

6 E quanto aos de maior influência (o que haviam sido antes não me importa; Deus não se interessa na aparência humana); esses, pois, que eram influentes, nada me acrescentaram.
