Galatians

Galatians 2:6–7

⁶But as for the highly esteemed— whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism^a— those leaders added nothing to me. ⁷On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
