Galatians 2:1-3
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Fourteen Years Later The Jerusalem Apostles Added Nothing To My Gospel
2 Then after fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having also taken along Titus with me. 2 And I went up based-on[a] a revelation, and laid-before them the good-news which I am proclaiming among the Gentiles— but privately, to the ones having-the-reputation-of [b] being something— that somehow[c] I might not be running, or have run, in vain[d]. 3 But not even Titus, the one with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

New International Version
Paul Accepted by the Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem,(A) this time with Barnabas.(B) I took Titus(C) along also. 2 I went in response to a revelation(D) and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles.(E) I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race(F) in vain. 3 Yet not even Titus,(G) who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.(H)
