From Galatians 2

1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. 2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. 3 But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. 4 Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in--who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery-- 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6 And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me.

What do you suppose are false BROTHERS?

And, isn't the phrase "those who seemed to be influential" interesting?

I'm glad that God shows no partiality.

The curtain was torn. The Holy Sprirt speaks to all who call upon the name of the Lord. We no longer need a priest to gain access to God. We no longer need a priest to interpret Scripture. We are a priesthood of believers.

Thanks be to God.
