Galatians 2:3-5
Living Bible
3 And they did agree; they did not even demand that Titus, my companion, should be circumcised, though he was a Gentile.
4 Even that question wouldn’t have come up except for some so-called “Christians” there—false ones, really—who came to spy on us and see what freedom we enjoyed in Christ Jesus, as to whether we obeyed the Jewish laws or not. They tried to get us all tied up in their rules, like slaves in chains. 5 But we did not listen to them for a single moment, for we did not want to confuse you into thinking that salvation can be earned by being circumcised and by obeying Jewish laws.

Galatians 2:3-5
New International Version
3 Yet not even Titus,(A) who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.(B) 4 This matter arose because some false believers(C) had infiltrated our ranks to spy on(D) the freedom(E) we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. 5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel(F) might be preserved for you.
