Book of Galatians - Chapter 2 - Verse 6

2:6
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

Meaning

Paul's words in this verse highlight his unwavering commitment to staying true to his teachings based on the gospel. He makes it clear that the opinions or perceived status of others hold no sway over his message, as ultimately, it is God who judges and accepts individuals based on their faith and actions, not their outward appearance or reputation. Even those who may have been esteemed in their communities or considered influential did not contribute any new insights or revelations to Paul's understanding of the gospel. This serves as a reminder to readers that true understanding and acceptance come from God alone, and not from human approval or recognition. By emphasizing the importance of God's acceptance over human favoritism, Paul reinforces the idea that faith and righteousness are what truly matter in the eyes of God.
