Verse. 9. The right hands of fellowship.
Verse. 9. The right handes of felovvship.
As if they should have said: We (O Paul) in preaching the gospel, do agree with thee in all things. Therefore in doctrine we are companions and have fellowship together therein: that is to say, we have all one doctrine,1 for we preach one gospel, one baptism, one Christ and one faith. Wherefore we can teach or enjoin thee nothing, since there is one mutual consent betwixt us in all things. For we do not teach any other or more excellent things then thou doest: but the same gifts which we have, we see to be in thee also, saving that to thee is committed the Gospel over the uncircumcision, as the Gospel over the circumcision is unto us. But we conclude here that neither uncircumcision nor circumcision ought to hinder our society and fellowship, since it is but one gospel which we both preach.
As if they should haue sayd: We (O Paule) in preaching the gospel, doe agree with thee in all things. Therefore in doctrine we are companions and haue felowship togither therin: that is to say, we haue all one doctrine,1 for we preach one gospell, one baptisme, one Christ and one faith. Wherefore we can teach or enioyne thee nothing, since there is one mutuall consent betwixt vs in all things. For we doe not teach any other or more excellent things then thou doest: but the same giftes which we haue, we see to be in thee also, sauing that to thee is committed the Gospell ouer the vncircumcision, as the Gospell ouer the circumcision is vnto vs. But we conclude here that neither vncircumcision nor circumcision ought to hinder our societie and felowship, since it is but one gospell which we both preach.
