Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 2:5

5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no not for an hour ; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you .

To these Iudaizing Christians the Apostle did not think fit to yield one jot; not for the least time, nor in so much as one president.

Having a desire that these Gentile Churches might not be perverted. Or (as others think) to which men of Reputation we yielded not in the least: It is very probable, that Peter and Iames upon their first arguing the case, to avoid the scandal and offence of the Iews, would have had Titus circumcised: St. Paul would not yield to it, that he might preserve the Doctrine of the Gospel, which he had planted amongst the Galatians, and other Gentiles, pure, and not incumber those Churches with the Mosaical Rites: But the most, and best Interpreters rather judge the persons here mentioned, to whom Paul would not yield, to be some Judaizing Christians, rather then the persons of Reputation, mentioned ver. 2.
