Galatians 2 is the story of how all of the love, and unity in the world depended on one man not compromising in a matter that seemed small and unessential. It is strange and unnoticed but true that all of the Apostle Paul's virtues would have meant nothing without a stubborn, uncompromising, even partisan zeal that seems more fitting, in our minds, for Saul than Paul.
