Galatians 2:5 Douay-Rheims

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

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

The knowledge of their efforts made the apostle more unyielding. The struc- ture of the sentence is somewhat embarrassed. "Observe," says St. Chrysostom, "the sublimity and force of the expression: for he did not say, in word, but in subjection, for they did not act with a view to teach anything useful, but in order to subject and to enslave."
