Paul is defending the gospel in light of false brothers who had crept in to spy out their freedom they have in Christ. But Paul did not yield even for a moment so that the truth of the gospel would be preserved. Paul went up to Jerusalem because of a revelation and there has his gospel vindicated by the apostles. Church unity was at stake in this meeting. There is only one church, made of both Jews and Gentiles.
