Galatians 2:6-10
6 유명하다는 이들 중에 (본래 어떤이들이든지 내게 상관이 없으며 하나님은 사람의 외모를 취하지 아니하시나니) 저 유명한 이들은 내게 더하여 준 것이 없고
7 도리어 내가 무할례자에게 복음 전함을 맡기를 베드로가 할례자에게 맡음과 같이 한 것을 보고
8 베드로에게 역사하사 그를 할례자의 사도로 삼으신 이가 또한 내게 역사하사 나를 이방인에게 사도로 삼으셨느니라
9 "또 내게 주신 은혜를 알므로 기둥같이 여기는 야고보와 게바와 요한도 나와 바나바에게 교제의 악수를 하였으니 이는 우리는 이방인에게로, 저희는 할례자에게로 가게 하려 함이라"
10 다만 우리에게 가난한 자들 생각하는 것을 부탁하였으니 이것을 나도 본래 힘써 행하노라 6 As for those who were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message. 7 On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised,[a] just as Peter had been to the circumcised.[b] 8 For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles. 9 James, Cephas[c] and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. 10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.

As we can see, there is no such thing as a "first-mover" advantage when it comes to spreading the gospel and to live in Him. Rather, the one who comes last could have a stronger and more zealous heart toward Christ compared to the ones who claim to have known Christ for long. We can see how Paul and Barnabas are being accepted by Peter, James and John and how all of these two groups now start with new vision and passion from start line. Although the audience might differ (Gentiles vs. Jews), at the end the objectives are the sames as both groups will be in charge of delivering and proclaiming the good news (Gospel).
