Charles Spurgeon Commentary Galatians 2:5

"to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you." — Galatians 2:5 (ASV)

It is impossible for us to estimate how much we owe to the apostle Paul. Of all who have ever lived, we who are Gentiles owe more to him than to any other man.

See how he fought our battles for us. When our Jewish brethren would have excluded us because we were not of the seed of Abraham according to the flesh, how bravely did he contend that if we were partakers of the same faith, Abraham is the father of all the faithful, and that he was loved by God and the covenant was made with him (not in circumcision, but before he was circumcised), and that we are partakers of that covenant.
