Galatians 2
1 Then, fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2 And I went up because of a revelation, and communicated to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who are of reputation, lest, by any means, I should run or had run in vain.
And I went up according to revelation; and communicated to them the gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles, but apart to them who seemed to be some thing: lest perhaps I should run, or had run in vain.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Gentile, was compelled to be circumcised.
4 I acted thus indeed on account of false brethren, stealthily brought in, who stole in to spy out our freedom, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,
But because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude.
5 to whom we yielded in submission, not even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.
To whom we yielded not by subjection, no not for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 But from those who were supposed to be something; (what they were is a matter of no importance to me: God does not accept the person of man; ) they, indeed, who were supposed to be something, communicated no additional truth to me;
But of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time, it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man, ) for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing.
7 but; on the other hand, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision,
But contrariwise, when they had seen that to me was committed the gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the circumcision.
8 (for he who gave efficiency to Peter, for the apostleship of the circumcision, gave efficiency to me also, as an apostle for the Gentiles, )
(For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought in me also among the Gentiles.)
9 and knowing the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, but they to the circumcision,
And when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision:
10 requesting only that we would remember the poor, which same thing I have been diligent in doing.
Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful to do.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I openly opposed him, because he had incurred blame.
But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For, before certain persons came from James, he ate with the Gentiles: but, when they had come, he withdrew, and separated himself, because he feared those who were of the circumcision.
For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews, also, acted hypocritically with him, so that even Barnabas was led away by their hypocrisy.
And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter, before them all: If you, being a Jew, live after the manner of the Gentiles, and not after the manner of the Jews, why do you compel the Gen tiles to observe Jewish customs?
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 We, who are Jews by birth, and not Gentile sinners,
We by nature are Jews, and not of the Gentiles sinners.
16 knowing that a man is not justified by works of law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed on Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of law: because, by works of law no flesh shall be justified.
But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are also found sinners, is Christ, therefore, the minister of sin? It can not be.
But if while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners; is Christ then the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I build again those things which I have destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator.
19 For, through law, I have died to law, that I might live to God.
For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, yet I live; no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself for me.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God: for if righteousness be through law, then Christ has died in vain.
I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
