Galatians 2

1 Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.

Then fourteene yeeres after, I went vp againe to Hierusalem with Barnabas, and tooke with me Titus also.

2 I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.

And I went vp by reuelation, and declared vnto them that Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but particularly to them that were the chiefe, least by any meanes I should runne, or had runne in vaine:

3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.

But neither yet Titus which was with me, though he were a Grecian, was compelled to be circumcised,

4 This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

To wit, for the false brethren which were craftily sent in, and crept in priuily to spie out our libertie, which we haue in Christ Iesus, that they might bring vs into bondage.

5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

To whom we gaue not place by subiection for an houre, that the trueth of the Gospel might continue with you.

6 But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism —those leaders added nothing to me.

But by them which seemed to be great, I was not taught (whatsoeuer they were in time passed, I am nothing the better: God accepteth no mans person) for they that are the chiefe, did adde nothing to me aboue that I had.

7 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.

But contrariwise, when they saw that ye Gospel ouer ye vncircumcision was comitted vnto me, as the Gospel ouer ye circumcision was vnto Peter:

8 For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.

(For he that was mightie by Peter in the Apostleship ouer the circumcision, was also mightie by me toward the Gentiles)

9 And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.

And when Iames, and Cephas, and Iohn, knew of the grace that was giuen vnto me, which are counted to be pillars, they gaue to me and to Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should preach vnto the Gentiles, and they vnto the Circumcision,

10 They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

Warning onely that we should remember the poore: which thing also I was diligent to doe.

11 When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.

And when Peter was come to Antiochia, I withstood him to his face: for he was to be condemned.

12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.

For before that certaine came from Iames, he ate with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himselfe, fearing them which were of the Circumcision.

13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.

And the other Iewes played the hypocrites likewise with him, in so much that Barnabas was led away with them by that their hypocrisie.

14 When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

But when I saw, that they went not ye right way to the trueth of ye Gospel, I sayd vnto Peter before all men, If thou being a Iewe, liuest as the Gentiles, and not like the Iewes, why constrainest thou the Gentiles to doe like the Iewes?

15 We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”

We which are Iewes by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

16 know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Knowe that a man is not iustified by the works of the Law, but by ye faith of Iesus Christ, euen we, I say, haue beleeued in Iesus Christ, that we might be iustified by the faith of Christ, and not by the workes of the Lawe, because that by the workes of the Lawe, no flesh shalbe iustified.

17 But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!

If then while we seeke to be made righteous by Christ, we our selues are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sinne? God forbid.

18 If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.

For if I build againe the things that I haue destroyed, I make my selfe a trespasser.

19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.

For I through the Lawe am dead to the Lawe, that I might liue vnto God.

20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

I am crucified with Christ, but I liue, yet not I any more, but Christ liueth in me: and in that that I now liue in the flesh, I liue by the faith in the Sonne of God, who hath loued me, and giuen him selfe for me.

21 I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.

I doe not abrogate the grace of God: for if righteousnes be by the Lawe, then Christ dyed without a cause.
