Galatians 2

1 Fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, taking Titus along as well.

Then after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas (having taken with [me] *NK(o)*) also Titus;

2 I went on the basis of a revelation and set before them [the main apostles] the Gospel that I proclaim among the nations/Gentiles.—Now I did this privately to those with influence, lest somehow I might run, or had run, in vain.

I went up now according to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles — apart privately however to those esteemed — lest perhaps in vain I may be running or have run.

3 However, not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, for being a Greek.

But not even Titus who [was] with me myself, a Greek being, was compelled to be circumcised;

4 This came up because of the false brothers who were smuggled in (who stole in to spy out our freedom, that we have in Christ Jesus, so as to reduce us to slavery),

because of even the brought in secretly false brothers, who came in by stealth to spy out the freedom of us which we have in Christ Jesus, that us (they will enslave, *N(k)O*)

5 to whom we did not yield, even for a moment, so that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you.—

to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, so that the truth of the gospel may continue with you.

6 Now from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows favoritism to no man)—those with influence contributed nothing to me,

Of now those esteemed to be something — whatsoever formerly they were no [thing] to me makes a difference; [the] face (*no*) God of a man not does take [account of]; to me myself for the esteemed no [thing] added,

7 but on the contrary, upon seeing that I had been entrusted with the Gospel for the uncircumcised, just as was Peter for the circumcised

But on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision even as Peter [with that] of the circumcision

8 (for He who was at work with Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised was also at work with me for that to the uncircumcised),

the [One] for having worked in Peter for apostleship of the circumcision did also in me myself toward the Gentiles —

9 and upon perceiving the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, while they to the Jews.

and having known the grace which having been given to me, James and Cephas and John, those esteemed pillars to be, [the] right hands gave to me myself and to Barnabas of fellowship, that we ourselves [should go] (indeed *o*) to the Gentiles, they however to the circumcision,

10 They did ask us to keep remembering the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.

Only [they asked] the poor that we may remember; that also I was eager [the] same thing to do.

11 But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy.

When however came (Peter *N(k)O*) to Antioch, to face his I opposed [him], because condemned he was standing.

12 Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing those of the circumcision party.

Before for to come certain ones from James with the Gentiles he was eating; when however (they came, *NK(O)*) he was drawing back and he was separating himself being afraid of those of [the] circumcision;

13 And the rest of the Jews played the hypocrite with him as well, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

And acted hypocritically with him also the rest of [the] Jews so that even Barnabas was carried away of them by the hypocrisy.

14 So when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all: “If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

But when I saw that not they are walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said (to Peter *N(k)O*) before all; If you yourself a Jew being like a Gentile and (not *N(k)O*) like a Jew live, (why *N(k)O*) the Gentiles do you compel to Judaize?

15 We natural Jews (and not ‘Gentile sinners’),

We ourselves by birth Jews and not of [the] Gentiles sinners;

16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, we ourselves have believed into Christ Jesus, so as to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law; because no one will be justified by works of law.

knowing (then *no*) that not is justified a man by works of law only except through faith from Jesus Christ even we ourselves in Christ Jesus believed, that we may be justified by faith from Christ and not by works of the Law; (since *N(k)O*) by works of the Law not will be justified any flesh.

17 But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves were discovered to be sinners, then is Christ a minister of sin? Of course not!

If however seeking to be justified in Christ have been found also we ourselves sinners, surely not [is] Christ of sin a minister? Never would it be!

18 “Now if I rebuild the things that I destroyed, I acknowledge that I am a transgressor.

If for that I had torn down, these things again I build, a transgressor myself I prove;

19 For through the law I died to the law in order to live to God.

I myself for through [the] Law to [the] Law died, that to God I may live.

20 I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; what I now live in this body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself in my place.

to Christ I have been crucified with; I live now no longer no longer I myself, lives however in me myself Christ; that which then now I live in [the] flesh, through faith I live that from the Son of God (and Christ *O*) the [One who] having loved me and having given up Himself for me.

21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

Not I do set aside the grace of God; if for through [the] Law righteousness [is], then Christ for naught died.
