Galatians 2

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

Fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.

2 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:

But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain.

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

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

4 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.

and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

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

to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

6 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.

And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.

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

But on the contrary, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision;

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

(for He who wrought effectually in Peter as to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought effectually also in me as to the gentiles: )

9 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,

and knowing the grace which was given to me; James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars of the church, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

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

Only desiring that we would remember the poor: which I also was forward to do.

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

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was indeed to be blamed.

12 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.

For before certain men came from James, he did eat with the gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.

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

And the rest of the Jews dissembled also with him; so that Barnabas too was carried away with their dissimulation.

14 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?

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, ---If thou, who art a Jew, livest sometimes after the manner of the gentiles, and not like the Jews, why dost thou now in a manner compel the gentiles to judaize?

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

We, who are Jews by birth, and not sinners of the gentiles,

16 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.

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

17 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.

But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sin?

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

God forbid. And if I build again the same things which I demolished, I shew myself a transgressor: for I through the law am dead to the law,

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

that I might live unto God.

20 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.

I am crucified with Christ; yet I live, though no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave up himself for me.

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

I do not frustate the grace of God: for if righteousness be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
