Galatians 2
1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
Then, fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
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.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
4 And that because of false brothers unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
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,
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
to whom we yielded in submission, not even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.
6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it makes no matter to me: God accepts no man’s person: ) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
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;
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as the gospel of the circumcision was to Peter;
but; on the other hand, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision,
8 (For he that worked effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles: )
(for he who gave efficiency to Peter, for the apostleship of the circumcision, gave efficiency to me also, as an apostle for the Gentiles, )
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.
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,
10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
requesting only that we would remember the poor, which same thing I have been diligent in doing.
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I openly opposed him, because he had incurred blame.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
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.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
And the other Jews, also, acted hypocritically with him, so that even Barnabas was led away by their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw that they walked not 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 Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compel you the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
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?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
We, who are Jews by birth, and not Gentile sinners,
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
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.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
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.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
For if I build again those things which I have destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live to God.
For, through law, I have died to law, that I might live to God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not 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.
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.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
I do not set aside the grace of God: for if righteousness be through law, then Christ has died in vain.
