Galatians 2

1 After that, fourteen years later, I, again, went up unto Jerusalem, with Barnabas, taking with me Titus also;

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

2 And I went up by revelation, and laid before them the glad-message which I proclaim among the nations; privately, however, to them of repute, —lest, by any means, in vain, I should be running, or had run.

And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them concerning the evangel 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.

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 Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

4 But, [this was] because of the false brethren secretly introduced, —who, indeed, came in secretly to spy out our freedom, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: —

And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in the Messiah Yahushua, that they might bring us into bondage:

5 Unto whom, not even for an hour, gave we place by the [required] submission, —in order that, the truth of the glad-message, might still abide with you.

To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the evangel might continue with you.

6 Moreover, from them who were reputed to be something, —whatsoever at one time, they were, maketh no difference to me, God accepteth not a man’s person, —unto me, in fact, they who were of repute added nothing further;

But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: YHWH accepteth no man's person: ) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

7 But, on the contrary, —when they saw that I had been entrusted with the glad-message to the uncircumcision, even as, Peter, [with that] to the circumcision,

But contrariwise, when they saw that the evangel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the evangel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

8 For, he that energised in Peter, into an apostleship to the circumcision, energised also in me, for the nations, —

(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles: )

9 And when they perceived the favour which had been given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave, the right hand of fellowship, unto me and Barnabas, in order that, we, [should go] unto the nations, and, they, unto the circumcision: —

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the favour that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

10 Only that we should remember, the destitute, —as to which I had given diligence, this very thing, to do.

Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

11 But, when Cephas came unto Antioch, to the face, [even], him, I resisted, because he stood condemned;

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

12 For, before that certain came from James, with them of the nations, used he to eat; whereas, when they came, he used to withdraw, and keep himself separate, fearing them of the circumcision;

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.

13 And the rest of the Jews [also] used hypocrisy with him, so that, even Barnabas, was carried away by their hypocrisy.

And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

14 But, when I saw that they were not walking with straightforwardness as regardeth the truth of the glad-message, I said unto Cephas, before all: If, thou, although, a Jew, like them of the nations, and not like the Jews, dost live, how dost thou compel, them of the nations, to live like Jews?

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

15 We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations,

We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

16 Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, [nor at all] save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous—by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous.

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

17 Now, if in seeking to be declared righteous in Christ we, ourselves also, were found sinners, —is Christ, therefore, a minister, of sin? Far be it!

But if, while we seek to be justified by the Messiah, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore the Messiah the minister of sin? By no means.

18 For, if, the things that I pulled down, these, again, I build, a transgressor, I prove, myself, to be.

For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

19 For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: —

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto YHWH.

20 With Christ, have I been crucified; and, living no longer, am, I, but, living in me, is, Christ, —while, so far as I now do live in flesh, by faith, I live—The faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up in my behalf.

I am crucified with the Messiah: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but the Messiah liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of YHWH, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

21 I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.

I do not frustrate the favour of YHWH: for if righteousness come by the law, then the Messiah is dead in vain.
