Galatians 2

1 And again, after fourteen years, I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas; and I took with me Titus.

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

2 And I went up by revelation: and I explained to them the gospel which I announce among the Gentiles; and I stated it to them who were esteemed prominent, between myself and them: lest I should have run, or might 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 Also Titus, who was with me, and was a Gentile, was not compelled to be circumcised.

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

4 And in regard to the false brethren, who had crept in to spy out the liberty we have in Jesus the Messiah, in order to bring me under subjection;

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 not for the space of an hour, did we throw ourselves into subjection to them; so that the truth of the gospel might remain 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 And they who were esteemed prominent, (what they were, I care not; for God regardeth not the persons of men, ) even these persons added 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, otherwise; for they saw, that the gospel of the uncircumcision was intrusted to me, as to Cephas was intrusted that of the circumcision.

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 that was operative with Cephas in the legateship of the circumcision, was also operative with me in the legateship of the Gentiles.

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

9 And James, Cephas, and John, who were accounted pillars, when they perceived the grace that was given to me, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship; that we should labor among the Gentiles, and they among the circumcision.

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 Only they desired that we would be mindful of the needy; and I was solicitous to do the same.

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

11 But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I rebuked him to his face; because they were stumbled by him.

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

12 For before certain ones came from James, he ate with the Gentiles: but when they came, he withdrew himself, and separated; because he was afraid of them of the circumcision.

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 also were with him in this thing; insomuch that even Barnabas was induced to regard persons.

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

14 And when I saw, that they did not walk correctly, in the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas, before them all: If thou art a Jew, and livest in the Gentile way, and not in the Jewish, why dost thou compel the Gentiles to live in the Jewish way?

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 For if we, who are Jews by nature, and are not sinners of the Gentiles,

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

16 because we know that a man is not made just by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus the Messiah; even we have believed in Jesus the Messiah, in order to be made just by faith in the Messiah, and not by the works of the law: for, by the deeds of the law, no flesh is made just.

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 And if, while we seek to become just by the Messiah, we are found to be ourselves sinners, is Jesus the Messiah therefore the minister of sin? Far be it!

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 For if I should build up again the things I had demolished, I should show myself to be a transgressor of the precept.

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

19 For I, by the law, have become dead to the law, that I might live to God; and I am crucified with the Messiah.

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

20 And henceforth it is no more I who live, but the Messiah liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

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 spurn the grace of God. For if righteousness is by means of the law, the Messiah died in vain.

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