Galatians 2

1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.

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

2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles. I spoke privately to those who seemed to be important, in order to make sure that I was not running—or had not 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 But not even Titus, who was with me and who was a Greek, was forced to be circumcised.

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

4 The false brothers came in secretly to spy on the liberty we have in Christ Jesus. They desired to make us slaves,

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 but we did not yield in submission to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would 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 But those who seemed to be important (whatever they were does not matter to me, God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed important 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 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to those who are uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to those who are 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 God, who worked in Peter for the apostleship to those who are circumcised, also worked in me to the Gentiles.

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

9 When James, Cephas, and John, who were recognized as those who built up the church, understood the grace that had been given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me. They did this so that we should go to the Gentiles, and so that they should go to those who are circumcised.

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 requested only that we remember the poor, the very thing that I 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 Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he was declared to be in the wrong.

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, Cephas was eating with the Gentiles. But when these men came, he stopped and kept away from the Gentiles. He was afraid of those who were demanding 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 Also the rest of the Jews joined in this hypocrisy. Even Barnabas was led astray with them by 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 But when I saw that their behavior was not following the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of all of them, “If you are a Jew but are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force 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 ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;

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

16 yet we know that no person is justified by the works of the law but through faith in Christ Jesus. We also came to faith in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law. For by the works of the law no flesh will be justified.

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 we seek to be justified in Christ, we too, were found to be sinners, does Christ then promote sin? Absolutely 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 For if I rebuild those things I once destroyed, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.

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, so that I might live for God.

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

20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. 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 set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained 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.
