Galatians 2
2:1Then after fourteen years again I ascended to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking along also Titus.
2:2And I ascended according to revelation, and presented to them the good news which I proclaim among the nations, and in private to the ones assuming leadership, lest perhaps in vain I run, or ran.
2:3But not even Titus, the one with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
2:4And on account of the intrusions of false brethren, ones who entered privately to spy out our freedom, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they shall reduce us to slavery;
2:5to whom not even for an hour we yielded way in the submission, that the truth of the good news should abide with you.
2:6But from the ones seeming to be something, as to like whatever they were, differs nothing to me; God does not take the person of a man; for the ones seeming important conferred nothing to me;
2:7but on the other hand, having seen that I have been trusted with the good news of the uncircumcised, as Peter of the circumcision,
2:8(for the one operating in Peter for commission of the circumcision, operated also to me among the nations),
2:9and knowing the favor being given to me, James and Cephas and John, the ones assuming to be columns of strength, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the nations, but they to the circumcision.
2:10Only that we should remember the poor, which even I was hurried to do this same thing.
2:11But when Peter came to Antioch in person, I opposed him, for he was for being condemned.
2:12For before the coming of some from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came, he kept back and separated himself, fearing the ones of the circumcision.
2:13And also the rest of the Jews acted the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was led away by them in the hypocrisy.
2:14But when I saw that he did not walk uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter in front of all, If you, being Jewish-like, live like the nations and not like a Jew, why do you compel the nations to Judaize?
2:15We are by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations;
2:16and knowing that man is not justified from works of law, but through belief of Jesus Christ, and we trusted in Christ Jesus, that we should be justified of belief of Christ, and not by works of law; for not shall any flesh be justified by works of law.
2:17And if seeking to be justified in Christ, we have been found also ourselves sinners, is then Christ a servant of sin? May it not be.
2:18For if what I deposed, these things again I build back up, I stand a violator myself.
2:19For I through law died to law, that to God I should live.
2:20I have been crucified with Christ, but I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; but that flesh which I now live in, I live in belief -- in the one of the son of God, of the one loving me, and delivering himself up for me.
2:21I do not annul the favor of God. For if righteousness is through law, then Christ died for nothing.
