Galatians 2:11-18

11But whenG3753 CephasG2786 cameG2064 to AntiochG490, I resisted him to the faceG4383, because he stood condemnedG2607. 12For before that certainG5100 cameG2064 from JamesG2385, he ate with the GentilesG1484; but whenG3753 they cameG2064, he drew backG5288 and separatedG873 himself, fearingG5399 them that were of the circumcisionG4061. 13And the restG3062 of the JewsG2453 dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that evenG2532 BarnabasG921 was carried awayG4879 with their dissimulation. 14But whenG3753 I sawG3708 that they walked not uprightly according to the truthG225 of the gospelG2098, I saidG3004 unto CephasG2786 before them all, If thou, being a JewG2453, livest as do the GentilesG1484, and not as do the JewsG2453, howG4459 compellest thou the GentilesG1484 to liveG2198 as do the JewsG2453? 15We being JewsG2453 by natureG5449, and not sinnersG268 of the GentilesG1484, 16yet knowing that a manG444 is not justifiedG1344 by the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 but through faithG4102 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547, evenG2532 we believedG4100 on ChristG5547 JesusG2424, that we might be justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 in ChristG5547, and not by the worksG2041 of the lawG3551: because by the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 shall no fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344. 17But if, while we soughtG2212 to be justifiedG1344 in ChristG5547, we ourselves alsoG2532 were foundG2147 sinnersG268, is ChristG5547 a ministerG1249 of sinG266? God forbid. 18For if I buildG3618 up againG3825 those thingsG3778 which I destroyedG2647, I prove myself a transgressorG3848.
