Galatians 2:11-16

11But whenG3753 1CephasG2786 cameG2064 to 2AntiochG490, I opposedG436 him to his faceG4383, becauseG3754 he 3stood condemnedG2607. 12For priorG4253 to the comingG2064 of certainG5100 menG5100 from 4 5JamesG2385, he used to 6eatG4906 with the GentilesG1484; but whenG3753 they cameG2064, he began to withdrawG5288 and holdG873 himselfG1438 aloofG873, 7fearingG5399 8the party of the circumcisionG4061. 13The restG3062 of the JewsG2453 joinedG4942 him in hypocrisyG4942, with the resultG5620 that evenG2532 9BarnabasG921 was carriedG4879 awayG4879 by their hypocrisyG5272. 14But whenG3753 I sawG3708 that they 10were not 11straightforwardG3716 aboutG4314 12the truthG225 of the gospelG2098, I saidG3004 to 13CephasG2786 in the presenceG1715 of allG3956, “IfG1487 you, beingG5225 a JewG2453, 14liveG2198 likeG1483 the GentilesG1483 and not likeG2452 the JewsG2452, howG4459 is it that you compelG315 the GentilesG1484 to liveG2450 likeG2450 JewsG2450?15

15“We are 16JewsG2453 by natureG5449 and not 17sinnersG268 from amongG1537 the GentilesG1484; 16neverthelessG1161 knowingG3609 that 18a manG444 is not justifiedG1344 by the worksG2041 of 19the LawG3551 but throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, evenG2532 we have believedG4100 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, soG2443 that we may be justifiedG1344 by 20faithG4102 in ChristG5547 and not by the worksG2041 of 21the LawG3551; sinceG3754 22by the worksG2041 of 23the LawG3551 noG3756 G3956 24fleshG4561 will be justifiedG1344.
