Galatians 2

The Council at Jerusalem

1ThenG1899 afterG1223 anG1223 intervalG1223 of fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 I 1wentG305 upG305 againG3825 to JerusalemG2414 with 2BarnabasG921, takingG4838 3TitusG5103 alongG4838 alsoG2532. 24It was becauseG2596 of a 5revelationG602 that I wentG305 upG305; and I submittedG394 to them the 6gospelG2098 whichG3739 I preachG2784 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, but I did so in privateG2596G2398 to thoseG3588 who were of reputationG1380, forG3381 fearG3381 thatG3381 somehowG4458 I might be 7runningG5143, orG2228 had runG5143, in vainG2756. 3But not evenG3761 8TitusG5103, whoG3588 was with me, though he was a GreekG1672, was 9compelledG315 to be circumcisedG4059. 4YetG1161 it was a concern becauseG1223 of the 10falseG5569 brothersG5569 secretlyG3920 broughtG3920 in, who 11had sneakedG3920 inG3920 to spyG2684 onG2684 our 12freedomG1657 whichG3739 we haveG2192 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 13enslaveG2615 us. 5But we did not yieldG1502 in subjectionG5292 to them, evenG3761 for an hourG5610, soG2443 thatG2443 14the truthG225 of the gospelG2098 would remainG1265 with you. 6But from thoseG3588 who 15were of considerableG5100 16reputeG1380 (whatG3697 they were makesG1308 noG3762 differenceG1308 to me; 17GodG2316 showsG2983 noG3756 favoritismG4383)--wellG1063, thoseG3588 who were of reputeG1380 contributedG4323 nothingG3762 to me. 7But on the contraryG5121, seeingG3708 that I had been 18entrustedG4100 with the 19gospelG2098 20to the uncircumcisedG203, justG2531 asG2531 21PeterG4074 had been 22to the circumcisedG4061 8(for He who was at workG1754 for PeterG4074 in his 23apostleshipG651 24to the circumcisedG4061 was at workG1754 for me alsoG2532 to the GentilesG1484), 9and recognizingG1097 25the graceG5485 that had been givenG1325 to me, 2627JamesG2385 and 2829CephasG2786 and JohnG2491, who were 30reputedG1380 to be 31pillarsG4769, gaveG1325 to me and 32BarnabasG921 the 33rightG1188 34handG1188 of fellowshipG2842, soG2443 thatG2443 we might 35go to the GentilesG1484, and they to the circumcisedG4061. 10They onlyG3440 asked us to rememberG3421 the poorG4434--36the veryG846 thingG846 I alsoG2532 was eagerG4704 to doG4160.

Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul

11But whenG3753 37CephasG2786 cameG2064 to 38AntiochG490, I opposedG436 him to his faceG4383, becauseG3754 he 39stood condemnedG2607. 12For priorG4253 to the comingG2064 of someG5100 menG5100 from 4041JamesG2385, he used to 42eatG4906 with the GentilesG1484; but whenG3753 they cameG2064, he began to withdrawG5288 and separateG873 himselfG1438, 43fearingG5399 those from the circumcisionG4061. 13The restG3062 of the JewsG2453 joinedG4942 him inG4942 hypocrisyG4942, withG5620 theG5620 resultG5620 thatG5620 evenG2532 44BarnabasG921 was carriedG4879 awayG4879 by their hypocrisyG5272. 14But whenG3753 I sawG3708 that they 45were not 46straightforwardG3716 aboutG4314 47the truthG225 of the gospelG2098, I saidG3004 to 48CephasG2786 inG1715 theG1715 presenceG1715 of allG3956, “IfG1487 you, beingG5225 a JewG2453, 49liveG2198 likeG1483 the GentilesG1483 and not likeG2452 the JewsG2452, howG4459 is it that you compelG315 the GentilesG1484 to liveG2450 likeG2450 JewsG2450?50

15“We are 51JewsG2453 by natureG5449 and not 52sinnersG268 from the GentilesG1484; 16neverthelessG1161, knowingG3609 that 53a personG444 is not justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 of 54the LawG3551 but throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, evenG2532 we have believedG4100 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, soG2443 thatG2443 we may be justifiedG1344 by 55faithG4102 in ChristG5547 and not by worksG2041 of 56the LawG3551; sinceG3754 57by worksG2041 of 58the LawG3551 noG3756G3956 59fleshG4561 will be justifiedG1344. 17But ifG1487, while seekingG2212 to be justifiedG1344 in ChristG5547, we ourselvesG846 have alsoG2532 been foundG2147 60sinnersG268, is ChristG5547 thenG687 a servantG1249 of sinG266? 6162FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 18For ifG1487 I rebuildG3618 whatG3739 I have once destroyedG2647, I 63proveG4921 myselfG1683 to be a wrongdoerG3848. 19For throughG1223 64the LawG3551 I 65diedG599 to 66the LawG3551, soG2443 thatG2443 I might liveG2198 for GodG2316. 20I have been 67crucifiedG4957 with ChristG5547; and it is noG3765 longerG3765 I who liveG2198, but 68ChristG5547 livesG2198 in me; and 69the life whichG3739 I nowG3568 liveG2198 in the fleshG4561 I liveG2198 by faithG4102 in 70the SonG5207 of GodG2316, who 71lovedG25 me and 72gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 upG3860 for me. 21I do not nullifyG114 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, for 73ifG1487 righteousnessG1343 comes throughG1223 74the LawG3551, thenG686 ChristG5547 diedG599 needlesslyG1432.”
