Galatians 2:13-16

13The restG3062 of the JewsG2453 joinedG4942 him inG4942 hypocrisyG4942, withG5620 theG5620 resultG5620 thatG5620 evenG2532 1BarnabasG921 was carriedG4879 awayG4879 by their hypocrisyG5272. 14But whenG3753 I sawG3708 that they 2were not 3straightforwardG3716 aboutG4314 4the truthG225 of the gospelG2098, I saidG3004 to 5CephasG2786 inG1715 theG1715 presenceG1715 of allG3956, “IfG1487 you, beingG5225 a JewG2453, 6liveG2198 likeG1483 the GentilesG1483 and not likeG2452 the JewsG2452, howG4459 is it that you compelG315 the GentilesG1484 to liveG2450 likeG2450 JewsG2450?7

15“We are 8JewsG2453 by natureG5449 and not 9sinnersG268 from the GentilesG1484; 16neverthelessG1161, knowingG3609 that 10a personG444 is not justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 of 11the LawG3551 but throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, evenG2532 we have believedG4100 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, soG2443 thatG2443 we may be justifiedG1344 by 12faithG4102 in ChristG5547 and not by worksG2041 of 13the LawG3551; sinceG3754 14by worksG2041 of 15the LawG3551 noG3756G3956 16fleshG4561 will be justifiedG1344.
