Galatians 2:5-14

5But we did not yieldG1502 in subjectionG5292 to them, evenG3761 for an hourG5610, soG2443 thatG2443 1the truthG225 of the gospelG2098 would remainG1265 with you. 6But from thoseG3588 who 2were of considerableG5100 3reputeG1380 (whatG3697 they were makesG1308 noG3762 differenceG1308 to me; 4GodG2316 showsG2983 noG3756 favoritismG4383)--wellG1063, thoseG3588 who were of reputeG1380 contributedG4323 nothingG3762 to me. 7But on the contraryG5121, seeingG3708 that I had been 5entrustedG4100 with the 6gospelG2098 7to the uncircumcisedG203, justG2531 asG2531 8PeterG4074 had been 9to the circumcisedG4061 8(for He who was at workG1754 for PeterG4074 in his 10apostleshipG651 11to the circumcisedG4061 was at workG1754 for me alsoG2532 to the GentilesG1484), 9and recognizingG1097 12the graceG5485 that had been givenG1325 to me, 13 14JamesG2385 and 15 16CephasG2786 and JohnG2491, who were 17reputedG1380 to be 18pillarsG4769, gaveG1325 to me and 19BarnabasG921 the 20rightG1188 21handG1188 of fellowshipG2842, soG2443 thatG2443 we might 22go to the GentilesG1484, and they to the circumcisedG4061. 10They onlyG3440 asked us to rememberG3421 the poorG4434--23the veryG846 thingG846 I alsoG2532 was eagerG4704 to doG4160.

11But whenG3753 24CephasG2786 cameG2064 to 25AntiochG490, I opposedG436 him to his faceG4383, becauseG3754 he 26stood condemnedG2607. 12For priorG4253 to the comingG2064 of someG5100 menG5100 from 27 28JamesG2385, he used to 29eatG4906 with the GentilesG1484; but whenG3753 they cameG2064, he began to withdrawG5288 and separateG873 himselfG1438, 30fearingG5399 those from the circumcisionG4061. 13The restG3062 of the JewsG2453 joinedG4942 him inG4942 hypocrisyG4942, withG5620 theG5620 resultG5620 thatG5620 evenG2532 31BarnabasG921 was carriedG4879 awayG4879 by their hypocrisyG5272. 14But whenG3753 I sawG3708 that they 32were not 33straightforwardG3716 aboutG4314 34the truthG225 of the gospelG2098, I saidG3004 to 35CephasG2786 inG1715 theG1715 presenceG1715 of allG3956, “IfG1487 you, beingG5225 a JewG2453, 36liveG2198 likeG1483 the GentilesG1483 and not likeG2452 the JewsG2452, howG4459 is it that you compelG315 the GentilesG1484 to liveG2450 likeG2450 JewsG2450?37
