Galatians 2:7-15
7But on the contraryG5121, seeingG3708 that I had been 1entrustedG4100 with the 2gospelG2098 3to the uncircumcisedG203, justG2531 asG2531 4PeterG4074 had been 5to the circumcisedG4061 8(for He who was at workG1754 for PeterG4074 in his 6apostleshipG651 7to the circumcisedG4061 was at workG1754 for me alsoG2532 to the GentilesG1484), 9and recognizingG1097 8the graceG5485 that had been givenG1325 to me, 910JamesG2385 and 1112CephasG2786 and JohnG2491, who were 13reputedG1380 to be 14pillarsG4769, gaveG1325 to me and 15BarnabasG921 the 16rightG1188 17handG1188 of fellowshipG2842, soG2443 thatG2443 we might 18go to the GentilesG1484, and they to the circumcisedG4061. 10They onlyG3440 asked us to rememberG3421 the poorG4434--19the veryG846 thingG846 I alsoG2532 was eagerG4704 to doG4160.
11But whenG3753 20CephasG2786 cameG2064 to 21AntiochG490, I opposedG436 him to his faceG4383, becauseG3754 he 22stood condemnedG2607. 12For priorG4253 to the comingG2064 of someG5100 menG5100 from 2324JamesG2385, he used to 25eatG4906 with the GentilesG1484; but whenG3753 they cameG2064, he began to withdrawG5288 and separateG873 himselfG1438, 26fearingG5399 those from the circumcisionG4061. 13The restG3062 of the JewsG2453 joinedG4942 him inG4942 hypocrisyG4942, withG5620 theG5620 resultG5620 thatG5620 evenG2532 27BarnabasG921 was carriedG4879 awayG4879 by their hypocrisyG5272. 14But whenG3753 I sawG3708 that they 28were not 29straightforwardG3716 aboutG4314 30the truthG225 of the gospelG2098, I saidG3004 to 31CephasG2786 inG1715 theG1715 presenceG1715 of allG3956, “IfG1487 you, beingG5225 a JewG2453, 32liveG2198 likeG1483 the GentilesG1483 and not likeG2452 the JewsG2452, howG4459 is it that you compelG315 the GentilesG1484 to liveG2450 likeG2450 JewsG2450?33
15“We are 34JewsG2453 by natureG5449 and not 35sinnersG268 from the GentilesG1484;
