Galatians 2

1ThenG1899 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 afterG1223 I went upG305 againG3825 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 withG3326 BarnabasG921, and tookG4838 TitusG5103 withG4838 me alsoG2532. 2AndG1161 I went upG305 byG2596 revelationG602, andG2532 communicatedG394 unto themG846 that gospelG3588G2098 whichG3739 I preachG2784 amongG1722 the GentilesG3588G1484, butG1161 privatelyG2398 to them whichG3588 were of reputationG1380, lest by any meansG3381 I should runG5143, orG2228 had runG5143, inG1519 vainG2756.

3ButG235 neitherG3761 TitusG5103, who wasG3588 withG4862 meG1473, beingG1510 a GreekG1672, was compelledG315 to be circumcisedG4059: 4And thatG1161 because ofG1223 false brethrenG5569 unawares brought inG3920, whoG3748 came in privilyG3922 to spy outG2684 ourG1473 libertyG3588G1657 whichG3739 we haveG2192 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, thatG2443 they might bringG2615 usG1473 into bondageG2615: 5To whomG3739 we gave placeG1502 by subjectionG3588G5292, no, notG3761 forG4314 an hourG5610; thatG2443 the truthG3588G225 of the gospelG3588G2098 might continueG1265 withG4314 youG4771.

6ButG1161 ofG575 these whoG3588 seemedG1380 to beG1510 somewhatG5100, (whatsoeverG3697 they wereG1510, it makethG1308 noG3762 matterG1308 to meG1473: GodG2316 acceptethG2983 noG3756 man’sG444 personG4383:) forG1063 they whoG3588 seemedG1380 to be somewhat in conference addedG4323 nothingG3762 to meG1473: 7ButG235 contrariwiseG5121, when they sawG3708 thatG3754 the gospelG3588G2098 of the uncircumcisionG3588G203 was committed unto meG4100, asG2531 the gospel of the circumcisionG3588G4061 was unto PeterG4074; 8(ForG1063 he thatG3588 wrought effectuallyG1754 in PeterG4074 toG1519 the apostleshipG651 of the circumcisionG3588G4061, the same was mightyG1754 in meG1473 towardG1519 the GentilesG3588G1484:) 9AndG2532 when JamesG2385, CephasG2786, andG2532 JohnG2491, whoG3588 seemedG1380 to beG1510 pillarsG4769, perceivedG1097 the graceG3588G5485 thatG3588 was givenG1325 unto meG1473, they gaveG1325 to meG1473 andG2532 BarnabasG921 the right handsG1188 of fellowshipG2842; thatG2443 weG1473 should go untoG1519 the heathenG3588G1484, andG1161 theyG846 untoG1519 the circumcisionG3588G4061. 10OnlyG3440 they would thatG2443 we should rememberG3421 the poorG4434; the sameG846 whichG3739 IG4704 alsoG2532 was forwardG4704 to doG4160.

11ButG1161 whenG3753 PeterG4074 was comeG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490, I withstoodG436 himG846 toG2596 the faceG4383, becauseG3754 he wasG1510 to be blamedG2607. 12ForG1063 beforeG4253 thatG3588 certainG5100 cameG2064 fromG575 JamesG2385, he did eatG4906 withG3326 the GentilesG3588G1484: butG1161 whenG3753 they were comeG2064, he withdrewG5288 andG2532 separatedG873 himselfG1438, fearingG5399 them whichG3588 were ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061. 13AndG2532 the otherG3062 JewsG2453 dissembledG4942 likewiseG2532 with himG846; insomuch thatG5620 BarnabasG921 alsoG2532 was carried away withG4879 theirG846 dissimulationG3588G5272.

14ButG235 whenG3753 I sawG3708 thatG3754 they walkedG3716 notG3756 uprightlyG3716 according toG4314 the truthG3588G225 of the gospelG3588G2098, I saidG3004 unto PeterG3588G4074 beforeG1715 them allG3956, IfG1487 thouG4771, beingG5225 a JewG2453, livestG2198 after the manner of GentilesG1483, andG2532 notG3756 as do the JewsG2452, whyG5101 compellest thouG315 the GentilesG3588G1484 to live as do the JewsG2450? 15WeG1473 who are JewsG2453 by natureG5449, andG2532 notG3756 sinnersG268 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484, 16KnowingG1492 thatG3754 a manG444 isG1344 notG3756 justifiedG1344 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, butG1437 byG1223 the faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, evenG2532 weG1473 have believedG4100 inG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, andG2532 notG3756 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551: for byG1360 the worksG2041 ofG1537 the lawG3551 shallG1344 noG3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344. 17ButG1161 ifG1487, while we seekG2212 to be justifiedG1344 byG1722 ChristG5547, we ourselvesG846 alsoG2532 are foundG2147 sinnersG268, is thereforeG687 ChristG5547 the ministerG1249 of sinG266? God forbidG3361G1096. 18ForG1063 ifG1487 I buildG3618 againG3825 the thingsG3778 whichG3739 I destroyedG2647, I makeG4921 myselfG1683 a transgressorG3848. 19ForG1063 IG1473 throughG1223 the lawG3551 am deadG599 to the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might liveG2198 unto GodG2316. 20I am crucified withG4957 ChristG5547: neverthelessG1161 I liveG2198; yet notG3765 IG1473, butG1161 ChristG5547 livethG2198 inG1722 meG1473: andG1161 the life whichG3739 IG2198 nowG3568 liveG2198 inG1722 the fleshG4561 I liveG2198 byG1722 the faithG4102 of the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316, whoG3588 lovedG25 meG1473, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 meG1473.

21I doG114 notG3756 frustrateG114 the graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316: forG1063 ifG1487 righteousnessG1343 come byG1223 the lawG3551, thenG686 ChristG5547 is deadG599 in vainG1432.
