Galatians 2

The Council at Jerusalem

1

Theng1899 afterg1223 an interval of fourteeng1180 yearsg2094 I  awentg305 up againg3825 to Jerusalemg2414 with  bBarnabasg921, takingg4838  cTitusg5103 alongg4838 alsog2532.

2

 1It was becauseg2596 of a  arevelationg602 that I wentg305 up; and I submittedg394 to them the  bgospelg2098 whichg3739 I preachg2784 amongg1722 the Gentilesg1484, but I did so in privateg2596g2398 to thoseg3588 who were of reputationg1380, for fearg3381 that I might be  crunningg5143, org2228 had rung5143, in vaing2756.

3

But not eveng3761  aTitusg5103, whog3588 was with me, though he was a Greekg1672, was  bcompelledg315 to be circumcisedg4059.

4

But it was becauseg1223 of the  afalseg5569 brethreng5569 secretlyg3920 broughtg3920 in, who  bhad sneakedg3920 in to spyg2684 out our  clibertyg1657 whichg3739 we haveg2192 in Christg5547 Jesusg2424, in orderg2443 to  dbringg2615 us into bondageg2615.

5

But we did not yieldg1502 in subjectiong5292 to them for eveng3761 an hourg5610, sog2443 that  athe truthg225 of the gospelg2098 would remaing1265 with you.

6

But from thoseg3588 who  1were of highg5100  areputationg1380 (whatg3697 they were makesg1308 nog3762 differenceg1308 to me;  bGodg2316  2showsg2983 nog3756 partialityg4383)--wellg1063, thoseg3588 who were of reputationg1380 contributedg4323 nothingg3762 to me.

7

But on the contraryg5121, seeingg3708 that I had been  aentrustedg4100 with the  bgospelg2098  1to the uncircumcisedg203, justg2531a as  cPeterg4074 had been  2to the circumcisedg4061

8

(for He who effectuallyg1754 workedg1754 for Peterg4074 in his  aapostleshipg651  1to the circumcisedg4061 effectuallyg1754 workedg1754 for me alsog2532 to the Gentilesg1484),

9

and recognizingg1097  athe graceg5485 that had been giveng1325 to me,  1 bJamesg2385 and  cCephasg2786 and Johng2491, who were  dreputedg1380 to be  epillarsg4769, gaveg1325 to me and  fBarnabasg921 the  grightg1188  2handg1188 of fellowshipg2842, sog2443 that we might  hgo to the Gentilesg1484 and they to the circumcisedg4061.

10

They onlyg3440 asked us to rememberg3421 the poorg4434-- athe veryg846 thingg846 I alsog2532 was eagerg4704 to dog4160.

Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul

11

But wheng3753  aCephasg2786 cameg2064 to  bAntiochg490, I opposedg436 him to his faceg4383, becauseg3754 he  1stood condemnedg2607.

12

For priorg4253 to the comingg2064 of certaing5100 meng5100 from  1 aJamesg2385, he used to  beatg4906 with the Gentilesg1484; but wheng3753 they cameg2064, he began to withdrawg5288 and holdg873 himselfg1438 aloofg873,  cfearingg5399  2the party of the circumcisiong4061.

13

The restg3062 of the Jewsg2453 joinedg4942 him in hypocrisyg4942, with the resultg5620 that eveng2532  aBarnabasg921 was carriedg4879 awayg4879 by their hypocrisyg5272.

14

But wheng3753 I sawg3708 that they  awere not  1straightforwardg3716 aboutg4314  bthe truthg225 of the gospelg2098, I saidg3004 to  cCephasg2786 in the presenceg1715 of allg3956, "Ifg1487 you, beingg5225 a Jewg2453,  dliveg2198 likeg1483 the Gentilesg1483 and not likeg2452 the Jewsg2452, howg4459 is it that you compelg315 the Gentilesg1484 to liveg2450 likeg2450 Jewsg2450?  2

15

"We are  aJewsg2453 by natureg5449 and not  bsinnersg268 from amongg1537 the Gentilesg1484;

16

neverthelessg1161 knowingg3609a that  aa mang444 is not justifiedg1344 by the worksg2041 of  1the Lawg3551 but throughg1223 faithg4102 in Christg5547 Jesusg2424, eveng2532 we have believedg4100 in Christg5547 Jesusg2424, sog2443 that we may be justifiedg1344 by  bfaithg4102 in Christg5547 and not by the worksg2041 of  1the Lawg3551; sinceg3754  cby the worksg2041 of  1the Lawg3551 nog3756g3956  2fleshg4561 will be justifiedg1344.

17

"But ifg1487, while seekingg2212 to be justifiedg1344 in Christg5547, we ourselvesg846 have alsog2532 been foundg2147  asinnersg268, is Christg5547 theng686 a ministerg1249 of sing266?  bMay it neverg3361 be!

18

"For ifg1487 I rebuildg3618 whatg3739 I have once destroyedg2647, I  aproveg4921 myselfg1683 to be a transgressorg3848.

19

"For throughg1223  1the Lawg3551 I  adiedg599 to  1the Lawg3551, sog2443 that I might liveg2198 to Godg2316.

20

"I have been  acrucifiedg4957 with Christg5547; and it is nog3765 longerg3765 I who liveg2198, but  bChristg5547 livesg2198 in me; and  1the life whichg3739 I nowg3568 liveg2198 in the fleshg4561 I liveg2198 by faithg4102 in  cthe Song5207 of Godg2316, who  dlovedg25 me and  egaveg3860 Himselfg1438 up for me.

21

"I do not nullifyg114 the graceg5485 of Godg2316, for  aifg1487 righteousnessg1343 comes throughg1223  1the Lawg3551, theng686 Christg5547 diedg599 needlesslyg1431."
