Galatians 2

2^*Then fourteen years ^aafter ^bI ^cwent up again to Jerusalem with ^dBarnabas, and took ^eTitus with me also. ²And I went up ^fby revelation, ^gand ^hcommunicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but ^||iprivately to them ^kwhich were of reputation, lest by any means ^lI should run, or had run, in vain. ³But neither ^eTitus, who was with me, being a Greek, ^mwas compelled to be circumcised: ⁴And that ⁿbecause of ^ofalse brethren unawares brought in, who ^pcame in privily to spy out ^qour liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, ^rthat they might bring us into bondage: ⁵To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not ^sfor an hour; that ^tthe truth of the gospel might continue with you. ⁶But of these ^kwho seemed ^uto be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: ^wGod accepteth no man’s person:) for ^xthey ^kwho seemed to be somewhat ^yin conference added nothing to me: ⁷But contrariwise, when they saw that ^zthe gospel of the uncircumcision ^awas committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; ⁸(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the ^bapostleship of the circumcision, the same ^cwas mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) ⁹And when ^dJames, ^eCephas, and ^fJohn, ^gwho seemed to be ^hpillars, perceived ⁱthe grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and ^jBarnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. ¹⁰Only they would ^kthat we should remember the poor; ^lthe same which I also was forward to do.

¹¹But ^mwhen Peter was come to ⁿAntioch, I withstood him ^oto the face, because he was to be blamed. ¹²For before that certain came from ^dJames, ^phe did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing ^qthem which were of the circumcision. ¹³And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that ^jBarnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. ¹⁴But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to ^rthe truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter ^sbefore them all, If thou, being a Jew, ^plivest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why ^sscompellest thou the Gentiles to ^tlive as do the Jews? ^15uWe who are Jews ^vby nature, and not ^wsinners of the Gentiles, ¹⁶Knowing that ^xa man is not justified by the works of the law, but ^yuby the ^zfaith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified ^uby the ^zfaith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for ^aby the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. ¹⁷But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found ^bsinners, is therefore Christ ^cthe minister of sin? ^dGod forbid. ¹⁸For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I ^emake myself a transgressor. ¹⁹For I ^fthrough the law ^gam dead to the law, that ^hI might live unto God. ²⁰I am ⁱcrucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh ^hI live by the faith of the Son of God, ^kwho loved me, and ^lgave himself for me. ²¹I do not ^mfrustrate the grace of God: for ⁿif righteousness come by the law, then ^oChrist is dead in vain.
