Galatians 2:11–21

¹¹And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy, ¹²for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision, ¹³and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation. ¹⁴But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, ‘If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize? ¹⁵we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations, ¹⁶having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.’ ¹⁷And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be! ¹⁸for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth; ¹⁹for I through law, did die, that to God I may live; ²⁰with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh—in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me; ²¹I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law—then Christ died in vain.
