1Then[G1899]fourteen[G1180]years[G2094]after[G1223] I went up[G305]again[G3825]to[G1519]Jerusalem[G2414]with[G3326]Barnabas[G921], and took[G4838]Titus[G5103]with[G3326]me[G4838]also[G2532].
2And[G1161] I went up[G305]by[G2596]revelation[G602], and[G2532]communicated[G394] unto them[G846] that gospel[G2098]which[G3739] I preach[G2784]among[G1722] the Gentiles[G1484], but[G1161]privately[G2596] to them[G846]which[G3739] were of reputation[G1380], lest by[G2596] any means[G3381] I should run[G5143], or[G2228] had run[G5143], in[G1519]vain[G2756].
3But[G235]neither[G3761]Titus[G5103], who[G3588] was with[G4862]me[G1698], being[G5607] a Greek[G1672], was compelled[G315] to be circumcised[G4059]:
4And[G1161]that[G2443] because of[G1223] false brethren[G5569] unawares brought in[G3920], who[G3748] came in[G1722]privily[G3922] to spy out[G2684]our[G2257]liberty[G1657]which[G3739] we have[G2192]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424], that[G2443] they might bring[G2615]us[G2248] into bondage[G2615]:
5
To whom[G3739] we gave place[G1502] by subjection[G5292], no, not[G3761]for[G4314] an hour[G5610]; that[G2443] the truth[G225] of the gospel[G2098] might continue[G1265]with[G4314]you[G5209].
6But[G1161]of[G575] these who seemed[G1380] to be[G1511] somewhat,(whatsoever they were[G2258], it maketh[G1308]no[G3762]matter[G1308] to me[G3427]: God[G2316]accepteth[G2983]no[G3756] man's person[G4383]:) for[G1063] they who seemed[G1380] to be[G1511] somewhat in conference added[G4323]nothing[G3762] to me[G1698]:
7But[G235]contrariwise[G5121], when they saw[G1492]that[G3754] the gospel[G2098] of the uncircumcision[G203] was committed unto me[G4100], as[G2531] the gospel[G2098] of the circumcision[G4061] was unto Peter[G4074];
8
(For[G1063] he that wrought effectually[G1754] in Peter[G4074]to[G1519] the apostleship[G651] of the circumcision[G4061], the same[G2532] was mighty[G1754] in me[G1698]toward[G1519] the Gentiles[G1484]:)
9And[G2532] when James[G2385], Cephas[G2786], and[G1161]John[G2491], who[G3588]seemed[G1380] to be[G1511]pillars[G4769], perceived[G1097] the grace[G5485]that[G2443] was given[G1325]unto[G1519]me[G3427], they[G846]gave[G1325] to me[G1698]and[G1161]Barnabas[G921] the right hands[G1188] of fellowship[G2842]; that[G2443]we[G2249] should go unto[G1519] the heathen[G1484], and[G1161]they[G846]unto[G1519] the circumcision[G4061].
10Only[G3440] they would that[G2443] we should remember[G3421] the poor[G4434]; the same[G846]which[G3739]I[G4704]also[G2532] was forward[G4704] to do[G4160].
11But[G1161]when[G3753]Peter[G4074]was[G2258]come[G2064]to[G1519]Antioch[G490], I withstood[G436]him[G846]to[G2596] the face[G4383], because[G3754] he was[G2258]to[G2596] be blamed[G2607].
12For[G1063]before[G4253] that certain[G5100]came[G2064]from[G575]James[G2385], he did eat[G4906]with[G3326] the Gentiles[G1484]: but[G1161]when[G3753] they were come[G2064], he withdrew[G5288]and[G2532]separated[G873]himself[G1438], fearing[G5399] them which were of[G1537] the circumcision[G4061].
13And[G2532] the other[G3062]Jews[G2453]dissembled[G4942]likewise[G2532] with him[G846]; insomuch[G5620] that Barnabas[G921]also[G2532] was carried away[G4879] with their[G846]dissimulation[G5272].
14But[G235]when[G3753] I saw[G1492]that[G3754] they walked[G3716]not[G3756]uprightly[G3716] according to[G4314] the truth[G225] of the gospel[G2098], I said[G2036] unto Peter[G4074]before[G1715] them all[G3956], If[G1487]thou[G4771], being[G5225] a Jew[G2453], livest[G2198] after the manner of Gentiles[G1483], and[G2532]not[G3756] as do the Jews[G2452], why[G5101] compellest thou[G315] the Gentiles[G1484]to[G4314] live as do the Jews?[G2450]
15We[G2249] who are Jews[G2453] by nature[G5449], and[G2532]not[G3756]sinners[G268]of[G1537] the Gentiles[G1484],
16Knowing[G1492]that[G3754] a man[G444]is[G1344]not[G3756]justified[G1344]by[G1537] the works[G2041] of the law[G3551], but[G3362]by[G1223] the faith[G4102] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], even[G2532]we[G2249] have believed[G4100]in[G1519]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], that[G2443]we[G2249] might be justified[G1344]by[G1223] the faith[G4102] of Christ[G5547], and[G2532]not[G3756]by[G1223] the works[G2041] of the law[G3551]: for[G1360]by[G1223] the works[G2041] of the law[G3551]shall[G1344]no[G3756]flesh[G4561] be justified[G1344].
17But[G1161]if[G1487], while we[G2147]seek[G2212] to be justified[G1344]by[G1722]Christ[G5547], we[G2147]ourselves[G846]also[G2532] are found[G2147]sinners[G268], is therefore[G687]Christ[G5547] the minister[G1249] of sin?[G266] God forbid[G3361].
18For[G1063]if[G1487] I build[G3618]again[G3825] the things[G5023]which[G3739] I destroyed[G2647], I make[G4921]myself[G1683] a transgressor[G3848].
19For[G1063]I[G1473]through[G1223] the law[G3551] am dead[G599] to the law[G3551], that[G2443]I[G1473] might live[G2198] unto God[G2316].
20I[G1473] am crucified[G4957] with Christ[G5547]: nevertheless[G1161]I[G2198]live[G2198]; yet not[G3765]I[G2198], but[G1161]Christ[G5547]liveth[G2198]in[G1722]me[G1698]: and[G1161] the life which[G3739]I[G2198]now[G3568]live[G2198]in[G1722] the flesh[G4561]I[G2198]live[G2198]by[G1722] the faith[G4102] of the Son[G5207] of God[G2316], who[G3588]loved[G25]me[G3165], and[G2532]gave[G3860]himself[G1438]for[G5228]me[G1700].
21
I do[G114]not[G3756]frustrate[G114] the grace[G5485] of God[G2316]: for[G1063]if[G1487]righteousness[G1343] come by[G1223] the law[G3551], then[G686]Christ[G5547] is dead[G599] in vain[G1432].
