Galatians 2:9 - Prayer Tents

The Council at Jerusalem

2Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.G1899G1180G2094G1223G305G3825G1519G2414G3326G921G4838G5103G4838G2532 2And it was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but [I did so] in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.G1161G305G2596G602G2532G394G846G2098G3739G2784G1722G1484G1161G2596G2398G1380G3381G4458G5143G2228G5143G1519G2756 3But not even Titus who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.G235G3761G5103G3588G4862G1698G5607G1672G315G4059 4But [it was] because of the false brethren who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.G1161G1223G5569G3920G3748G3922G2684G2257G1657G3739G2192G1722G5547G2424G2443G2615G2248G2615 5But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.G3739G1502G5292G3761G4314G5610G2443G225G2098G1265G4314G5209 6But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)— well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me.G1161G575G1380G1511G5100G3697G4218G2258G1308G3762G1308G3427G2316G2983G3756G444G4383G1063G1380G4323G3762G1698 7But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter [had been] to the circumcisedG235G5121G1492G3754G2098G203G4100G2531G4061G4074 8(for He who effectually worked for Peter in [his] apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),G1063G1754G4074G1519G651G4061G2532G1754G1698G1519G1484 9and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we [might go] to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.G2532G2385G2532G2786G2532G2491G3588G1380G1511G4769G1097G5485G1325G3427G1325G1698G2532G921G1188G2842G2443G2249G1519G1484G1161G846G1519G4061 10[They] only [asked] us to remember the poor— the very thing I also was eager to do.G3440G2443G3421G4434G846G5124G3739G4704G2532G4704G4160

Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul

11But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.G1161G3753G4074G2064G1519G490G436G846G2596G4383G3754G2258G2607 12For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he [began] to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision.G1063G4253G5100G2064G575G2385G4906G3326G1484G1161G3753G2064G5288G2532G873G1438G5399G1537G4061 13And the rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.G2532G3062G2453G4942G2532G846G5620G921G2532G4879G846G5272 14But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, "If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how [is it that] you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?G235G3753G1492G3754G3716G3756G3716G4314G225G2098G2036G4074G1715G3956G1487G4771G5225G2453G2198G1483G2532G3756G2452G5101G315G1484G2450 15"We [are] Jews by nature, and not sinners from among the Gentiles;G2249G2453G5449G2532G3756G268G1537G1484 16nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.G1492G3754G444G1344G3756G1344G1537G2041G3551G3362G1223G4102G2424G5547G2532G2249G4100G1519G2424G5547G2443G1344G1537G4102G5547G2532G3756G1537G2041G3551G1360G1537G2041G3551G1344G3756G3956G4561G1344 17"But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be!G1161G1487G2212G1344G1722G5547G2147G846G2532G2147G268G687G5547G1249G266G3361G1096 18"For if I rebuild what I have [once] destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor.G1063G1487G3618G3825G5023G3739G2647G4921G1683G3848 19"For through the Law I died to the Law, that I might live to God.G1063G1473G1223G3551G599G3551G2443G2198G2316 20"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.G4957G5547G1161G2198G3765G1473G1161G5547G2198G1722G1698G1161G3739G2198G3568G2198G1722G4561G2198G1722G4102G5207G2316G3588G25G3165G2532G3860G1438G5228G1700 21"I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness [comes] through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."G114G3756G114G5485G2316G1063G1487G1343G1223G3551G686G5547G599G1432
