2Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me.G1899G1180G2094G1223G305G3825G1519G2414G3326G921G4838G5103G4838G2532 2And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain.G1161G305G2596G602G2532G394G846G2098G3739G2784G1722G1484G1161G2596G2398G1380G3381G4458G5143G2228G5143G1519G2756 3Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.G235G3761G5103G3588G4862G1698G5607G1672G315G4059 4And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),G1161G1223G5569G3920G3748G3922G2684G2257G1657G3739G2192G1722G5547G2424G2443G2615G2248G2615 5to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.G3739G1502G5292G3761G4314G5610G2443G225G2098G1265G4314G5209 6But from those who seemed to be something—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man—for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me.G1161G575G1380G1511G5100G3697G4218G2258G1308G3762G1308G3427G2316G2983G3756G444G4383G1063G1380G4323G3762G1698 7But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to PeterG235G5121G1492G3754G2098G203G4100G2531G4061G4074 8(for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),G1063G1754G4074G1519G651G4061G2532G1754G1698G1519G1484 9and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.G2532G2385G2532G2786G2532G2491G3588G1380G1511G4769G1097G5485G1325G3427G1325G1698G2532G921G1188G2842G2443G2249G1519G1484G1161G846G1519G4061 10They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I also was eager to do.G3440G2443G3421G4434G846G5124G3739G4704G2532G4704G4160 11Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;G1161G3753G4074G2064G1519G490G436G846G2596G4383G3754G2258G2607 12for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.G1063G4253G5100G2064G575G2385G4906G3326G1484G1161G3753G2064G5288G2532G873G1438G5399G1537G4061 13And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.G2532G3062G2453G4942G2532G846G5620G921G2532G4879G846G5272 14But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?G235G3753G1492G3754G3716G3756G3716G4314G225G2098G2036G4074G1715G3956G1487G4771G5225G2453G2198G1483G2532G3756G2452G5101G315G1484G2450 15"We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,G2249G2453G5449G2532G3756G268G1537G1484 16"knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.G1492G3754G444G1344G3756G1344G1537G2041G3551G3362G1223G4102G2424G5547G2532G2249G4100G1519G2424G5547G2443G1344G1537G4102G5547G2532G3756G1537G2041G3551G1360G1537G2041G3551G1344G3756G3956G4561G1344 17"But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!G1161G1487G2212G1344G1722G5547G2147G846G2532G2147G268G687G5547G1249G266G3361G1096 18"For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.G1063G1487G3618G3825G5023G3739G2647G4921G1683G3848 19"For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God.G1063G1473G1223G3551G599G3551G2443G2198G2316 20"I have been crucified with Christ; 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 gave Himself for me.G4957G5547G1161G2198G3765G1473G1161G5547G2198G1722G1698G1161G3739G2198G3568G2198G1722G4561G2198G1722G4102G5207G2316G3588G25G3165G2532G3860G1438G5228G1700 21"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."G114G3756G114G5485G2316G1063G1487G1343G1223G3551G686G5547G599G1432
