Gal. 2
:1
2:1
Then 1after a period of fourteen years I
awent up again to Jerusalem with
bBarnabas, taking
cTitus with
me also.
Gal. 2
:2
2:2
And I went up according to
1arevelation, and I laid before them the gospel which I proclaim among the
bGentiles, but privately to those who were of
crepute,
dlest perhaps I should be
erunning, or had run, in vain.
Gal. 2
:3
2:3
But 1not even Titus, who was with me, though he is a Greek, was compelled to be
2acircumcised;
Gal. 2
:4
2:4
And this, because of the
1afalse brothers, brought in
bsecretly, who stole in to spy out our
2cfreedom which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into
3dslavery.
Gal. 2
:5
2:5
To them we yielded with the subjection
demanded not even for an hour, that the
1atruth of the gospel might remain with you.
Gal. 2
:6
2:6
But from those who were
areputed to be something — whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does
bnot accept man's person; for to me those who were of repute added nothing.
Gal. 2
:7
2:7
But on the contrary, seeing that I had been
aentrusted with the gospel to the
buncircumcision, even as
cPeter with the gospel to the circumcision,
Gal. 2
:8
2:8
(For He who operated in Peter for the
aapostleship to the circumcision operated also in me for the
bGentiles),
Gal. 2
:9
2:9
And perceiving the
agrace given to me,
1bJames and
cCephas and
dJohn, who were
ereputed to be
fpillars, gave to me and to
gBarnabas the right
hhand of
ifellowship that we
should go to the Gentiles, and they, to the circumcision.
Gal. 2
:10
2:10
Only they requested that we remember the
apoor, which very thing I
bwas also eager to do.
B.
Christ replacing the law
2:11-21
Gal. 2
:11
2:11
But when
aCephas came to
bAntioch, I opposed him to
his face because he stood condemned.
Gal. 2
:12
2:12
For before some came
1from aJames, he
2continually bate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to shrink back and separate himself,
3fearing those of the
ccircumcision.
Gal. 2
:13
2:13
And the
1rest of the Jews also joined him in this
2hypocrisy, so that even
3aBarnabas was carried away in their hypocrisy.
Gal. 2
:14
2:14
But when I saw that they were not
1walking in a
astraightforward way in relation to the
btruth of the gospel, I said to
cCephas dbefore them all, If you, being a Jew,
2elive like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to
3flive like the Jews?
Gal. 2
:15
2:15
We are
aJews by nature and not
bsinners from among the Gentiles;
Gal. 2
:16
2:16
And knowing that a man is not justified out of works of
alaw, but through
1bfaith in Jesus Christ, we also have believed into Christ Jesus that we might be justified out of faith in Christ and not out of the works of law, because out of the works of law
cno 2flesh will be justified.
Gal. 2
:17
2:17
But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also have been found
asinners, is then Christ a
1minister of sin?
2bAbsolutely not!
Gal. 2
:18
2:18
For if I
1build again the things which I have
2destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor.
Gal. 2
:19
2:19
For I
1through law have
2adied to law that I might
3blive to God.
Gal. 2
:20
2:20
I am
1acrucified with Christ; and
it is 2no longer I
who live, but
it is 3bChrist who lives in me; and the
4life which I now live in the flesh I
clive in
5faith, the
dfaith 6of the
7Son of God, who
8eloved me and
fgave Himself up for me.
Gal. 2
:21
2:21
I do not nullify the
1agrace of God; for if
2brighteousness is through law, then
cChrist has died
3for nothing.
