Chapter 2
Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with
Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. And I went up by revelation; and I laid
before them the ^1 gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately
before them who ^2 were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or
had run, in vain. But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was
compelled to be circumcised: ^3 and that because of the false brethren privily
brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ
Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: to whom we gave place in the way
of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the ^1 gospel might
continue with you. But from those who ^2 were reputed to be somewhat ( ^4
whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man's
person) - they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me: but
contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the ^1 gospel of
the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the ^1 gospel of the circumcision (for
he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for
me also unto the Gentiles); and when they perceived the grace that was given
unto me, ^5 James and Cephas and John, they who ^2 were reputed to be pillars,
gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto
the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision; only they would that we should
remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he
stood condemned. For before that certain came from James, he ate with the
Gentiles; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them
that were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise
with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their
dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the
truth of the ^1 gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a
Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou
the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We being Jews by nature, and not sinners
of the Gentiles, yet knowing that a man is not ^6 justified by the works of
the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus,
that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the
law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if,
while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found
sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build up again
those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor. For I through
the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God. I have been crucified
with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and
that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in
the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. I do not make void
the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died
for nought.
[Footnote 6: Or, accounted righteous: and so elsewhere. Comp. Rom. 2. 13.]
