1
|
Then fourteen
years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus
with me also.
|
|
|
2
|
And I went up by
revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among
the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by
any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
|
|
3
|
But neither
Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
|
|
4
|
And that because
of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out
our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into
bondage:
|
|
5
|
To whom we gave
place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel
might continue with you.
|
|
6
|
But of these who
seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me:
God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in
conference added nothing to me:
|
|
7
|
But
contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was
committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
|
|
8
|
(For he that
wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the
same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
|
|
9
|
And when James,
Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was
given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of
fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the
circumcision.
|
|
10
|
Only they would
that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to
do.
|
|
11
|
But when Peter
was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be
blamed.
|
|
12
|
For before that
certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they
were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of
the circumcision.
|
|
13
|
And the other
Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was
carried away with their dissimulation.
|
|
14
|
But when I saw
that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I
said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the
manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the
Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
|
|
15
|
We who are Jews
by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
|
|
16
|
Knowing that a
man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus
Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be
justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for
by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
|
|
17
|
But if, while we
seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is
therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
|
|
18
|
For if I build
again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
|
|
19
|
For I through the law am dead to the law, that
I might live unto God.
|
|
20
|
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I
live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live
in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me.
|
|
21
|
I do not
frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then
Christ is dead in vain.
