The
Council at Jerusalem |
|
|
 |
|
Galatians 2:1
|
|
Then after an interval of fourteen years I went
up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. |
|
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:2
|
|
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. |
| |
|
|
|
Galatians 2:3
|
|
But not even Titus, who was with me, though
he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. |
| |
|
|
|
Galatians 2:4
|
|
But it was because of the false brethren secretly
brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ
Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. |
| |
|
|
|
Galatians 2:5
|
|
But we did not yield in subjection to them for
even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. |
| |
|
|
|
Galatians 2:6
|
|
But 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. |
| |
|
|
|
Galatians 2:7
|
|
But on the contrary, seeing that I had been
entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the
circumcised |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:8
|
|
(for He who effectually worked for Peter in
his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),
|
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:9
|
|
and 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, so that we might go to the Gentiles and
they to the circumcised. |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:10
|
|
They only asked us to remember the poor--the
very thing I also was eager to do. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:11
|
|
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him
to his face, because he stood condemned. |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:12
|
|
For 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. |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:13
|
|
The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy,
with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:14
|
|
But 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? |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:15
|
|
"We are Jews by nature and not sinners from
among the Gentiles; |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:16
|
|
nevertheless 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, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the
works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:17
|
|
"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! |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:18
|
|
"For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed,
I prove myself to be a transgressor. |
|
|
|
|
Galatians 2:19
|
|
"For through the Law I died to the Law, so that
I might live to God. |
| |
|
|
|
Galatians 2:20
|
|
"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 gave Himself up
for me. |
| |
|
|
|
Galatians 2:21
|
|
"I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness
comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly." |
