Galatians 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.	1 Next, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, taking with me Barnabas and Titus.
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.	2 And I went up according to revelation, and I debated with them about the Gospel that I am preaching among the Gentiles, but away from those who were pretending to be something, lest perhaps I might run, or have run, in vain.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:	3 But even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Gentile, was not 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:	4 but only because of false brothers, who were brought in unknowingly. They entered secretly to spy on our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might reduce us to servitude.
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.	5 We did not yield to them in subjection, even for an hour, in order that the truth of the Gospel would remain 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:	6 and away from those who were pretending to be something. (Whatever they might have been once, it means nothing to me. God does not accept the reputation of a man.) And those who were claiming to be something had nothing to offer 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;	7 But it was to the contrary, since they had seen that the Gospel to the uncircumcised was entrusted to me, just as the Gospel to the circumcised was entrusted to Peter.
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)	8 For he who was working the Apostleship to the circumcised in Peter, was also working in me among 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.	9 And so, when they had acknowledged the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed like pillars, gave to me and to Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we would go to the Gentiles, while they went to the circumcised,
10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.	10 asking only that we should be mindful of the poor, which was the very thing that I also was solicitous to do.
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.	11 But when Cephas had arrived at Antioch, I stood against him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
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.	12 For before certain ones arrived from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they had arrived, he drew apart and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.	13 And the other Jews consented to his pretense, so that even Barnabas was led by them into that falseness.
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?	14 But when I had seen that they were not walking correctly, by the truth of the Gospel, I said to Cephas in front of everyone: “If you, while you are a Jew, are living like the Gentiles and not the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to keep the customs of the Jews?”
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,	15 By nature, we are Jews, and not of the Gentiles, sinners.
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.	16 And we know that man is not justified by the works of the law, but only by the faith of Jesus Christ. And so we believe in Christ Jesus, in order that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law. For no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
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.	17 But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are also found to be sinners, would then Christ be the minister of sin? Let it not be so!
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.	18 For if I rebuild the things that I have destroyed, I establish myself as a prevaricator.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.	19 For through the law, I have become dead to the law, so that I may live for God. I have been nailed to the cross with Christ.
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.	20 I live; yet now, it is not I, but truly Christ, who lives in me. And though I live now in the flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and who delivered 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.	21 I do not reject the grace of God. For if justice is through the law, then Christ died in vain.
