Galatians 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.	1 Next, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, taking with me Barnabas and Titus.
2 And I went up according to revelation; and communicated to them the gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles, but apart to them who seemed to be some thing: lest perhaps 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 Gentile, 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 But because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude.	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 yielded not 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 them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time, it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man,) for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing.	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 had seen that to me was committed the gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the circumcision.	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 who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought in me also among 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 they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed 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:	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 that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful 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 Cephas 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 some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who 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 to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that 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 unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel 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 by nature are Jews, and not of the Gentiles sinners.	15 By nature, we are Jews, and not of the Gentiles, sinners.
16 But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall 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 in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners; is Christ then 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 up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator.	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 may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross.	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 And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered 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 cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.	21 I do not reject the grace of God. For if justice is through the law, then Christ died in vain.
