1 Then through fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken as a companion also Titus.
2 I went up but according to a revelation, and submitted to them the glad tidings which I publish among the Gentiles; by private but to those appearing somewhat, lest for a vain thing I should run, or had run.
3 But not even Titus he with me, a Greek being, was under a necessity to be circumcised.
4 On account of but the secretly introduced false brethren; (who stole in to have spied out the freedom of us which we hold in Anointed Jesus, so that us they might enslave;)
5 to whom not even for an hour we yielded by the submission, in order that the truth of the glad tidings might remain throughout with you.
6 From but of those appearing to be something, of what sort once they were, nothing to me it brings; (a face God of a man not accepts;) to me for those appearing somewhat nothing communicated,
7 but on the contrary, seeing, that I have been entrusted with the glad tidings of the uncircumcision, even as Peter of the circumcision,
8 (he for having inwardly wrought in Peter for an apostleship of the circumcision, inwardly wrought also in me for the Gentiles,)
9 and having perceived the favor that having been given to me, James and Cephas and John, those seeming pillars to be, right hands they gave to me and Barnabas of fellowship, that we indeed for the Gentiles, they but for the circumcision;
10 only of the poor ones that we should be mindful; which also I strove earnestly same thing this to have done.
11 When but came Peter to Antioch, before face to him I opposed, because having been blamed he was.
12 Before of the for to have come some from James, with the Gentiles he was eating; when but they come, he was withdrawing and was separating himself, fearing those of circumcision.
13 And dissembled with him also the other Jews; so that even Barnabas was led astray of them by the hypocrisy,
14 But when I saw, that not they walk straight with respect to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to the Peter in presence of all: If thou, a Jew being, like Gentiles thou livest and not like Jews, how the Gentiles dost thou compel to Judaize.
15 We by nature Jews, and not of Gentiles sinners;
16 knowing and, that not is justified a man by works of law, if not on account of faith of Jesus Anointed; and we into Anointed Jesus believed, so that we may be justified by faith of Anointed, and not by works of law; because by works of law not will be justified all flesh.
17 If but seeking to have been justified in Anointed we were found even we ourselves sinners, then Anointed of sin a servant? Not let it be.
18 If for what I pull down, these things again I build, a transgressor myself I constitute.
19 I for on account of law by law died so that by God I may live.
20 With Anointed I have been crucified; I live but, no longer I, lives but in me Anointed; the but now I live in flesh, by faith I live in the of that son of the God, of that having loved me and having delivered up himself in behalf of me.
21 Not I set aside the favor of the God; if for through law justification, then Anointed without cause died.
1 Fourteen years later I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus with me also.
2 I went in response to a revelation. I demonstrated to them the way I spread the good news among the people of the nations. I did this privately before them for they have a reputation. I am concerned that by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.
3 Titus was with me and he was not persuaded to be circumcised. He is a Greek.
4 This occurred because of the false brothers brought in secretly. They came to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus. This was so they might bring us into bondage.
5 We did not yield to them for a moment or an hour! That way the truth of the good news the whole body of Christian teachings might continue with you.
6 Those who were recognized as important people did not add a single thing to my message. What sort of people they were makes no difference to me. God does not play favorites show partiality.
7 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the good news to people who are not circumcised. Just as Peter had been entrusted with the good news to the people who are circumcised.
8 The one who made Peter an apostle to the Jewish people who are circumcised also made me an apostle to the people of the nations who are not circumcised.
9 When they saw the grace that was given to me, James, Cephas Peter and John, they who were known to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship. We were to go to the nations and they were to go to the people who are circumcised.
10 They wanted us to remember the poor. I was eager zealous to do this very thing.
11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I openly resisted him because he was completely wrong.
12 He ate with the people of the nations until some men James sent arrived. When they arrived, he drew back and separated himself. He feared those who were of the circumcised people.
13 The rest of the Jews were hypocrites with him, so much that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
14 I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the good news. Therefore I said to Cephas, in front of them all: »If you, being a Jew, live as the nations do and not as the Jews, why do you compel the people of the nations to live like the Jews?«
15 We are Jews by birth, and not sinners from the nations.
16 Yet we know that a man is not righteous by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. We believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be righteous by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law. The works of the law justify no one.
17 We sought to be righteous in Christ. And we were found to be sinners. Is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.
18 If I build up again the things that I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.
19 I, through the law, died to the law that I might live to for God.
20 I have been impaled with Christ. It is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh physical body I live by faith. This is the faith that is in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself up for me.
21 I do not reject the grace totally undeserved gift of God: for if righteousness is gained through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
