Galatians 2 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then fourteen years later I went back to Jerusalem again, this time with Barnabas; and Titus came along, too.
2 I went there because God revealed to me that I should go. While I was there I met privately with those considered to be leaders of the church and shared with them the message I had been preaching to the Gentiles. I wanted to make sure that we were in agreement, for fear that all my efforts had been wasted and I was running the race for nothing.
3 And they supported me and did not even demand that my companion Titus be circumcised, though he was a Gentile.
4 Even that question came up only because of some so-called Christians there-- false ones, really-- who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.
5 But we refused to give in to them for a single moment. We wanted to preserve the truth of the gospel message for you.
6 And the leaders of the church had nothing to add to what I was preaching. (By the way, their reputation as great leaders made no difference to me, for God has no favorites.)
7 Instead, they saw that God had given me the responsibility of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as he had given Peter the responsibility of preaching to the Jews.
8 For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles.
9 In fact, James, Peter, and John, who were known as pillars of the church, recognized the gift God had given me, and they accepted Barnabas and me as their co-workers. They encouraged us to keep preaching to the Gentiles, while they continued their work with the Jews.
10 Their only suggestion was that we keep on helping the poor, which I have always been eager to do.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong.
12 When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision.
13 As a result, other Jewish Christians followed Peter's hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
14 When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, "Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?
15 "You and I are Jews by birth, not 'sinners' like the Gentiles.
16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law."
17 But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not!
18 Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down.
19 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law-- I stopped trying to meet all its requirements-- so that I might live for God.
20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.
1 Then G1899 fourteen G1180 years G2094 after G1223 I went up G305 again G3825 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 with G3326 Barnabas, G921 and took Titus with G4838 G5103 me also. G2532
2 And G1161 I went up G305 by G2596 revelation, G602 and G2532 communicated G394 unto them G846 that gospel G2098 which G3739 I preach G2784 among G1722 the G3588 Gentiles, G1484 but G1161 privately G2596 G2398 to them which were of reputation, G1380 lest by any means G3381 I should run, G5143 or G2228 had run, G5143 in G1519 vain. G2756
3 But G235 neither G3761 Titus, G5103 who G3588 was with G4862 me, G1698 being G5607 a Greek, G1672 was compelled G315 to be circumcised: G4059
4 And G1161 that because G1223 of false brethren G5569 unawares brought in, G3920 who G3748 came in privily G3922 to spy out G2684 our G2257 liberty G1657 which G3739 we have G2192 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 that G2443 they might bring us into bondage G2615 G2248 :
5 To whom G3739 we gave place G1502 by subjection, G5292 no, not G3761 for G4314 an hour; G5610 that G2443 the G3588 truth G225 of the G3588 gospel G2098 might continue G1265 with G4314 you. G5209
6 But G1161 of G575 these G3588 who seemed G1380 to be G1511 somewhat, G5100 ( whatsoever G3697 G4218 they were, G2258 it maketh no matter G1308 G3762 to me: G3427 God G2316 accepteth G2983 no G3756 man's G444 person: G4383 ) for G1063 they who seemed G1380 to be somewhat in conference added G4323 nothing G3762 to me: G1698
7 But G235 contrariwise, G5121 when they saw G1492 that G3754 the G3588 gospel G2098 of the G3588 uncircumcision G203 was committed G4100 unto me, as G2531 the gospel of the G3588 circumcision G4061 was unto Peter; G4074
8 ( For G1063 he that wrought effectually G1754 in Peter G4074 to G1519 the apostleship G651 of the G3588 circumcision, G4061 the same was mighty G1754 in G2532 me G1698 toward G1519 the G3588 Gentiles: G1484 )
9 And G2532 when James G2385 G2532 , Cephas, G2786 and G2532 John, G2491 who seemed G1380 to be G1511 pillars, G4769 perceived G1097 the G3588 grace G5485 that was given G1325 unto me, G3427 they gave G1325 to me G1698 and G2532 Barnabas G921 the right hands G1188 of fellowship; G2842 that G2443 we G2249 should go unto G1519 the G3588 heathen, G1484 and G1161 they G846 unto G1519 the G3588 circumcision. G4061
10 Only G3440 they would that G2443 we should remember G3421 the G3588 poor; G4434 the same G846 G5124 which G3739 I also G2532 was forward G4704 to do. G4160
11 But G1161 when G3753 Peter G4074 was come G2064 to G1519 Antioch, G490 I withstood G436 him G846 to G2596 the face, G4383 because G3754 he was G2258 to be blamed. G2607
12 For G1063 before that certain G5100 came G2064 from G575 James, G2385 he did eat G4906 with G3326 the G3588 Gentiles: G1484 but G1161 when G3753 they were come, G2064 he withdrew G5288 and G2532 separated G873 himself, G1438 fearing G5399 them G3588 which were of G1537 the circumcision. G4061
13 And G2532 the G3588 other G3062 Jews G2453 dissembled likewise with G4942 G2532 him; G846 insomuch that G5620 Barnabas G921 also G2532 was carried away with G4879 their G846 dissimulation. G5272
14 But G235 when G3753 I saw G1492 that G3754 they walked not uprightly G3716 G3756 according G4314 to the G3588 truth G225 of the G3588 gospel, G2098 I said G2036 unto Peter G4074 before G1715 them all, G3956 If G1487 thou, G4771 being G5225 a Jew, G2453 livest G2198 after the manner of Gentiles, G1483 and G2532 not G3756 as do the Jews, G2452 why G5101 compellest G315 thou the G3588 Gentiles G1484 to live as do the Jews G2450 ?
15 We G2249 who are Jews G2453 by nature, G5449 and G2532 not G3756 sinners G268 of G1537 the Gentiles, G1484
16 Knowing G1492 that G3754 a man G444 is not G3756 justified G1344 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law, G3551 but G3362 by G1223 the faith G4102 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 even G2532 we G2249 have believed G4100 in G1519 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that G2443 we might be justified G1344 by G1537 the faith G4102 of Christ, G5547 and G2532 not G3756 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law: G3551 for G1360 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law G3551 shall no G3756 flesh G4561 be justified. G1344
17 But G1161 if, G1487 while we seek G2212 to be justified G1344 by G1722 Christ, G5547 we G846 ourselves also G2532 are found G2147 sinners, G268 is therefore G687 Christ G5547 the minister G1249 of sin G266 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 .
18 For G1063 if G1487 I build G3618 again G3825 the things G5023 which G3739 I destroyed, G2647 I make G4921 myself G1683 a transgressor. G3848
19 For G1063 I G1473 through G1223 the law G3551 am dead G599 to the law, G3551 that G2443 I might live G2198 unto God. G2316
20 I am crucified with G4957 Christ: G5547 nevertheless G1161 I live; G2198 yet not G3765 I, G1473 but G1161 Christ G5547 liveth G2198 in G1722 me: G1698 and G1161 the life which G3739 I now G3568 live G2198 in G1722 the flesh G4561 I live G2198 by G1722 the faith G4102 of G3588 the G3588 Son G5207 of God, G2316 who loved G25 me, G3165 and G2532 gave G3860 himself G1438 for G5228 me. G1700
21 I do not G3756 frustrate G114 the G3588 grace G5485 of God: G2316 for G1063 if G1487 righteousness G1343 come by G1223 the law, G3551 then G686 Christ G5547 is dead G599 in vain. G1432
