Galatians 2:1 (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 ADV fourteen G1180 A-GPN years G2094 N-GPN after G1223 PREP I went up G305 V-2AAI-1S again G3825 ADV to G1519 PREP Jerusalem G2414 N-ASF with G3326 PREP Barnabas G921 N-GSM , and took Titus with V-2AAP-NSM me also G2532 CONJ .
2 And G1161 CONJ I went up G305 V-2AAI-1S by G2596 PREP revelation G602 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ communicated G394 V-2AMI-1S unto them G3588 T-ASN that gospel G2098 N-ASN which G3739 R-ASN I preach G2784 V-PAI-1S among G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DPN Gentiles G1484 N-DPN , but G1161 CONJ privately G2596 PREP to them which were of reputation G1380 V-PAP-DPM , lest by any means G3381 CONJ I should run G5143 V-PAS-1S , or G2228 PRT had run G5143 V-2AAI-1S , in G1519 PREP vain G2756 A-ASM .
3 But G235 CONJ neither G3761 ADV Titus G5103 N-NSM , who G3588 T-NSM was with G4862 PREP me G1698 P-1DS , being G5607 V-PXP-NSM a Greek G1672 N-NSM , was compelled G315 V-API-3S to be circumcised G4059 V-APN :
4 And G1161 CONJ that because G1223 PREP of G3588 T-APM false brethren G5569 N-APM unawares brought in G3920 A-APM , who G3748 R-NPM came in privily G3922 V-2AAI-3P to spy out G2684 V-AAN our G3588 T-ASF liberty G1657 N-ASF which G3739 R-ASF we have G2192 V-PAI-1P in G1722 PREP Christ G5547 N-DSM Jesus G2424 N-DSM , that G2443 CONJ they might bring us into bondage G2615 V-AMS-3P :
5 To whom G3739 R-DPM we G3588 T-DSF gave place G1502 V-AAI-1P by subjection G5292 N-DSF , no , not G3761 ADV for G4314 PREP an hour G5610 N-ASF ; that G2443 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF truth G225 N-NSF of G3588 T-GSN the G3588 T-GSN gospel G2098 N-GSN might continue G1265 V-AAS-3S with G4314 PREP you G5209 P-2AP .
6 But G1161 CONJ of G575 PREP these G3588 T-GPM who seemed G1380 V-PAP-GPM to be G1511 V-PXN somewhat G5100 X-NSN , ( A-NPM whatsoever G3697 A-NPM they were G2258 V-IXI-3P , it maketh no matter G1308 V-PAI-3S to me G3427 P-1DS : God G2316 N-NSM accepteth G2983 V-PAI-3S no G3756 PRT-N man G444 N-GSM \'s person G4383 N-ASN : ) for G3588 T-NPM they who seemed G1380 V-PAP-NPM to be somewhat in conference added G4323 V-2AMI-3P nothing G3762 A-NSN to me G1698 P-1DS :
7 But G235 CONJ contrariwise G5121 ADV-C , when they saw G1492 V-2AAP-NPM that G3754 CONJ the G3588 T-ASN gospel G2098 N-ASN of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF uncircumcision G203 N-GSF was committed G4100 V-RPI-1S unto me , as G2531 ADV the gospel of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF circumcision G4061 N-GSF was unto Peter G4074 N-NSM ;
8 ( CONJ For CONJ he that wrought effectually G1754 V-AAP-NSM in Peter G4074 N-DSM to G1519 PREP the apostleship G651 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF circumcision G4061 N-GSF , the same was mighty G1754 V-AAI-3S in G2532 CONJ me G1698 P-1DS toward G1519 PREP the G3588 T-APN Gentiles G1484 N-APN : )
9 And G2532 CONJ when James G2385 N-NSM , Cephas G2786 N-NSM , and G2532 CONJ John G2491 N-NSM , who seemed G1380 V-PAP-NPM to be G1511 V-PXN pillars G4769 N-NPM , perceived G1097 V-2AAP-NPM the G3588 T-ASF grace G5485 N-ASF that was given G1325 V-APP-ASF unto me G3427 P-1DS , they gave G1325 V-AAI-3P to me G1698 P-1DS and G2532 CONJ Barnabas G921 N-DSM the right hands G1188 A-APF of fellowship G2842 N-GSF ; that G2443 CONJ we G2249 P-1NP should go unto G1519 PREP the G3588 T-APN heathen G1484 N-APN , and G1161 CONJ they G846 P-NPM unto G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASF circumcision G4061 N-ASF .
10 Only G3440 ADV they would that G2443 CONJ we should remember G3421 V-PAS-1P the G3588 T-GPM poor G4434 A-GPM ; the same G846 P-ASN which G3739 R-ASN I also G2532 CONJ was forward G4704 V-AAI-1S to do G4160 V-AAN .
11 But G1161 CONJ when G3753 ADV Peter G4074 N-NSM was come G2064 V-2AAI-3S to G1519 PREP Antioch G490 N-ASF , I withstood G436 V-2AAI-1S him G846 P-DSM to G2596 PREP the face G4383 N-ASN , because G3754 CONJ he was G2258 V-IXI-3S to be blamed G2607 V-RPP-NSM .
12 For G1063 CONJ before that certain G5100 X-APM came G2064 V-2AAN from G575 PREP James G2385 N-GSM , he did eat G4906 V-IAI-3S with G3326 PREP the G3588 T-GPN Gentiles G1484 N-GPN : but G1161 CONJ when G3753 ADV they were come G2064 V-2AAI-3P , he withdrew G5288 V-IAI-3S and G2532 CONJ separated G873 V-IAI-3S himself G1438 F-3ASM , fearing G5399 V-PNP-NSM them G3588 T-APM which were of G1537 PREP the circumcision G4061 N-GSF .
13 And G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NPM other G3062 A-NPM Jews G2453 A-NPM dissembled likewise with V-API-3P him G846 P-DSM ; insomuch that G5620 CONJ Barnabas G921 N-NSM also G2532 CONJ was carried away with G4879 V-API-3S their G3588 T-DSF dissimulation G5272 N-DSF .
14 But G235 CONJ when G3753 ADV I saw G1492 V-2AAI-1S that G3754 CONJ they walked not uprightly G3716 V-PAI-3P according G4314 PREP to the G3588 T-ASF truth G225 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSN the G3588 T-GSN gospel G2098 N-GSN , I G3588 T-DSM said G2036 V-2AAI-1S unto Peter G4074 N-DSM before G1715 PREP them all G3956 A-GPM , If G1487 COND thou G4771 P-2NS , being G5225 V-PAP-NSM a Jew G2453 A-NSM , livest G2198 V-PAI-2S after the manner of Gentiles G1483 ADV , and G2532 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N as do the Jews G2452 ADV , why G5101 I-ASN compellest G315 V-PAI-2S thou the G3588 T-APN Gentiles G1484 N-APN to live as do the Jews G2450 V-PAN ?
15 We G2249 P-1NP who are Jews G2453 A-NPM by nature G5449 N-DSF , and G2532 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N sinners G268 A-NPM of G1537 PREP the Gentiles G1484 N-GPN ,

17 But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND , while we seek G2212 V-PAP-NPM to be justified G1344 V-APN by G1722 PREP Christ G5547 N-DSM , we G846 P-NPM ourselves also G2532 CONJ are found G2147 V-API-1P sinners G268 A-NPM , is therefore G687 PRT-I Christ G5547 N-NSM the minister G1249 N-NSM of sin G266 N-GSF ? God forbid G1096 V-2ADO-3S .
18 For G1063 CONJ if G1487 COND I build G3618 V-PAI-1S again G3825 ADV the things G5023 D-APN which G3739 R-APN I destroyed G2647 V-AAI-1S , I make G4921 V-PAI-1S myself G1683 F-1ASM a transgressor G3848 N-ASM .
19 For G1063 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS through G1223 PREP the law G3551 N-GSM am dead G599 V-2AAI-1S to the law G3551 N-DSM , that G2443 CONJ I might live G2198 V-AAS-1S unto God G2316 N-DSM .
