1 ¶ Then fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas and took Titus with me also.

Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

2 B ut I went up by revelation and communicated unto them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who seemed to be of repute, to not run, or have run, in vain.

And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.

3 B ut not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised,

But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

4 A nd that in spite of the false brethren, who entered secretly to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus that they might bring us into bondage;

and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

5 U nto whom we did not submit even for one hour that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

6 B ut of these who seemed to be of repute, (whatever they were, it makes no matter to me: God does not accept the appearance of men), for those who seemed to be of repute in conference added nothing to me;

But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man's person)-- they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:

7 B ut to the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter

but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the gospel of the circumcision

8 ( for he that showed himself forth in Peter for apostleship of the circumcision, the same also showed himself forth in me toward the Gentiles);

(for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);

9 a nd 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 hand of fellowship that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision.

and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed 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;

10 O nly they asked that we should remember the poor; the same which I was also diligent to do.

only they would that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.

11 ¶ But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face because he was to be blamed.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.

12 F or before certain ones came from James, he ate with the Gentiles, but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

For before that certain came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision.

13 A nd the other Jews dissembled likewise with him, insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their hypocrisy.

And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

14 B ut when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, dost live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

15 W e who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

16 k nowing 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.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

17 B ut if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of our sin? No, in no wise.

But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.

18 F or if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a rebel.

For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.

19 F or through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.

20 I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives 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.

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

21 I do not reject the grace of God, for if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.
