1 T hen, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;

Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with;

2 a nd I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous, lest in any way I run or had run in vain;

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

(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised;)

4 a nd because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

and on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

5 t o whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

6 A nd from those who were esteemed to be something -- whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me -- the face of man God accepteth not, for -- to me those esteemed did add nothing,

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat—whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

7 b ut, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with of the circumcision,

but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,

8 f or He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,

(for he that wrought in Peter for apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles,)

9 a nd having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision,

and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas right hands of fellowship, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision;

10 o nly, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent -- this very thing -- to do.

only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.

11 A nd when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to face, because he was to be condemned:

12 f or before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,

for before that certain came from James, he ate with the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of circumcision;

13 a nd dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.

14 B ut when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, `If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

15 w e by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,

We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of nations,

16 h aving known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

17 A nd if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!

Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

18 f or if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;

For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.

19 f or I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.

20 w ith Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

21 I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness through law -- then Christ died in vain.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
