1Then fourteen years after I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.Select Galatians 2:1

2And I went by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run in vain.Select Galatians 2:2

3But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:Select Galatians 2:3

4And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:Select Galatians 2:4

5To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.Select Galatians 2:5

6But of these, who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed [to be somewhat], in conference added nothing to me:Select Galatians 2:6

7But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] to Peter;Select Galatians 2:7

8(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me towards the Gentiles:)Select Galatians 2:8

9And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.Select Galatians 2:9

10Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.Select Galatians 2:10

11But when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.Select Galatians 2:11

12For before that certain came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles: but when they had come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.Select Galatians 2:12

13And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.Select Galatians 2:13

14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?Select Galatians 2:14

15We [who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,Select Galatians 2:15

16Knowing 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 may 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.Select Galatians 2:16

17But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means.Select Galatians 2:17

18For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.Select Galatians 2:18

19For I through the law am dead to the law, that I may live to God.Select Galatians 2:19

20I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth 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.Select Galatians 2:20

21I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness is [attainable] by the law, then Christ hath died in vain.Select Galatians 2:21
