1. Then after fourteen years I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, taking Titus along too.
|
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. I went there because of a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so only in a private meeting with the influential people, to make sure that I was not running� or had not run� in vain.
|
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. Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, although he was a Greek.
|
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. Now this matter arose because of the false brothers with false pretenses who slipped in unnoticed to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, to make us slaves.
|
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. But we did not surrender to them even for a moment, in order that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
|
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 from those who were influential (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people)� those influential leaders added nothing to my message.
|
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 G444 's person G4383 :) for G1063 they who seemed G1380 to be somewhat in conference added G4323 nothing G3762 to me G1698 :
|
|
7. On the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised just as Peter was to the circumcised
|
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 he who empowered Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles)
|
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 when James, Cephas, and John, who had a reputation as pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, they gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, agreeing that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
|
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. They requested only that we remember the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.
|
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 when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he had clearly done wrong.
|
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. Until certain people came from James, he had been eating with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he stopped doing this and separated himself because he was afraid of those who were pro-circumcision.
|
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 the rest of the Jews also joined with him in this hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led astray with them by their hypocrisy.
|
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 when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, "If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to force the Gentiles to live like Jews?"
|
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 are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
|
15. We G2249 who are Jews G2453 by nature G5449 , and G2532 not G3756 sinners G268 of G1537 the Gentiles G1484 ,
|
|
16. yet we know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by the faithfulness of Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
|
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 if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves have also been found to be sinners, is Christ then one who encourages sin? Absolutely not!
|
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. But if I build up again those things I once destroyed, I demonstrate that I am one who breaks God's law.
|
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 through the law I died to the law so that I may live to God.
|
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 have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
|
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 set aside God's grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!
|
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 .
