1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken along Titus also.
2 And I went up according to revelation, and I declared to them the good-news that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of repute, lest somehow I might be running or ran in vain.
3 But not even Titus with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
4 But that issue was because of those FALSE brothers smuggled in, who sneaked in to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us,
5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, so that the truth of the good-news might continue with you.
6 But from those who were reputed to be something (what kind they were formerly, it makes no difference to me, God does not accept a personage of man), for those who were of repute added nothing to me,
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the good-news for men of uncircumcision, as Peter for men of circumcision
8 (for he who was working in Peter for the apostleship for men of circumcision was also working in me for the Gentiles),
9 and James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, when they understood the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship. So that we were for the Gentiles, and they for me
10 only that we should remember the poor, which this same thing I also was eager to do.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch I opposed him to the face, because he was blameworthy.
12 For before certain men came from James he ate together with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing men of circumcision.
13 And the other Jews also joined in hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas went along with their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly toward the truth of the good-news, I said to Peter before all, If thou being a Jew, live as a Gentile and not as a Jew, why do thou compel the Gentiles to live as Jews?
15 We are Jews by nature and not sinful men of the Gentiles,
16 knowing that a man is not made righteous from works of law, instead through faith of Jesus Christ. And we believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made righteous from faith of Christ, and not from works of law, because no fles
17 But if, while seeking to be made righteous in Christ, we ourselves were also found sinful, then is Christ an aide of sin? May it not happen!
18 For if I build again these things that I torn down, I demonstrate myself a transgressor.
19 For I, through law, died to law, so that I might live to God.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And what I now live in flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.
21 I do not disregard the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died in vain.
1 Then .xiiii. yeares after that I wet vp agayne to Ierusalem with Barnabas and toke with me Titus also.
2 Ye and I went vp by revelacion and comened with them of the Gospell which I preache amonge the gentyls: but apart with them which were couted chefe lest it shuld have bene thought yt I shuld runne or had runne in vayne.
3 Also Titus which was with me though he were a Greke yet was not compelled to be circumcised
4 and that because of incomers beynge falce brethren which came in amoge other to spye out oure libertie which we have in Christ Iesus that they might bringe vs into bondage.
5 To whom we gave no roume no not for the space of an houre as cocerninge to be brought into subieccio: and that because that the trueth of the gospell myght continue with you.
6 Of the which seme to be great (what they were in tyme passed it maketh no matter to me: God loketh on no mans person) neverthelesse they which seme great added nothynge to me.
7 But contrary wyse when they sawe that the gospell over the vncircumcision was comitted vnto me as the gospell over ye circucision was vnto Peter:
8 for he yt was myghty in Peter in the Apostleshippe over the circumcision the same was myghty in me amoge the gentyls:
9 and therfore when they perceaved the grace that was geve vnto me then Iames Cephas and Iohn which semed to be pilers gave to me and Barnabas the ryght hondes and agreed with vs that we shuld preache amonge the Hethen and they amonge the Iewes:
10 warnynge only that we shulde remember the poore. Which thinge also I was diligent to do.
11 And when Peter was come to Antioche I withstode him in the face for he was worthy to be blamed.
12 For yerr that certayne came fro Iames he ate with the gentyls. But when they were come he withdrue and separated him selfe fearinge them which were of ye circumcision.
13 And ye other Iewes dissembled lyke wyse in so moche that Barnabas was brought into their simulacio also.
14 But when I sawe that they went not the ryght waye after the trueth of the gospell I sayde vnto Peter before all men yf thou beynge a Iewe livest after the maner of the gentyls and not as do the Iewes: why causest thou the getyls to live as do the Iewes?
15 We which are Iewes by nature and not synners of the getyls
16 knowe that a man is not iustified by ye dedes of the lowe: but by the fayth of Iesus Christ. And therfore we have beleved on Iesus Christ yt we myght be iustified by ye fayth of Christ and uot by the dedes of the lawe: because that by ye dedes of ye lawe no flesshe shalbe iustified.
17 Yf then whill we seke to be made rightewes by Christ we oure selves are founde synners is not then Christ ye minister of synne? God forbyd.
18 For yf I bylde agayne yt which I destroyed. then make I my selfe a treaspaser.
19 But I thorow ye lawe ame deed to ye lawe: that I myght live vnto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ. I live verely: yet now not I but Christ liveth in me. For ye lyfe which I now live in ye flesshe I live by the fayth of ye sonne of God which loved me and gave him selne for me.
21 I despyse not the grace of God. For if rightewesnes come of the lawe then Christ dyed in vayne.
