1Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in HaMashiach Yahusha (Christ Jesus), that they might bring us into bondage:
5To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it makes no matter to me: Elohim (God) accepts no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
9And 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 hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13And the other Yahudim (Jews) dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If you, being a Yahudi (Jew), livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Yahudim (Jews), why compellest you the Gentiles to live as do the Yahudim (Jews)?
15We who are Yahudim (Jews) by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Yahusha HaMashiach (Jesus Christ), even we have believed in Yahusha HaMashiach (Jesus Christ), that we might be justified by the faith of Messiah (Christ), and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17But if, while we seek to be justified by Messiah (Christ), we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Messiah (Christ) the minister of sin? Elohim (God) forbid.
18For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto Elohim (God).
20I am crucified with Messiah (Christ): nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Messiah (Christ) lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of Elohim (God), who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21I do not frustrate the grace of Elohim (God): for if righteousness come by the law, then Messiah (Christ) is dead in vain.
