Galatians 2 (WEBP)
[1] Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
[2] I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
[3] But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
[4] This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,
[5] to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
[6] But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
[7] but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
[8] for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
[9] and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
[10] They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
[11] But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
[12] For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
[13] And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
[14] But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
[15] “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
[16] yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
[17] But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
[18] For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
[19] For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
[20] I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
[21] I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

Galatians 2 (KJVS)
[1] Then G1899 fourteen G1180 years G2094 after G1223 I went up G305 (Aor2ActInd) again G3825 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 with G3326 Barnabas G921, and took G4838 Titus G5103 with [me] G4838 (Aor2ActPtc) also G2532.
[2] And G1161 I went up G305 (Aor2ActInd) by G2596 revelation G602, and G2532 communicated G394 (Aor2MidInd) unto them G846 that gospel G2098 which G3739 I preach G2784 (PresActInd) among G1722 the Gentiles G1484, but G1161 privately G2596 G2398 to them which were of reputation G1380 (PresActPtc), lest by any means G3381 G4458 I should run G5143 (PresActSubj), or G2228 had run G5143 (Aor2ActInd), in G1519 vain G2756.
[3] But G235 neither G3761 Titus G5103, who G3588 was with G4862 me G1698, being G5607 (PresPtc) a Greek G1672, was compelled G315 (AorPasInd) to be circumcised G4059 (AorPasInf):
[4] And G1161 that because of G1223 false brethren G5569 unawares brought in G3920, who G3748 came in privily G3922 (Aor2ActInd) to spy out G2684 (AorActInf) our G2257 liberty G1657 which G3739 we have G2192 (PresActInd) in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424, that G2443 they might bring G2615 us G2248 into bondage G2615 (AorMidSubj):
[5] To whom G3739 we gave place G1502 (AorActInd) by subjection G5292, no, not G3761 for G4314 an hour G5610; that G2443 the truth G225 of the gospel G2098 might continue G1265 (AorActSubj) with G4314 you G5209.
[6] But G1161 of G575 these who seemed G1380 (PresActPtc) to be G1511 (PresInf) somewhat G5100, (whatsoever G3697 G4218 they were G2258 (ImpfInd), it maketh G1308 no G3762 matter G1308 (PresActInd) to me G3427: God G2316 accepteth G2983 (PresActInd) no G3756 man’s G444 person G4383:) for G1063 they who seemed G1380 (PresActPtc) [to be somewhat] in conference added G4323 (Aor2MidInd) nothing G3762 to me G1698:
[7] But G235 contrariwise G5121, when they saw G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) that G3754 the gospel G2098 of the uncircumcision G203 was committed unto me G4100 (PerfPasInd), as G2531 [the gospel] of the circumcision G4061 [was] unto Peter G4074;
[8] (For G1063 he that wrought effectually G1754 (AorActPtc) in Peter G4074 to G1519 the apostleship G651 of the circumcision G4061, the same G2532 was mighty G1754 (AorActInd) in me G1698 toward G1519 the Gentiles G1484:)
[9] And G2532 when James G2385, G2532 Cephas G2786, and G2532 John G2491, who G3588 seemed G1380 (PresActPtc) to be G1511 (PresInf) pillars G4769, perceived G1097 (Aor2ActPtc) the grace G5485 that was given G1325 (AorPasPtc) unto me G3427, they gave G1325 (AorActInd) to me G1698 and G2532 Barnabas G921 the right hands G1188 of fellowship G2842; that G2443 we G2249 [should go] unto G1519 the heathen G1484, and G1161 they G846 unto G1519 the circumcision G4061.
[10] Only G3440 [they would] that G2443 we should remember G3421 (PresActSubj) the poor G4434; the same G846 G5124 which G3739 I G4704 also G2532 was forward G4704 (AorActInd) to do G4160 (AorActInf).
[11] But G1161 when G3753 Peter G4074 was come G2064 (Aor2ActInd) to G1519 Antioch G490, I withstood G436 (Aor2ActInd) him G846 to G2596 the face G4383, because G3754 he was G2258 (ImpfInd) to be blamed G2607 (PerfPasPtc).
[12] For G1063 before G4253 that certain G5100 came G2064 (Aor2ActInf) from G575 James G2385, he did eat G4906 (ImpfActInd) with G3326 the Gentiles G1484: but G1161 when G3753 they were come G2064 (Aor2ActInd), he withdrew G5288 (ImpfActInd) and G2532 separated G873 (ImpfActInd) himself G1438, fearing G5399 (PresMidPasDepPtc) them which were of G1537 the circumcision G4061.
[13] And G2532 the other G3062 Jews G2453 dissembled G4942 (AorPasInd) likewise G2532 with him G846; insomuch G5620 that Barnabas G921 also G2532 was carried away G4879 (AorPasInd) with their G846 dissimulation G5272.
[14] But G235 when G3753 I saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) that G3754 they walked G3716 not G3756 uprightly G3716 (PresActInd) according to G4314 the truth G225 of the gospel G2098, I said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto Peter G4074 before G1715 [them] all G3956, If G1487 thou G4771, being G5225 (PresActPtc) a Jew G2453, livest G2198 (PresActInd) after the manner of Gentiles G1483, and G2532 not G3756 as do the Jews G2452, why G5101 compellest thou G315 (PresActInd) the Gentiles G1484 to live as do the Jews G2450 (PresActInf)?
[15] We G2249 [who are] Jews G2453 by nature G5449, and G2532 not G3756 sinners G268 of G1537 the Gentiles G1484,
[16] Knowing G1492 (PerfActPtc) that G3754 a man G444 is G1344 not G3756 justified G1344 (PresPasInd) 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 (AorActInd) in G1519 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547, that G2443 we might be justified G1344 (AorPasSubj) 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 G1344 no G3756 G3956 flesh G4561 be justified G1344 (FutPasInd).
[17] But G1161 if G1487, while we seek G2212 (PresActPtc) to be justified G1344 (AorPasInf) by G1722 Christ G5547, we G2147 ourselves G846 also G2532 are found G2147 (AorPasInd) sinners G268, [is] therefore G687 Christ G5547 the minister G1249 of sin G266? God forbid G3361 G1096 (Aor2MidDepOpt).
[18] For G1063 if G1487 I build G3618 (PresActInd) again G3825 the things G5023 which G3739 I destroyed G2647 (AorActInd), I make G4921 (PresActInd) myself G1683 a transgressor G3848.
[19] For G1063 I G1473 through G1223 the law G3551 am dead G599 (Aor2ActInd) to the law G3551, that G2443 I might live G2198 (AorActSubj) unto God G2316.
[20] I am crucified G4957 (PerfPasInd) with Christ G5547: nevertheless G1161 I live G2198 (PresActInd); yet not G3765 I G1473, but G1161 Christ G5547 liveth G2198 (PresActInd) in G1722 me G1698: and G1161 the life which G3739 I G2198 now G3568 live G2198 (PresActInd) in G1722 the flesh G4561 I live G2198 (PresActInd) by G1722 the faith G4102 of the Son G5207 of God G2316, who G3588 loved G25 (AorActPtc) me G3165, and G2532 gave G3860 (Aor2ActPtc) himself G1438 for G5228 me G1700.
[21] I do G114 not G3756 frustrate G114 (PresActInd) the grace G5485 of God G2316: for G1063 if G1487 righteousness G1343 [come] by G1223 the law G3551, then G686 Christ G5547 is dead G599 (Aor2ActInd) in vain G1432.
Young’s Literal Translation
Galatians 2 (YLT)
[1] Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;
[2] and 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;
[3] but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised-
[4] and that 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,
[5] to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.
[6] And 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,
[7] but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision,
[8] for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,
[9] and 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 may go,
[10] only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent-this very thing-to do.
[11] And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,
[12] for 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,
[13] and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.
[14] But 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?
[15] we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,
[16] having 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.’
[17] And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!
[18] for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;
[19] for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;
[20] with 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;
[21] I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law-then Christ died in vain.
