NASB — Galatians 2 — KJV

The Council at Jerusalem

1 Then° after° an interval of fourteen° years° I awent° up again° to Jerusalem° with bBarnabas°, taking° cTitus° along° also°. 2 IIt was because° of a arevelation° that I went° up; and I submitted° to them the bgospel° which° I preach° among° the Gentiles°, but [I did so] in private°° to those° who were of reputation°, for fear° that I might be crunning°, or° had run°, in vain°. 3 But not even° aTitus°, who° was with me, though he was a Greek°, was bcompelled° to be circumcised°. 4 But [it was] because° of the afalse° brethren° secretly° brought° in, who bhad sneaked° in to spy° out our cliberty° which° we have° in Christ° Jesus°, in order° to dbring° us into bondage°. 5 But we did not yield° in subjection° to them for even° an hour°, so° that athe truth° of the gospel° would remain° with you. 6 But from those° who Iwere of high° areputation° (what° they were makes° no° difference° to me; bGod° IIshows° no° partiality°)—well°, those° who were of reputation° contributed° nothing° to me. 7 But on the contrary°, seeing° that I had been aentrusted° with the bgospel° Ito the uncircumcised°, just° as cPeter° [had been] IIto the circumcised° 8 (for He who effectually° worked° for Peter° in [his] aapostleship° Ito the circumcised° effectually° worked° for me also° to the Gentiles°), 9 and recognizing° athe grace° that had been given° to me, IbJames° and cCephas° and John°, who were dreputed° to be epillars°, gave° to me and fBarnabas° the gright° IIhand° of fellowship°, so° that we [might] h[go] to the Gentiles° and they to the circumcised°. 10 [They] only° [asked] us to remember° the poor°athe very° thing° I also° was eager° to do°.

He sheweth when he went up again to Jerusalem, and for what purpose:

1 ¶ Thenº fourteenº yearsº afterº I went upºª againº toº Jerusalemº withº Barnabas,º and took¹ª Titus¹ with²² [me]¹ª also.º 2 Andº I went upºª byº revelation,º andº communicatedºª unto themº that gospelº whichº I preachºª amongº the² Gentiles,º butº privatelyºº to them which were of reputation,ºª lest by any meansº¹ I should run,ºª orº had run,ºª inº vain.º

and that Titus was not circumcised:

3 Butº neitherº Titus,º whoº was withº me,º beingºª a Greek,º was compelled¹ª² to be circumcised:ºª 4 Andº that because² of¹ false brethrenº unawares brought in,º whoº came in privilyºª to spy outºª ourº libertyº whichº we haveºª inº Christº Jesus,º thatº they might bring¹ª us¹ into bondage:ºª² 5 To whomº we gave placeºª by subjection,º no, notº forº an hour;º thatº the² truthº of the² gospelº might continueºª withº you.º 6 Butº ofº these² who seemedºª to beºª somewhat,º (whatsoeverºº they were,ºª it maketh¹ª no¹ matterºª² to me:º Godº acceptethºª noº man'sº person:)º forº they who seemedºª [to be somewhat] in conference addedºª nothingº to me:º 7 Butº contrariwise,º when they sawºª thatº the² gospelº of the² uncircumcisionº was committed² unto me,¹ª asº [the gospel] of the² circumcisionº [was] unto Peter;º 8 (Forº he that wrought effectuallyºª in Peterº toº the apostleshipº of the² circumcision,º the same¹ was mightyºª in² meº towardº the² Gentiles:)º 9 Andº when James,ºº Cephas,º andº John,º who¹ seemedºª to beºª pillars,º perceivedºª the² graceº that was givenºª unto me,º they gaveºª to meº andº Barnabasº the right handsº of fellowship;º thatº weº [should go] untoº the² heathen,º andº theyº untoº the² circumcision.º 10 Onlyº [they would] thatº we should rememberºª the² poor;º the sameºº whichº I¹ª alsoº was forwardºª to do.ºª

why he and others, being Jews, do believe in Christ to be justified by faith, and not by works:

14 Butº whenº I sawºª thatº they walked¹ª not¹ uprightlyºª² according² to¹ the² truthº of the² gospel,º I saidºª unto Peterº beforeº [them] all,º Ifº thou,º beingºª a Jew,º livestºª after the manner of Gentiles,º andº notº as do the Jews,º whyº compellest² thou¹ª the² Gentilesº to live as do the Jews?ºª 15 Weº [who are] Jewsº by nature,º andº notº sinnersº ofº the Gentiles,º 16 Knowing¹ª² thatº a manº is¹ª notº justifiedºª byº the worksº of the law,º butº byº the faithº of Jesusº Christ,º evenº weº have believedºª inº Jesusº Christ,º thatº we might be justifiedºª byº the faithº of Christ,º andº notº byº the worksº of the law:º forº byº the worksº of the lawº shall¹ª noº¹ fleshº be justified.ºª 17 Butº if,º while we seekºª to be justifiedºª byº Christ,º we¹ª² ourselves¹ alsoº are foundºª sinners,º [is] thereforeº Christº the ministerº of sin?º God forbid.ººª 18 Forº ifº I buildºª againº the thingsº whichº I destroyed,ºª I makeºª myselfº a transgressor.º 19 Forº Iº throughº the lawº am deadºª to the law,º thatº I might liveºª unto God.º
