20;
20 I have been crucified with
Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the
body, I live by faith in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (2)

17 “But
if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the
sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! (8)
18 If I rebuild what I destroyed,
then I really would be a lawbreaker.

8 For God, who was at work in
Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to
the Gentiles. (8)
9 James, Cephas and
John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when
they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.

12 For
before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when
they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles
because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.
(3)
13 The other Jews joined him in his
hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14 When I saw that
they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in
front of them all, “You are a Jew,
yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force
Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
15 “We who are Jews by
birth and not sinful Gentiles
16 know that a person is not
justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have
put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ
and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be
justified.

3 Yet
not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though
he was a Greek.
(3)
4 This matter arose
because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we
have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.
5 We did not give in
to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for
you.
6 As for those who
were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does
not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message.
7 On the contrary, they
recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to
the uncircumcised, just as
Peter had been to the circumcised.

19 “For through the law I died to the law so that I
might live for God. (1)

10 All they asked was that we
should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all
along. Paul Opposes Cephas (1)
11 When Cephas came to
Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

the Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this
time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also. (1)
2 I went in response to a
revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented
to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was
not running and had not been running my race in vain.
