e
uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision; (8)(for he
who wrought for Peter in behalf of the apostleship of the
circumcision, wrought also for me in behalf of the Gentiles;) (9)and
having learned the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and
John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas right
hands of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to
the circumcision; (10)only, that we should remember the poor, which
very thing also I was forward to do.

(11)But when Cephas came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,
because he was blamed. (12)For before certain ones came from James, he
ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated
himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. (13)And the other
Jews also dissembled with him, so that Barnabas also was carried away
with their dissimulation. (14)But when I saw that they walk not
uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in the
presence of all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of
Gentiles and not that of Jews, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to
become as Jews? (15)We are Jews by nature, and not sinners from among
the Gentiles; (16)but knowing that a man is not justified by works of
law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we also believed on Christ
Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works
of law; because by works of law no flesh shall be justified. (17)But
if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were
found sinners, is then Christ a minister of sin? Far be it! (18)For if
the things which I pulled down these I build up again, I make myself a
transgressor. (19)For I through law died to law, that I might live to
God. (20)I have been crucified with Christ; and no longer do I live,
but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I
live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself
for me. (21)I do not set aside the grace of God; for if there be
righteousness through law, then Christ died without cause.

O FOOLISH Galatians, who bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ
was evidently set forth[3:1], crucified among you? (2)This only I
desire to learn from you: Was it from works of law that ye received
the Spirit, or from the hearing of faith? (3)Are ye so foolish? Having
begun with the Spirit, are ye now being made perfect[3:3] with the
flesh? (4)Did ye suffe
