circumcision; [2:10]only [they wished] that we should remember the
poor, which I was also forward to do.

7 [2:11]But when Peter came to Antioch I opposed him to his face,
because he was to blame. [2:12]For before some came from James he eat
with the gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated
himself; fearing those of the circumcision; [2:13]and the other Jews
also dissembled with him, so that Barnabas was carried away with their
dissimulation. [2:14]But when I saw that they walked not correctly,
according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before all, If
you being a Jew live after the manner of the gentiles, and not after
the manner of the Jews, why do you compel the gentiles to practise
Judaism? [2:15]For we Jews by race and not sinners of the gentiles,
[2:16] knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but by
the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed in Jesus Christ, that
we may be justified by faith and not by works of the law, because by
works of the law shall no flesh be justified. [2:17]But if seeking to
be justified by Christ we are found to be ourselves also sinners, is
Christ then a minister of sin? By no means. [2:18] For if I build up
again what I have destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. [2:19]For by
a law I have died to the law, that I may live to God. [2:20]I am
crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in
me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith
of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. [2:21]I do not
reject the grace of God; for if rightousness is through the law, then
Christ died for nothing.

CHAPTER II.

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED.

1 [3:1]O FOOLISH Galatians, who has fascinated you, before whose eyes
Jesus Christ has been set forth among you crucified? [3:2]This only
would I learn of you. Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law,
or by a hearing of faith? [3:3]Are you so foolish? Having begun in the
Spirit do you now end in the flesh? [3:4]Have you suffered so much in
vain? if indeed also it is in vain. [3:5]He then that imparts to you
the Spirit, and exercises miraculous powers among you, does he do it by
works of the law, or by the doctrine of faith? [3:6] As Abraham
believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness.

2 [3:7]Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of
Abraham. [3:8]And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the
na
