Galatians 2:11-21 — Paul Opposes Cephas

Gal.2.11-21

¹¹But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. ¹²For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separate himself, because he feared those of the circumcision. ¹³And the rest of the Jews also joined him in hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. ¹⁴But when I saw that they were not walking straight in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, 'If you, though you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?' ¹⁵We are Jews by birth and not sinners from among the Gentiles. ¹⁶Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, and we ourselves have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no flesh will be justified. ¹⁷But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Absolutely not! ¹⁸For if I build again the very things I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. ¹⁹For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. ²⁰And I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God , who loved me and gave himself for me. ²¹I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
