Then fourteen years after I went up again to Yarûshâlaim with Bar Nebı̂y, and took Titos with me also.
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
But neither Titos, who was with me, being an Éllin, was compelled to be circumcised:
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our freedom which we have in Mâshı̂yach Yahusha, to enslave us:
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it makes no matter to me: Êlôhîym shows no partiality :) for they who seemed influential added nothing to me:
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Kêph;
(For he who worked in Kêph the apóstolí of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
And when Yaăqôb, Kêph, and Yôchânân, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Bar Nebı̂y the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
Only that we remember the poor; the same which I also was prompt to do.
But when Kêph was come to Antióchia, I opposed him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
For before that certain came from Yaăqôb, he ate with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
And the other Yahûdı̂y acted hypocritically in concert with him; insomuch that Bar Nebı̂y also was carried away with their hypocrisy.
But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Kêph before them all, if you, being a Yahûdı̂y, live as the Gentiles, and not as the Yahûdı̂y, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Yahûdı̂y?
We who are Yahûdı̂y by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Yahusha Mâshı̂yach, even we have believed in Yahusha Mâshı̂yach, that we might be justified by the faith of Mâshı̂yach, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
But if, while we seek to be justified by Mâshı̂yach, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Mâshı̂yach the minister of sin? Certainly No.
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
For I am through the law dead to the law, that I might live unto Êlôhîym.
I am impaled with Mâshı̂yach: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Mâshı̂yach lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the son of Êlôhîym, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I do not violate the grace of Êlôhîym: for if righteousness come by the law, then Mâshı̂yach is dead in vain.
