Paul before the pillars
Then fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, taking Titus along as well. I went up because of a revelation, and I put before them the gospel I preach among the Gentiles — privately, to those who were held in regard — in case I was running, or had run, for nothing. But not even Titus, who was with me, was made to be circumcised, and he was a Greek. That came up because of false brothers who had been smuggled in, who slipped in to spy out the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so they could put us back under the yoke. We didn't give in to them for a moment, so the truth of the gospel would stay with you. As for those who were held in regard — whatever they were makes no difference to me, God shows no favouritism — those men added nothing to me. On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised. Because the one who was at work in Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised was at work in me for the Gentiles. And when James, Cephas and John, who were held to be pillars, saw the grace given to me, they shook hands on it with Barnabas and me, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. The only thing they asked was that we should remember the poor, and that was the very thing I was keen to do.
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas and took Titus with me too. And I went up by a showing and set out to them that good news I preach among the nations, but privately to the ones of reputation, in case by any means I should run or had run for nothing. But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was forced to be circumcised. And that because of false brothers brought in unaware, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty that we've got in Christ Jesus, so they could bring us into bondage. We didn't give in to them by putting ourselves under, no, not for an hour, so the truth of the good news could stay with you. But of these who seemed to be somewhat (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me — God doesn't take a man's outside) — because the ones who seemed somewhat added nothing to me. But on the other hand, when they saw the good news of the uncircumcision was handed to me, the way the good news of the circumcision was to Peter, (because the one who worked strongly in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision was mighty in me too towards the nations), and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, saw the grace given me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, so we should go to the nations and they to the circumcision. Only they wanted us to remember the poor, which same thing I was keen to do too.
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus 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 Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 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, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference 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 Peter; (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

Peter set straight
But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was in the wrong. Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he backed off and kept himself separate, because he was afraid of the circumcision crowd. And the rest of the Jews went along with him and played the same double game — so much so that even Barnabas was carried along with it. But when I saw they weren't walking straight by the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of the lot of them: If you are a Jew and you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles live like Jews? We are Jews by birth, not Gentile sinners. But we know that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. Even we have believed in Jesus Christ, so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law — because by the works of the law no flesh will be justified. But if, while we are seeking to be justified by Christ, we ourselves turn out to be sinners, does that make Christ a servant of sin? God forbid. Because if I build again what I pulled down, I prove myself a lawbreaker. For through the law I died to the law, so I might live to God. I am crucified with Christ. I still live — yet it is no longer me, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I don't set aside the grace of God. Because if righteousness came by the law, then Christ died for nothing.
But when Peter had come to Antioch, I stood up against him to his face, because he was to be blamed. Because before some came from James, he ate with the nations. But when they'd come, he pulled back and set himself apart, being frightened of the ones of the circumcision. And the other Jews joined him in pretending too, so Barnabas too was carried away with their pretending. But when I saw they didn't walk straight according to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter in front of them all: If you, being a Jew, live the way the nations do and not the way the Jews do, why do you force the nations to live the way the Jews do? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the nations, knowing that a man isn't made right by the works of the teaching but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we've believed in Jesus Christ too, so we could be made right by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the teaching. Because by the works of the teaching no flesh will be made right. But if while we look to be made right by Christ, we ourselves are found sinners too, is Christ then the servant of sin? God forbid. Because if I build again the things I wrecked, I make myself one who breaks the teaching. Because I through the teaching am dead to the teaching, so I could live to God. I'm crucified with Christ. But still I live — yet not I, but Christ lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I don't set aside the grace of God. Because if righteousness comes by the teaching, then Christ is dead for nothing.
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We who are Jews 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 Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, 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 Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
