Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel (good news) which I preach among the Gentiles (Goyim), but privately to them who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised;
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in the Messiah (haMashiach) YHWH, that they might bring us into bondage;
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel (good news) might continue with you.
6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me; God (Elohim) accepteth no man’s person;) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me;
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel (good news) of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel (good news) of the circumcision was unto Peter (Kefa);
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter (Kefa) to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles (Goyim);
9 And when James (Yaaqov), Peter (Kefa), and John (Yochanan), 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.
10 Only they wish that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11 But when Peter (Kefa) was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James (Yaaqov), he did eat with the Gentiles (Goyim); but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews (Yehudim) dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel (good news), I said unto Peter (Kefa) before them all, “If you, being a Jew (Yehudi), livest after the manner of Gentiles (Goyim), and not as do the Jews (Yehudim), why compellest you the Gentiles (Goyim) to live as do the Jews (Yehudim)?
15 We who are Jews (Yehudim) by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles (Goyim),
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the B28alaw (torah), but by the faith of YHWH haMashiach, even we have believed in YHWH haMashiach, that we might be justified by the faith of the Messiah (haMashiach), and not by the works of the law (torah); for by the works of the law (torah) shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by the Messiah (haMashiach), we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Messiah (Mashiach) the minister of sin? God (Elohim) forbid.
18 For if I build again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through the law (torah) am dead to the law (torah), that I might live unto God (Elohim).
20 I am crucified with the Messiah (haMashiach); nevertheless I live; yet not I, but the Messiah (haMashiach) liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the B47Humanity of El (YHWH haMashich), who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God (Elohim, יהוה (YHWH)); for if righteousness come by the law (torah), then the Messiah (haMashiach) is dead in vain.
