Galatians 2
Lexham English Bible
Paul’s Ministry Recognized by the Jerusalem Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking along Titus also. 2 Now I went up there because of a revelation and laid out to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but in private to the influential people, lest somehow I was running, or had run, in vain. 3 But not even Titus who was with me, although[a] he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. 4 Now this was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they might enslave us, 5 to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, in order that the truth of the gospel might remain continually with you. 6 But from those who were influential[b] (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me, God does not show partiality[c])—for those who were influential added nothing to me. 7 But these, when they[d] saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcision, just as Peter to the circumcision 8 (for the one who was at work through Peter for his apostleship to the circumcision was at work also through me for the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John—those thought to be pillars—acknowledged the grace given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, in order that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision. 10 They asked only that we should remember the poor, the very thing I was also eager to do.
Paul Confronts Peter at Antioch
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was condemned. 12 For before certain people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he[e] was afraid of those who were of the circumcision, 13 and the rest of the Jews also joined in this hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with them in their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were not being straightforward with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of them all, “If you, although you[f] are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Justified by Faith in Christ
15 We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles, 16 but knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the law, if not by faith in Jesus Christ,[g] and we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ[h] and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified[i]. 17 But if while seeking to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, then is Christ an agent of sin? May it never be! 18 For if I build up again these things which I destroyed, I show myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I died to the law, in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ, 20 and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, and that life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not declare invalid the grace of God, for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.

Galacia 2
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
2 Nang makaraan nga ang labingapat na taon ay umahon akong muli sa Jerusalem na kasama si Bernabe, at isinama ko rin naman si Tito.
2 At ako'y umahon dahil sa pahayag; at isinaysay ko sa harapan nila ang evangelio na aking ipinangangaral sa gitna ng mga Gentil, datapuwa't sa harapan ng mga may dangal ay sa lihim, baka sa anomang paraan ako'y tatakbo, o tumakbo, ng walang kabuluhan.
3 Datapuwa't maging si Tito man na kasama ko, bagama't Griego, ay hindi napilit na patuli.
4 At yaon ay dahil sa mga hindi tunay na kapatid na ipinasok ng lihim, na nagsipasok ng lihim upang tiktikan ang aming kalayaan na taglay namin kay Cristo Jesus, upang kami'y ilagay nila sa pagkaalipin:
5 Sa mga yaon ay hindi kami napahinuhod na supilin kami, kahit isang oras; upang ang katotohanan ng evangelio ay manatili sa inyo.
6 Datapuwa't ang mga wari'y may dangal ng kaunti (maging anoman sila, ay walang anoman sa akin: ang Dios ay hindi tumatanggap ng anyo ninoman) silang may dangal, sinasabi ko, ay hindi nagbahagi sa akin ng anoman:
7 Kundi bagkus nang makita nila na sa akin ay ipinagkatiwala ang evangelio ng di-pagtutuli, gaya rin naman ng pagkakatiwala kay Pedro ng evangelio ng pagtutuli;
8 (Sapagka't ang naghanda kay Pedro sa pagkaapostol sa pagtutuli ay naghanda rin naman sa akin sa pagkaapostol sa mga Gentil);
9 At nang makita nila ang biyayang sa akin ay ipinagkaloob, ang mga kanang kamay ng pakikisama ay ibinigay sa akin at kay Bernabe ni Santiago at ni Cefas at ni Juan, sila na mga inaaring haligi, upang kami ay magsiparoon sa mga Gentil, at sila'y sa pagtutuli;
10 Ang kanila lamang hinihiling ay aming alalahanin ang mga dukha; na ang bagay ring ito'y aking pinagsisikapan gawain.
11 Nguni't nang dumating si Cefas sa Antioquia, ay sumalansang ako sa kaniya ng mukhaan, sapagka't siya'y nararapat hatulan.
12 Sapagka't bago nagsidating ang ilang mula kay Santiago, ay nakisalo siya sa mga Gentil; nguni't nang sila'y magsidating na, siya'y umurong, at humiwalay sa mga Gentil, palibhasa'y natatakot sa mga sa pagtutuli.
13 At ang ibang mga Judio ay nangagpakunwari rin namang kasama niya: ano pa't pati si Bernabe ay nabuyo sa kanilang pagkukunwari.
14 Nguni't nang aking makita na hindi sila nagsisilakad ng matuwid ayon sa katotohanan ng evangelio, sinabi ko kay Cefas sa harapan nilang lahat, Kung ikaw, na Judio, ay namumuhay gaya ng mga Gentil, at di gaya ng mga Judio, bakit mo pinipilit ang mga Gentil na mamuhay na gaya ng mga Judio?
15 Tayo'y mga Judio sa katutubo, at hindi mga makasalanang Gentil,
16 Bagama't naaalaman na ang tao ay hindi inaaring-ganap sa mga gawang ayon sa kautusan, maliban na sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kay Jesucristo, tayo rin ay nagsisampalataya kay Cristo Jesus, upang tayo'y ariing-ganap sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kay Cristo, at hindi dahil sa mga gawang ayon sa kautusan: sapagka't sa mga gawang ayon sa kautusan ay hindi aariing-ganap ang sinomang laman.
17 Nguni't kung, samantalang ating pinagsisikapan na tayo'y ariing-ganap kay Cristo, ay tayo rin naman ay nangasusumpungang mga makasalanan, si Cristo baga ay ministro ng kasalanan? Huwag nawang mangyari.
18 Kung akin ngang muling itayo ang mga bagay na aking sinira, sa aking sarili ay pinatutunayan ko na ako'y suwail.
19 Sapagka't ako sa pamamagitan ng kautusan ay namatay, sa kautusan, upang ako'y mabuhay sa Dios.
20 Ako'y napako sa krus na kasama ni Cristo; at hindi na ako ang nabubuhay, kundi si Cristo ang nabubuhay sa akin: at ang buhay na ikinabubuhay ko ngayon sa laman ay ikinabubuhay ko sa pananampalataya, ang pananampalataya na ito'y sa Anak ng Dios, na sa akin ay umibig, at ibinigay ang kaniyang sarili dahil sa akin.
21 Hindi ko niwawalan ng halaga ang biyaya ng Dios: sapagka't kung sa pamamagitan ng kautusan ay ang katuwiran, kung gayo'y si Cristo ay namatay ng walang kabuluhan.
