Galatians 2:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 But when I saw that they were not acting consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the gentiles to live like Jews?”[a](A)
Jews and Gentiles Are Saved by Faith
15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not gentile sinners, 16 yet we know that a person is justified[b] not by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ.[c] And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ[d] and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.(B)

14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel,(A) I said to Cephas(B) in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew.(C) How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?(D)

14 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?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 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.
