Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul

¹¹ But when ^(A)Cephas came to ^(B)Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he ^[a]stood condemned. ¹² For prior to the coming of certain men from ^[b](C)James, he used to ^(D)eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, ^(E)fearing ^[c]the party of the circumcision. ¹³ The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even ^(F)Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ But when I saw that they ^(G)were not ^[d]straightforward about ^(H)the truth of the gospel, I said to ^(I)Cephas in the presence of all, “If you, being a Jew, ^(J)live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews? ^[e]

¹⁵ “We are ^(K)Jews by nature and not ^(L)sinners from among the Gentiles; ¹⁶ nevertheless knowing that ^(M)a man is not justified by the works of ^[f]the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by ^(N)faith in Christ and not by the works of ^[g]the Law; since ^(O)by the works of ^[h]the Law no ^[i]flesh will be justified. ¹⁷ But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found ^(P)sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? ^(Q)May it never be! ¹⁸ For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I ^(R)prove myself to be a transgressor. ¹⁹ For through ^[j]the Law I ^(S)died to ^[k]the Law, so that I might live to God. ²⁰ I have been ^(T)crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but ^(U)Christ lives in me; and ^[l]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in ^(V)the Son of God, who ^(W)loved me and ^(X)gave Himself up for me. ²¹ I do not nullify the grace of God, for ^(Y)if righteousness comes through ^[m]the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
