THAT I MIGHT PREACH HIM AMONG THE HEATHEN,GALATIANS 179
Ga:1:16: To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Ga:1:17: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Ga:1:18: Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Ga:1:19: But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
Ga:1:20: Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Ga:1:21: Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Ga:1:22: And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
Ga:1:23: But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Ga:1:24: And they glorified God in me.
Chapter 2
Ga:2:1: Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
Ga:2:2: 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.
Ga:2:3: But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Ga:2:4: 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:
Ga:2:5: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Ga:2:6: 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:
Ga:2:7: But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Ga:2:8: (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
Ga:2:9: 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.
Ga:2:10: Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
Ga:2:11: But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
Ga:2:12: 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.
Ga:2:13: And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
Ga:2:14: 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?
Ga:2:15: We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Ga:2:16: 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.
