2:1  Then after fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having also taken along Titus with me.
2:2  And I went up based-on a revelation, and laid-before them the good-news which I am proclaiming among the Gentiles— but privately, to the ones having-the-reputation-of  being something— that somehow I might not be running, or have run, in vain.
2:3  But not even Titus, the one with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
2:4  Now this arose because of the false-brothers secretly-brought-in, who sneaked-in to spy-out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus in order that they might enslave us—
2:5  to whom we yielded in submission not-even for an hour, in order that the truth of the good-news might continue with you.
2:6  And from the ones having-the-reputation-of being something— of-what-sort they ever were makes no difference to me; God does not receive the face of a human— indeed to me the ones having-the-reputation communicated nothing.
2:7  But on-the-contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted the good-news for the uncircumcised just as Peter for the circumcised—
2:8  for the One having worked in Peter for an apostleship of the circumcised worked also in me for the Gentiles—
2:9  and having recognized the grace having been given to me, James and Cephas and John, the ones having-the-reputation-of being pillars, gave the right hands of fellowship to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
2:10  They asked only that we should be remembering the poor— as to which, I also was eager to do this very thing.
2:11  And when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face— because he was condemned.
2:12  For before certain ones came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he was drawing-back and separating himself, fearing the ones of the circumcision.
2:13  And the other Jews also joined-in-hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was carried-away by their hypocrisy.
2:14  But when I saw that they were not walking-straight with regard to the truth of the good-news, I said to Cephas in front of everyone— “If you being a Jew are living Gentile-ly and not Jewish-ly, how is it you are compelling the Gentiles to Judaize?”
2:15  We are Jews by nature, and not sinners from the Gentiles.
2:16  But knowing that a person is not declared-righteous by works of the Law except through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, in order that we might be declared-righteous by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law, because by works of the Law no flesh will be declared-righteous.
2:17  But if  while seeking to be declared-righteous in Christ, we also ourselves were found to be sinners, is then Christ a minister of sin? May it never be!
2:18  For if I am building again these things which I tore-down, I am demonstrating myself to be a transgressor.
2:19  For through the Law I died to the Law in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified-with Christ!
2:20  And I no longer am living, but Christ is living in me. And what I am now living in the flesh, I am living by faith in the Son of God— the One having loved me and handed Himself over for me.
2:21  I am not setting-aside the grace of God! For if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died without-a-reason!
