Whether they were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me—God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, the leaders imparted nothing new. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Indeed, when they saw that I was entrusted with the preaching of the Good News to the Gentiles as Peter had been with that to the Jews— <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>for He who had been at work within Peter with a view to his Apostleship to the Jews had also been at work within me with a view to my Apostleship to the Gentiles— <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>and when they perceived the mission which was graciously entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Only they urged that we should remember their poor—a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.</p> <p class="hdg">Paul Confronts Peter</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/2-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>But if while we are seeking in Christ acquittal from guilt we ourselves are convicted of sin, Christ then encourages us to sin!
