7 But on the contrary, seeing that I had been (A)entrusted with the (B)gospel [a]to the uncircumcised, just as (C)Peter had been [b]to the circumcised 8 (for He who was at work for Peter in his (D)apostleship [c]to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles), 9 and recognizing (E)the grace that had been given to me, [d](F)James and [e](G)Cephas and John, who were (H)reputed to be (I)pillars, gave to me and (J)Barnabas the (K)right [f]hand of fellowship, so that we might (L)go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. 10 They only asked us to remember the poor—(M)the very thing I also was eager to do.
Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul
11 But when (N)Cephas came to (O)Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he [g]stood condemned. 12 For prior to the coming of some men from [h](P)James, he used to (Q)eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and separate himself, (R)fearing those from the circumcision. 13 The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even (S)Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they (T)were not [i]straightforward about (U)the truth of the gospel, I said to (V)Cephas in the presence of all, “If you, being a Jew, (W)live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?[j]
15 “We are (X)Jews by nature and not (Y)sinners from the Gentiles; 16 nevertheless, knowing that (Z)a person is not justified by works of [k]the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by (AA)faith in Christ and not by works of [l]the Law; since (AB)by works of [m]the Law no [n]flesh will be justified. 17 But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found (AC)sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? [o](AD)Far from it! 18 For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I (AE)prove myself to be a wrongdoer. 19 For through [p]the Law I (AF)died to [q]the Law, so that I might live for God. 20 I have been (AG)crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but (AH)Christ lives in me; and [r]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in (AI)the Son of God, who (AJ)loved me and (AK)gave Himself up for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for (AL)if righteousness comes through [s]the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”

7 On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task(A) of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised,[a](B) just as Peter(C) had been to the circumcised.[b] 8 For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle(D) to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle(E) to the Gentiles. 9 James,(F) Cephas[c](G) and John, those esteemed as pillars,(H) gave me and Barnabas(I) the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me.(J) They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles,(K) and they to the circumcised. 10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor,(L) the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
Paul Opposes Cephas
11 When Cephas(M) came to Antioch,(N) I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James,(O) he used to eat with the Gentiles.(P) But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.(Q) 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas(R) was led astray.
14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel,(S) I said to Cephas(T) in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew.(U) How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?(V)
15 “We who are Jews by birth(W) and not sinful Gentiles(X) 16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law,(Y) but by faith in Jesus Christ.(Z) So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in[d] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.(AA)
17 “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners,(AB) doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!(AC) 18 If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.
19 “For through the law I died to the law(AD) so that I might live for God.(AE) 20 I have been crucified with Christ(AF) and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.(AG) The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,(AH) who loved me(AI) and gave himself for me.(AJ) 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law,(AK) Christ died for nothing!”[e]
