Galatians 2:11-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

¹² For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.

¹³ And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation.

¹⁴ But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

¹⁵ We by nature are Jews, and not of the Gentiles sinners.

¹⁶ But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
