Galatians 2
2
1Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. 2I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. 3But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. 4This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage, 5to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you. 6But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me, 7but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised— 8for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles— 9and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision. 10They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
11But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. 13And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. 14But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
15“We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners, 16yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law. 17But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker. 19For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God. 20I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me. 21I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

Galatians 2
2
1Then, after arbah esrey shanim (fourteen years), again#2:1 Ac 11:30 I went up to Yerushalayim with Bar-Nabba, having taken with me also Titos.
2Yet I went up according to a chazon (revelation), and I laid before them the Besuras HaGeulah which I proclaim among the Goyim, but I did this privately to the men of repute,#2:2 Ga 2:9 lest I should run, or should prove to have run, L'TOHU (in vain).#2:2 Isa 49:4; 65:23
3But Titos, the one with me, a Yevani (Greek), was not compelled to undergo bris milah.
4But because of the achei sheker (false brothers) b'Moshiach, the ones secretly brought in, the ones who crept in to spy out our DEROR#2:4 Lv 25:10 (freedom) which we have in Moshiach Yehoshua al menat (in order that) they might enslave us.
5To these enslavers not for one hour did we yield in subjection, that HaEmes of the Besuras HaGeulah might continue and remain with you.#2:5 Galatian Goyim
6But from the men of repute whatever they once were matters nothing to me, ki ein masso panim im Hashem (for there is no respect of persons with G-d, no partiality), for to me these men of repute added nothing.
7But, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the Besuras HaGeulah for those without the bris milah, just as Kefa was for those with the bris milah,
8For the One having worked in Kefa for a Shlichus to those with the bris milah also worked in me for a Shlichus to the Goyim.
9And realizing the Chen v'Chesed Hashem having been given to me, Ya'akov#2:9 See Mt 13:55 and Kefa and Yochanan, the men of repute, the ones seeming to be Ammudei HaKehillah (Pillars of the Kehillah), extended to me and to Bar-Nabba the yad yeminam (right hands) as a sign of Achavah B'Moshiach (Brotherhood in Moshiach), that we should be for those of the Goyim, but they for those of the bris milah,
10Only that we should remember the Aniyim (the Poor), the very thing which I was also eager to do.
11But when Kefa came to Antioch, I stood against him to his face, because there was found in him a dvar ashmah (a thing of guilt, condemnation).
12For, before certain ones#2:12 Jerusalem visitors came from Ya'akov, Kefa was as a matter of course sitting at tish at betzi'at halechem (breaking of bread) at the Seudos Moshiach with the Goyim; but, when they came, Kefa drew back and was separating himself, fearing the ones#2:12 the Jerusalem party of the bris milah.#2:12 Ac 15:5
13And the rest of the Yehudim who were ma'aminim b'Moshiach joined with Kefa in this dissembling, so that even Bar-Nabba was carried away with their tzevi'ut (hypocrisy).
14But when I saw that their halichah, their hitnahagut (conduct) was not the Derech HaYashar (Straight Way) with respect to HaEmes of HaBesuras HaGeulah, I said to Kefa before all, “If you, being a Yehudi, have a hitnahagut that is according to the Derech Goyim and not the Derech Yehudim, how do you compel the Goyim to live as the Yehudim?”
15We ourselves are Yehudim by birth and not Goyishe chote'im (sinners).
16Yet we have da'as that a man cannot be YITZDAK IM HASHEM#2:16 Job 25:4 (be justified with G-d) by [depending on] the ma'asim of Gezetz (Law), but through emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. And we have come to have bitachon in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, that we can be YITZDAK IM HASHEM#2:16 Job 25:4 (be justified with G-d) by emunah in Moshiach and not by#2:16 supposed zokheh merit of ma'asim, because by taryag mitzvot KOL CHAI LO YITZDAK#2:16 Ps 143:2 (all living shall not be justified).
17Now, if, by seeking to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM in Moshiach, we ourselves were found also to be chote'im (sinners),#2:17 2:15; Ro 3:9,23 then in that case is Moshiach a kohen for iniquity, a minister serving sin? Chas v'Shalom (G-d forbid)!
18For if what I destroyed, these things I again rebuild,#2:18 Ga 1:23; 5:2 I display myself to be a poshei'a (transgressor).
19For I, through the Torah,#2:19 Ga 3:13 died in relation to the gezetz,#2:19 Ro 7:4-6 so that I might live to Hashem. With Moshiach I have been talui al haetz#2:19 Dt 21:23 (hanging on the tree).
20But it is no longer Anochi (I) who lives, but Moshiach who lives in me, and the Chayyim I now live in the basar, I live by emunah, emunah in the Zun fun der Oybershter,#2:20 Moshiach the one having ahavah (agape) for me and having given himself over, on my behalf.
21I do not set aside the Chen v'Chesed Hashem; for if the MAH (how) an ENOSH (man) is to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM#2:21 Job 25:4 is found through Gezetz chumra, then Moshiach died for nothing and L'TOHU (in vain).#2:21 Isa 49:4; 65:23
