11后来，彼得到了安提阿，因他做错了事，我就当面责备他。12从雅各那里来的人还没有抵达之前，彼得和外族的信徒一起吃饭。但那些人抵达以后，彼得因为怕那些坚持行割礼的犹太人批评，就与外族的信徒分开了。13其他的犹太基督徒也跟着彼得装假，甚至连巴拿巴也随从了他们的虚伪。14我看见他们不照福音的真理行，就当众对彼得说：“你身为犹太人，如果行事为人像外族人，不像犹太人，又怎能强迫外族人按犹太人的规矩生活呢？”15我们生来是犹太人，不是外族罪人，16但我们知道人被称为义人不是靠遵行律法，而是靠信耶稣基督。所以我们信了基督耶稣，以便因信基督而被称为义人，而不是靠遵行律法，因为无人能够靠遵行律法而被称为义人。17如果我们指望在基督里被称为义人，结果却仍是罪人，难道基督助长罪恶吗？当然不是！18倘若我重建我所拆毁的东西，就表明我是罪人。19事实上，我因无法满足律法的要求而向律法死了，不再受它的束缚，使我可以为上帝而活。20我已经与基督一同被钉在十字架上，现在活着的不再是我，而是基督活在我里面。我现在是靠信上帝的儿子而活着，祂爱我，为我舍命。21我不废弃上帝的恩典，倘若靠遵行律法可以成为义人，基督的死便毫无意义了。
English Standard Version
Paul Accepted by the Apostles
1Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.2I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain.3But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.4Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—5to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.6And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me.7On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised8(for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),9and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.10Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
Paul Opposes Peter
11But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.12For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.*13And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.14But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Justified by Faith
15We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;16yet we know that a person is not justified* by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.17But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!18For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.19For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.20I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.21I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness* were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
