2:1 | Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. |
2:2 | And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. |
2:3 | But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: |
2:4 | And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: |
2:5 | To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. |
2:6 | But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: |
2:7 | But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; |
2:8 | (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) |
2:8 | (那感動彼得、叫他為受割禮之人作使徒的、也感動我、叫我為外邦人作使徒) |
2:8 | (那感动彼得,叫他为受割礼之人作使徒的,也感动我,叫我为外邦人作使徒) |
act:9:15 | But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: |
act:13:46 | Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. |
act:22:21 | And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles. |
act:26:17 | Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, |
act:26:18 | To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. |
rom:11:13 | For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: |
gal:1:16 | To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: |
COBL | |
2:9 | And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. |
2:10 | Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. |
2:11 | But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. |
2:12 | For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. |
2:13 | And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. |
2:14 | But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? |
2:15 | We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, |
2:16 | Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. |
2:17 | But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. |
2:18 | For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. |
2:19 | For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. |
2:20 | I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. |
2:21 | I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. |
