Galatians 2:11-16 (New American Standard)
Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul
11 But when 1Cephas came to 2Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he astood condemned. 12 For prior to the coming of certain men from b3James, he used to 4eat with the Gentiles ; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, 5fearing cthe party of the circumcision. 13 The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even 6Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they 7were not dstraightforward about 8the truth of the gospel, I said to 9Cephas in the presence of all, "If you, being a Jew, 10live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews ? e 15 "We are 11Jews by nature and not 12sinners from among the Gentiles ; 16 nevertheless knowing that 13a man is not justified by the works of fthe Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by 14faith in Christ and not by the works of gthe Law ; since 15by the works of hthe Law no iflesh will be justified.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
