Galatians 2:10
Compare all
8 (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the acircumcised balso cworked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),  
9 and when James,1 Cephas, and John, who seemed to be apillars, perceived bthe grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, cthat we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.  
10 They desired only that we should remember the poor, athe very thing which I also was eager to do.  

No Return to the Law

11 aNow when1 Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;  
12 for before certain men came from James, ahe would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing1 those who were of the circumcision.  
13 And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about athe truth of the gospel, I said to Peter bbefore them all, c“If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews,1 why do you compel Gentiles to live as2 Jews?  
15 aWe who are Jews by nature, and not bsinners of the Gentiles,  
16 aknowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but bby faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not cby the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.  
17 “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found asinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!  
18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I athrough the law bdied to the law that I might clive to God.  
20 I have been acrucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh bI live by faith in the Son of God, cwho loved me and gave Himself for me.  
21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for aif righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died1 in vain.”
