13. And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.
14. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15. We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16. yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, save through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17. But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.
18. For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.
19. For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.
20. I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live; and yet no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
21. I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.
