* But when Peter was come to Antioch , I withstood him to the face , because he was to be blamed . * 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 . * And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him ; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation . * 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 ? * We who are Jews by nature , and not sinners of the Gentiles , * 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 . * 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 . * For if I build again the things which I destroyed , I make myself a transgressor . * For I through the law am dead to the law , that I might live unto God . * 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 . * I do not frustrate the grace of God : for if righteousness come by the law , then Christ is dead in vain .
