The Minister Proclaimed The Gospel To Those Who Had Drifted Away
Study 4: Galatians 2:11-21 —Teacher’s Outline and Study Bible
™
D. The Minister Proclaimed the
Gospel to Those Who Had
Drifted Away, 2:11-21
11 But when Peter was come to
Antioch, I withstood him to the
face, because he was to be blamed.
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.
13 And the other Jews dissembled
likewise with him; insomuch that
Barnabas also 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 Peter be-
fore them all, If thou, being a Jew,
livest after the manner of Gentiles,
and not as do the Jews, why com-
pellest thou the Gentiles to live as
do the Jews?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and
not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 Knowing that a man is not justi-
fied 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.
17 But if, while we seek to be justi-
fied by Christ, we ourselves also
are found sinners, is therefore
Christ the minister of sin? God for-
bid.
18 For if I build again the things
which I destroyed, I make myself a
transgressor.
19 For I through the law am dead to
the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nev-
ertheless 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.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of
God: for if righteousness come by
the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
