Galatians 2:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
14 But when I saw that they were not walking-straight[a] with regard to the truth of the good-news, I said to Cephas in front of everyone— “If you being a Jew are living Gentile-ly[b] and not Jewish-ly[c], how is it you are compelling the Gentiles to Judaize[d]?”
Even We Jews Are Declared Righteous By Faith In Christ, Not By Works of The Law
15 We[e] are Jews by nature, and not sinners from the Gentiles. 16 But knowing that a person[f] is not declared-righteous by works of the Law except[g] through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, in order that we might be declared-righteous by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law, because by works of the Law no flesh will be declared-righteous.
