Galatians 2: 11-15, 20 and 3: 26-28
- When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he
was clearly in the wrong.
- Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the
Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate
himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged
to the circumcision group.
- The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their
hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
- When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the
gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet
you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you
force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
- "We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners'
- I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ
lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son
of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
- for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves
with Christ.
- There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for
you are all one in Christ Jesus.
