2:11 But when Cephas ¹  came to Antioch, ²  I opposed him to his face, because he had clearly done wrong. ³  2:12 Until ⁴  certain people came from James, he had been eating with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he stopped doing this ⁵  and separated himself ⁶  because he was afraid of those who were pro-circumcision. ⁷  2:13 And the rest of the Jews also joined with him in this hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led astray with them ⁸  by their hypocrisy. 2:14 But when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas ⁹  in front of them all, “If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to force ¹⁰  the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

2:15 We are Jews by birth ¹¹  and not Gentile sinners, ¹²  2:16 yet we know ¹³  that no one ¹⁴  is justified by the works of the law ¹⁵  but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. ¹⁶  And ¹⁷  we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by the faithfulness of Christ ¹⁸  and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one ¹⁹  will be justified. 2:17 But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves have also been found to be sinners, is Christ then one who encourages ²⁰  sin? Absolutely not! 2:18 But if I build up again those things I once destroyed, ²¹  I demonstrate that I am one who breaks God’s law. ²²  2:19 For through the law I died to the law so that I may live to God. 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, ²³  and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So ²⁴  the life I now live in the body, ²⁵  I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, ²⁶  who loved me and gave himself for me. 2:21 I do not set aside ²⁷  God’s grace, because if righteousness ²⁸  could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing! ²⁹ 

3:1 Now ¹  the serpent ²  was more shrewd ³ 

than any of the wild animals ⁴  that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Is it really true that ⁵  God ⁶  said, ‘You must not eat from any tree of the orchard’?” ⁷  3:2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat ⁸  of the fruit from the trees of the orchard; 3:3 but concerning the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the orchard God said, ‘You must not eat from it, and you must not touch it, ⁹  or else you will die.’” ¹⁰  3:4 The serpent said to the woman, “Surely you will not die, ¹¹  3:5 for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open ¹²  and you will be like divine beings who know ¹³  good and evil.” ¹⁴ 

4:9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” ¹  And he replied, “I don’t know! Am I my brother’s guardian?” ²  4:10 But the Lord said, “What have you done? ³  The voice ⁴  of your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground!
