About Galatians 2Fourteen years later Paul goes up to Jerusalem with Barnabas and Titus, and the leaders, "James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars," give them "the right hands of fellowship," while Titus, "being a Greek," is not compelled to be circumcised. At Antioch Paul withstands Peter "to the face," because Peter had eaten with the Gentiles but withdrew when "certain came from James," fearing those of the circumcision. Paul states the heart of the gospel: "a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ," and "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me."
