New Testament

Galatians Chapter 2

   

Fourteen years later, once more in Jerusalem,
(With Barnabus and Titus), as I preached to them
False brethren pressed Titus, Greek, to be circumcised,
Spying out our liberty to bind with lies.
We stood for truth, bearers to Gentiles of God's Word -
Like Peter to Jews - 'til he, James and John concurred.
But later Peter, in Antioch, was to blame,
For he ate with Gentiles till some Jews from James came,
Then separated; I told him - publicly too -
"You've lived like a Gentile, don't make them live like you."
We're saved by faith, not works; the law brings death, not life,
I don't rebuild old things; I'm crucified with Christ.
