And if you are trying to force your own notion inside that passage by interpreting it to mean two different gospels, the gospel of Jesus for the Jews, and the teachings of Paul for the Gentiles, then you must demonstrate your notion from elsewhere in the NT, because your notion everywhere disagrees with Jesus, who says that
-he was sent to the world, not just to the Jews (John 17:18),
-his gospel will be taken away from the Jews and given to a nation/people (Gentiles) who will produce its fruit (Matthew 21:43),
-his disciples were to take his gospel to all nations, not just to the Jews, making disciples of them (Matthew 28:19),
-the Temple was to be a house of prayer for the nations, not just for the Jews (Mark 11:17),
-his gospel was to be preached to all nations, not just to the Jews (Mark 13:10),
-repentance and forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all nations, not just to the Jews (Luke 24:47),
-his gospel is to be preached throughout the whole world, not just to the Jews (Matthew 26:13),
-he tells his gospel to the world, not just to the Jews (John 8:26),
-he was a light to the world, not just to the Jews (John 12:46),
-he was an example of love and obedience to the Father for the world, not just for the Jews (John 14:31),
-the unity of the apostles was to be a witness to the world, not just to the Jews, that he was sent by God (John 17:21, 23)
-he came into the world to testify to the truth, and everyone, on the side of truth, not just the Jews, listens to him (John 18:37).

Jesus everywhere rejects your notion that his gospel is only for/to the Jews, and thereby makes his gospel for/to the whole world, which gospel Peter, James and John took to the Jews, and Paul took to the Gentiles.
If you don’t wish to use the kjv, just say so, then we can move on, agreeing to disagree
It's not only me with whom you disagree.

Falls somewhat short of addressing Jesus' words which likewise disagree with you
big time in the above.

Non-responsive.

As I said, if you are unwilling to quote the KJV, we can move on.

Falls somewhat short of addressing Jesus' words which overwhelmingly show your abuse of
Galatians 2:7-9.

Do you realized what you should actually say is I fell "somewhat short of addressing my interpretation of Jesus' words"?

The words I included in bold is what, if you have an open mind, should be including.

If we have to choose between "saved" or "faith" as the gift of God, then I would definitely go with "saved," since Scripture teaches us that salvation is the gift of God, and that we appropriate to ourselves that saving grace by a personal faith in Lord Jesus.

Blessings
It is not a matter of choosing. It is a matter that is to be decided by what is written.

Joshua 24:14-15 (NIV)
14 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Great verses! However They have nothing to do with what we are talking about. A given verse says what God intended. We are not to choose what we want but go by what is written if possible

Good morning. I see what you mean. My thought was that the Passage was relevant. God's intention is for us to choose what He has already fully revealed in His Word, rather than leaning to our own opinions.

Assertion without Biblical demonstration is assertion without Biblical merit.

Non-responsive.

It falls to you to Biblically demonstrate where I am in disagreement with NT teaching.
This you have not done, and cannot do.

In order to demonstrate to you, you must first show that you can accept that your view is just one of the many views out there.

You can explain to others but you cannot understand for others.

Regarding your notion of two different gospels,
the gospel of Jesus for the Jews, and the teachings of Paul for the Gentiles,

it falls to you to Biblically demonstrate where I am in disagreement with NT teaching in the following, where Jesus says:
-he was sent to the world, not just to the Jews (John 17:18),
-his gospel will be taken away from the Jews and given to a nation/people (Gentiles) who will produce its fruit (Matthew 21:43),
-his disciples were to take his gospel to all nations, not just to the Jews, making disciples of them (Matthew 28:19),
-the Temple was to be a house of prayer for the nations, not just for the Jews (Mark 11:17),
-his gospel was to be preached to all nations, not just to the Jews (Mark 13:10),
-repentance and forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all nations, not just to the Jews (Luke 24:47),
-his gospel is to be preached throughout the whole world, not just to the Jews (Matthew 26:13),
-he tells his gospel to the world, not just to the Jews (John 8:26),
-he was a light to the world, not just to the Jews (John 12:46),
-he was an example of love and obedience to the Father for the world, not just for the Jews (John 14:31),
-the unity of the apostles was to be a witness to the world, not just to the Jews, that he was sent by God (John 17:21, 23)
-he came into the world to testify to the truth, and everyone, on the side of truth, not just the Jews, listens to him (John 18:37).

This you have not done, and cannot do.

Non sequitur.

The same can be said of Jesus' statements.
You can explain to others but you cannot understand for others.
Non-responsive, again.
