Galatians 2
1 Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.
Depois, passados quatorze annos, subi outra vez a Jerusalem com Barnabé, levando tambem comigo Tito.
2 And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.
E subi por uma revelação, e lhes expuz o evangelho, que prégo entre os gentios, e particularmente aos que estavam em estima; para que de maneira alguma não corresse ou houvesse corrido em vão
3 But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was made to undergo circumcision:
Porém nem ainda Tito, que estava comigo, sendo grego, foi constrangido a circumcidar-se;
4 And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;
E isto por causa dos falsos irmãos que se tinham entremettido, e secretamente entraram a espiar a nossa liberdade, que temos em Christo Jesus, para nos pôrem em servidão:
5 To whom we gave way not even for an hour; so that the true words of the good news might still be with you.
Aos quaes nem ainda por uma hora cedemos com sujeição, para que a verdade do evangelho permanecesse entre vós,
6 But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;
E, quanto áquelles que pareciam ser alguma coisa (quaes tenham sido n'outro tempo, não se me dá; Deus não acceita a apparencia do homem) esses, digo, que pareciam ser alguma coisa, nada me communicaram;
7 But, quite the opposite, when they saw that I had been made responsible for preaching the good news to those without circumcision, even as Peter had been for those of the circumcision
Antes, pelo contrario, quando viram que o evangelho da incircumcisão me estava confiado, como a Pedro o da circumcisão
8 (Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among the Gentiles);
(Porque aquelle que operou efficazmente em Pedro para o apostolado da circumcisão esse operou tambem em mim com efficacia para com os gentios),
9 When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;
E conhecendo Thiago, Cephas e João, que eram considerados como as columnas, a graça que se me havia dado, deram as dextras de parceria comigo, e a Barnabé, para que nós fossemos aos gentios, e elles á circumcisão;
10 Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor; which very thing I had much in mind to do.
Recommendando-nos sómente que nos lembrassemos dos pobres: o que tambem procurei fazer com diligencia.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.
E, chegando Pedro a Antiochia, lhe resisti na cara, porque era reprehensivel.
12 For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
Porque, antes que alguns tivessem chegado da parte de Thiago, comia com os gentios; mas, depois que chegaram, se retirou, e se apartou d'elles, temendo aos que eram da circumcisão.
13 And the rest of the Jews went after him, so that even Barnabas was overcome by their false ways.
E os outros judeos consentiam tambem na sua dissimulação, de maneira que até Barnabé se deixou levar pela sua dissimulação.
14 But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?
Mas, quando vi que não andavam bem e direitamente conforme a verdade do evangelho, disse a Pedro na presença de todos: Se tu, sendo judeo, vives como os gentios, e não como judeo, porque obrigas os gentios a viverem como judeos?
15 We being Jews by birth, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Nós somos judeos por natureza e não peccadores d'entre os gentios.
16 Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.
Sabendo que o homem não é justificado pelas obras da lei, mas pela fé de Jesus Christo, havemos tambem crido em Jesus Christo, para sermos justificados pela fé de Christo, e não pelas obras da lei; porquanto pelas obras da lei nenhuma carne será justificada.
17 But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!
Pois, se nós que procuramos ser justificados em Christo, nós mesmos tambem somos achados peccadores, é porventura Christo ministro do peccado? De maneira nenhuma.
18 For if I put up again those things which I gave to destruction, I am seen to be a wrongdoer.
Porque, se torno a vivificar as coisas que já destrui, constituo-me a mim mesmo transgressor.
19 For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.
Porque eu pela lei estou morto para a lei, para viver para Deus.
20 I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.
Já estou crucificado com Christo; e vivo, não mais eu, mas Christo vive em mim; e a vida que agora vivo na carne vivo a na fé do Filho de Deus, o qual me amou, e se entregou a si mesmo por mim.
21 I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.
Não aniquilo a graça de Deus; porque, se a justiça provém da lei, segue-se que Christo morreu debalde.
