< Galatians 2 >

1 FOURTEEN years afterwards I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also along with us.
επειτα δια δεκατεσσαρων ετων παλιν ανεβην εισ ιεροσολυμα μετα βαρναβα συμπαραλαβων και τιτον
2 And I went up then by revelation, and laid before them that gospel which I preach among the Heathen, but in private conference with those who were of the first importance, that haply I might not run, nor had run in vain.
ανεβην δε κατα αποκαλυψιν και ανεθεμην αυτοισ το ευαγγελιον ο κηρυσσω εν τοισ εθνεσιν κατ ιδιαν δε τοισ δοκουσιν μηπωσ εισ κενον τρεχω η εδραμον
3 And even Titus, who was with me, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised:
αλλ ουδε τιτοσ ο συν εμοι ελλην ων ηναγκασθη περιτμηθηναι
4 but this I did because of false brethren artfully introduced, who came to pry into our liberty which we hold in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
δια δε τουσ παρεισακτουσ ψευδαδελφουσ οιτινεσ παρεισηλθον κατασκοπησαι την ελευθεριαν ημων ην εχομεν εν χριστω ιησου ινα ημασ καταδουλωσωνται
5 to whom not even for an hour have we yielded subjection, that the truth of the gospel might abide with you.
οισ ουδε προσ ωραν ειξαμεν τη υποταγη ινα η αληθεια του ευαγγελιου διαμεινη προσ υμασ
6 But from those who appeared men of the greatest importance, (what sort of men soever they were it maketh no difference to me: God accepteth not a man’s person; ) for these important personages in conference added nothing to me;
απο δε των δοκουντων ειναι τι οποιοι ποτε ησαν ουδεν μοι διαφερει προσωπον θεοσ ανθρωπου ου λαμβανει εμοι γαρ οι δοκουντεσ ουδεν προσανεθεντο
7 but contrariwise when they saw that I was entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcision, as Peter was to the circumcision:
αλλα τουναντιον ιδοντεσ οτι πεπιστευμαι το ευαγγελιον τησ ακροβυστιασ καθωσ πετροσ τησ περιτομησ
8 (for he that wrought powerfully by Peter in his apostolic mission to the circumcision, wrought mightily also by me among the Gentiles.)
ο γαρ ενεργησασ πετρω εισ αποστολην τησ περιτομησ ενηργησεν και εμοι εισ τα εθνη
9 And when they knew the grace which was bestowed on me, James and Cephas and John, who appeared to be the pillars of the church, gave unto me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision:
και γνοντεσ την χαριν την δοθεισαν μοι ιακωβοσ και κηφασ και ιωαννησ οι δοκουντεσ στυλοι ειναι δεξιασ εδωκαν εμοι και βαρναβα κοινωνιασ ινα ημεισ μεν εισ τα εθνη αυτοι δε εισ την περιτομην
10 only desiring that we would remember the poor―the very thing which I have also been diligent to perform.
μονον των πτωχων ινα μνημονευωμεν ο και εσπουδασα αυτο τουτο ποιησαι
11 But when Peter came to Antioch I withstood him to his face, because he was blameable.
οτε δε ηλθεν πετροσ εισ αντιοχειαν κατα προσωπον αυτω αντεστην οτι κατεγνωσμενοσ ην
12 For before certain persons came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles, but when they were come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.
προ του γαρ ελθειν τινασ απο ιακωβου μετα των εθνων συνησθιεν οτε δε ηλθον υπεστελλεν και αφωριζεν εαυτον φοβουμενοσ τουσ εκ περιτομησ
13 And the other Jews were guilty of the same dissimulation with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.
και συνυπεκριθησαν αυτω και οι λοιποι ιουδαιοι ωστε και βαρναβασ συναπηχθη αυτων τη υποκρισει
14 But when I saw that they walked not directly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to judaize?
αλλ οτε ειδον οτι ουκ ορθοποδουσιν προσ την αληθειαν του ευαγγελιου ειπον τω πετρω εμπροσθεν παντων ει συ ιουδαιοσ υπαρχων εθνικωσ ζησ και ουκ ιουδαικωσ τι τα εθνη αναγκαζεισ ιουδαιζειν
15 We who are Jews by descent, and not sinners sprung from Gentiles,
ημεισ φυσει ιουδαιοι και ουκ εξ εθνων αμαρτωλοι
16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law; because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
ειδοτεσ οτι ου δικαιουται ανθρωποσ εξ εργων νομου εαν μη δια πιστεωσ ιησου χριστου και ημεισ εισ χριστον ιησουν επιστευσαμεν ινα δικαιωθωμεν εκ πιστεωσ χριστου και ουκ εξ εργων νομου διοτι ου δικαιωθησεται εξ εργων νομου πασα σαρξ
17 For if seeking to be justified by Christ, we also ourselves should be found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? God forbid.
ει δε ζητουντεσ δικαιωθηναι εν χριστω ευρεθημεν και αυτοι αμαρτωλοι αρα χριστοσ αμαρτιασ διακονοσ μη γενοιτο
18 For if I build up again the very same things which I have pulled down, I stamp myself a transgressor.
ει γαρ α κατελυσα ταυτα παλιν οικοδομω παραβατην εμαυτον συνιστημι
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I should live unto God.
εγω γαρ δια νομου νομω απεθανον ινα θεω ζησω
20 I am crucified with Christ, yet I live; though no more I, but Christ liveth in me: and my present life in the flesh, is a life by faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and delivered up himself for me.
χριστω συνεσταυρωμαι ζω δε ουκετι εγω ζη δε εν εμοι χριστοσ ο δε νυν ζω εν σαρκι εν πιστει ζω τη του υιου του θεου του αγαπησαντοσ με και παραδοντοσ εαυτον υπερ εμου
21 I do not set at nought the grace of God; for if righteousness came by the law, truly Christ hath died in vain.
ουκ αθετω την χαριν του θεου ει γαρ δια νομου δικαιοσυνη αρα χριστοσ δωρεαν απεθανεν
