Galatians 2

1 Then, fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas; taking Titus with me also.

And sith fourtene yeer aftir, eftsones Y wente vp to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took with me Tite.

2 And I went up by revelation; and communicated to them the gospel which I proclaimed to the Gentiles; but privately to them who were of reputation; lest, perhaps, I should run, or had run in vain.

Y wente vp bi reuelacioun, and spak with hem the euangelie, which Y preche among the hethene; and bi hem silf to these that semeden to be sumwhat, lest Y runne, or hadde runne in veyne.

3 However, neither Titus, who was with me, though a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised,

And nother Tite, that hadde be with me, while he was hethene, was compellid to be circumsidid;

4 even on account of the false brethren secretly introduced; (who came in privily to spy out our liberty, which we have by Jesus Christ, that they might bring us into bondage; )

but for false britheren that weren brouyt ynne, whiche hadden entrid to aspie oure fredom, which we han in Jhesu Crist, to bring vs in to seruage.

5 nor did we give place to them by submission, not even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

But we yyue no place to subieccioun, that the treuthe of the gospel schulde dwelle with you.

6 Besides, from them who were of reputation, I received nothing; (whatever they were formerly, is no matter to me: God respects not a man's appearance. For they who were of reputation, communicated nothing to me.)

But of these that semeden to be sumwhat; whiche thei weren sum tyme, it perteyneth not to me, for God takith not the persoone of man; for thei that semeden to be sumwhat, yauen me no thing.

7 But, on the contrary, perceiving that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, just as Peter was with that of the circumcision;

But ayenward, whanne thei hadden seyn, that the euangelie of prepucie was youun to me, as the euangelie of circumcisioun was youun to Petre;

8 (for he who wrought effectually in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision, also wrought effectually in me for the Gentiles):

for he that wrouyte to Petre in apostlehed of circumcisioun, wrouyte also to me among the hethene;

9 even James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, having perceived the favor granted to me, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we, indeed, should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

and whanne thei hadden knowe the grace of God, that was youun to me, James, and Petre, and Joon, whiche weren seyn to be the pileris, thei yauen riythond of felowschip to me and to Barnabas, that we among the hethene, and thei in to circumcisioun;

10 requesting only, that we would remember the poor, which very thing I had also been diligent to do.

oneli that we hadde mynde of pore men `of Crist, the which thing Y was ful bisi to doon.

11 Moreover, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was to be blamed.

But whanne Petre was comun to Antioche, Y ayenstood hym in the face, for he was worthi to be vndirnommen.

12 For, before certain persons came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew, and separated himself, being afraid of them of the circumcision.

For bifor that ther camen summen fro James, he eete with the hethene men; but whanne thei weren comun, he withdrowy, and departide hym, dredinge hem that weren of circumcisioun.

13 And the other Jews also dissembled with them, insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

And the othere Jewis assentiden to his feynyng, so that Barnabas was drawun of hem in to that feynyng.

14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly, according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter, before them all--If you, being a Jew, live after the manner of the Gentiles, and not after the manner of the Jews, why do you compel the Gentiles to Judaize?

But whanne Y sawy, that thei walkiden not riytli to the treuthe of the gospel, Y seide to Petre bifor alle men, If thou, that art a Jew, lyuest hethenlich, and not Jewelich, hou constreynest thou hethene men to bicome Jewis?

15 We, who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

We Jewis of kynde, and not synful men of the hethene,

16 knowing that man is not justified by works of law, but only through the faith of Jesus Christ; even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law; for by works of law no flesh shall be justified.

knowen that a man is not iustified of the werkis of lawe, but bi the feith of Jhesu Crist; and we bileuen in Jhesu Crist, that we ben iustified of the feith of Crist, and not of the werkis of lawe. Wherfor of the werkis of lawe ech fleisch schal not be iustified.

17 But if seeking to be justified by Christ, even we ourselves are found sinners, is Christ, then, the minister of sin? By no means.

And if we sechen to be iustified in Crist, we oure silf ben foundun synful men, whether Crist be mynystre of synne?

18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I constitute myself a transgressor.

God forbede. And if Y bylde ayen thingis that Y haue distruyed, Y make my silf a trespassour.

19 Besides, I, through law, have died to law, that I might live to God.

For bi the lawe Y am deed to the lawe, and Y am fitchid to the crosse, that Y lyue to God with Crist.

20 I am crucified together with Christ. Nevertheless, I live; yet not longer I, but Christ lives in me: for the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith which is of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

And now lyue not Y, but Crist lyueth in me. But that Y lyue now in fleisch, Y lyue in the feith of Goddis sone, that louede me, and yaf hym silf for me.

21 I do not set aside the favor of God. For if righteousness is through law, then certainly Christ has died in vain.

Y caste not awey the grace of God; for if riytwisnesse be thoruy lawe, thanne Crist diede with out cause.
