Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲙⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲉⲁⲓϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲕⲉ ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ
2 I went up by revelation, and I explained to them the Good News which I preach among those who are not Jewish, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲓⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲥⲁⲩⲥⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲡⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲡⲱⲧ
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲕⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲉⲩϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲥⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲁⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ
5 to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲁ ⲧⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲅⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
6 But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people)—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲥⲉϫⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲉϥϫⲓϩⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲩⲉϩ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcision
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ
8 (for he who appointed Peter to be an apostle of the circumcision appointed me also to the non-Jews);
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ϩⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the non-Jews, and they to the circumcised.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲕⲏⲫⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲇⲉⲝⲓⲁ ⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
ⲓ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲕⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲡⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲁⲁϥ
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲕⲏⲫⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ ⲁⲓⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲁⲩϭⲛⲁⲣⲓⲕⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ
12 For before some people came from James, he ate with those who were not Jewish. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲉϩⲧϥ ⲁϥⲥⲁϩⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲁ ⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲉⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ
14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the non-Jews do, and not as the Jews do, how can you compel the non-Jews to live as the Jews do?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲓ ⲛⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲕⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲓ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲕⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲍⲉ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
15 "We, being Jews by birth, and not non-Jewish sinners,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲫⲩⲥⲓ ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
16 yet knowing that no one is justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ
17 But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲥⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲣⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓϣⲣϣⲱⲣⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϯⲕⲱⲧ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϯⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲧⲏⲥ
19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

21 I do not make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing."
