< Galatians 2 >
1 Then fourteen years after I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.
Deinde post annos quattuordecim, iterum ascendi Ierosolymam cum Barnaba, assumpto et Tito.
2 And I went by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run in vain.
Ascendi autem secundum revelationem: et contuli cum illis Evangelium, quod praedico in Gentibus, seorsum autem iis, qui videbantur aliquid esse: ne forte in vacuum currerem, aut cucurrissem.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Sed neque Titus, qui mecum erat, cum esset Gentilis, compulsus est circumcidi:
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
sed propter subintroductos falsos fratres, qui subintroierunt explorare libertatem nostram, quam habemus in Christo Iesu, ut nos in servitutem redigerent.
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Quibus neque ad horam cessimus subiectioni, ut veritas Evangelii permaneat apud vos:
6 But of these, who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person: ) for they who seemed [to be somewhat], in conference added nothing to me:
ab iis autem, qui videbantur esse aliquid, (quales aliquando fuerint, nihil mea interest. Deus personam hominis non accipit) mihi enim qui videbantur esse aliquid, nihil contulerunt.
7 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] to Peter;
Sed econtra cum vidissent quod creditum est mihi Evangelium praeputii, sicut et Petro circumcisionis:
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me towards the Gentiles: )
(qui enim operatus est Petro in Apostolatum circumcisionis, operatus est et mihi inter Gentes)
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.
et cum cognovissent gratiam, quae data est mihi, Iacobus, et Cephas, et Ioannes, qui videbantur columnae esse, dextras dederunt mihi, et Barnabae societatis: ut nos in Gentes, ipsi autem in circumcisionem:
10 Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
tantum ut pauperum memores essemus, quod etiam solicitus fui hoc ipsum facere.
11 But when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
Cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam: in faciem ei restiti, quia reprehensibilis erat.
12 For before that certain came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles: but when they had come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
Prius enim quam venirent quidam a Iacobo, cum Gentibus edebat: cum autem venissent, subtrahebat, et segregabat se timens eos, qui ex circumcisione erant.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
Et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudaei, ita ut et Barnabas duceretur ab eis in illam simulationem.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Sed cum vidissem quod non recte ambularent ad veritatem Evangelii, dixi Cephae coram omnibus: Si tu, cum Iudaeus sis, gentiliter vivis, et non Iudaice: quomodo Gentes cogis Iudaizare?
15 We [who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Nos natura Iudaei, et non ex Gentibus peccatores.
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 may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Scientes autem quod non iustificatur homo ex operibus legis, nisi per fidem Iesu Christi: et nos in Christo Iesu credimus, ut iustificemur ex fide Christi, et non ex operibus legis: propter quod ex operibus legis non iustificabitur omnis caro.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means.
Quod si quaerentes iustificari in Christo, inventi sumus et ipsi peccatores, numquid Christus peccati minister est? Absit.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Si enim quae destruxi, iterum haec aedifico: praevaricatorem me constituo.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I may live to God.
Ego enim per legem, legi mortuus sum, ut Deo vivam: Christo confixus sum cruci.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Vivo autem, iam non ego: vivit vero in me Christus. Quod autem nunc vivo in carne: in fide vivo filii Dei, qui dilexit me, et tradidit semetipsum pro me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness is [attainable] by the law, then Christ hath died in vain.
Non abiicio gratiam Dei. Si enim per legem iustitia, ergo gratis Christus mortuus est.
