Galatas 2
1 Deinde post annos quattuordecim, iterum ascendi Ierosolymam cum Barnaba, assumpto et Tito.
Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.
2 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.
I went up in response to a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were held in high esteem, to make sure that I was not running or had not run in vain.
3 Sed neque Titus, qui mecum erat, cum esset Gentilis, compulsus est circumcidi:
But not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he is a Greek.
4 sed propter subintroductos falsos fratres, qui subintroierunt explorare libertatem nostram, quam habemus in Christo Iesu, ut nos in servitutem redigerent.
Now this matter arose because of the false brothers who were secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us.
5 Quibus neque ad horam cessimus subiectioni, ut veritas Evangelii permaneat apud vos:
But we did not yield to them in submission for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
6 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.
Now from those who were esteemed to be something (what sort of men they once were makes no difference to me; God does not show partiality)—those, I say, who were held in high esteem added nothing to me.
7 Sed econtra cum vidissent quod creditum est mihi Evangelium praeputii, sicut et Petro circumcisionis:
On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised.
8 (qui enim operatus est Petro in Apostolatum circumcisionis, operatus est et mihi inter Gentes)
For he who worked through Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised also worked through me in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
9 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:
When James, Cephas, and John, who were esteemed as pillars of the church, recognized the grace given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and that they should go to the circumcised.
10 tantum ut pauperum memores essemus, quod etiam solicitus fui hoc ipsum facere.
They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
11 Cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam: in faciem ei restiti, quia reprehensibilis erat.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
12 Prius enim quam venirent quidam a Iacobo, cum Gentibus edebat: cum autem venissent, subtrahebat, et segregabat se timens eos, qui ex circumcisione erant.
For he regularly ate with the Gentiles until certain men came from James. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself because he was afraid of the circumcision faction.
13 Et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudaei, ita ut et Barnabas duceretur ab eis in illam simulationem.
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
14 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?
But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly in accordance with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “If yoʋ, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do yoʋ compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
15 Nos natura Iudaei, et non ex Gentibus peccatores.
We who are Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners
16 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.
know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by works of the law.
17 Quod si quaerentes iustificari in Christo, inventi sumus et ipsi peccatores, numquid Christus peccati minister est? Absit.
But if we ourselves have also been found to be sinners while seeking to be justified in Christ, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!
18 Si enim quae destruxi, iterum haec aedifico: praevaricatorem me constituo.
For if I build up again the very things that I tore down, I show myself to be a transgressor.
19 Ego enim per legem, legi mortuus sum, ut Deo vivam: Christo confixus sum cruci.
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.
20 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.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life that 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 Non abiicio gratiam Dei. Si enim per legem iustitia, ergo gratis Christus mortuus est.
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
