Galatas 2

1 deinde post annos quattuordecim iterum ascendi Hierosolyma cum Barnaba adsumpto et Tito

Fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.

2 ascendi autem secundum revelationem et contuli cum illis evangelium quod praedico in gentibus seorsum autem his qui videbantur ne forte in vacuum currerem aut cucurrissem

But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain.

3 sed neque Titus qui mecum erat cum esset gentilis conpulsus est circumcidi

But even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised;

4 sed propter subintroductos falsos fratres qui subintroierunt explorare libertatem nostram quam habemus in Christo Iesu ut nos in servitutem redigerent

and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

5 quibus neque ad horam cessimus subiectioni ut veritas evangelii permaneat apud vos

to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

6 ab his autem qui videbantur esse aliquid quales aliquando fuerint nihil mea interest Deus personam hominis non accipit mihi enim qui videbantur nihil contulerunt

And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.

7 sed e contra cum vidissent quod creditum est mihi evangelium praeputii sicut Petro circumcisionis

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

8 qui enim operatus est Petro in apostolatum circumcisionis operatus est et mihi inter gentes

(for He who wrought effectually in Peter as to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought effectually also in me as to the gentiles: )

9 et cum cognovissent gratiam quae data est mihi Iacobus et Cephas et Iohannes qui videbantur columnae esse dextras dederunt mihi et Barnabae societatis ut nos in gentes ipsi autem in circumcisionem

and knowing the grace which was given to me; James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars of the church, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

10 tantum ut pauperum memores essemus quod etiam sollicitus fui hoc ipsum facere

Only desiring that we would remember the poor: which I also was forward to do.

11 cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam in faciem ei restiti quia reprehensibilis erat

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was indeed to be blamed.

12 prius enim quam venirent quidam ab Iacobo cum gentibus edebat cum autem venissent subtrahebat et segregabat se timens eos qui ex circumcisione erant

For before certain men came from James, he did eat with the gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.

13 et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudaei ita ut et Barnabas duceretur ab eis in illa simulatione

And the rest of the Jews dissembled also with him; so that Barnabas too was carried away with their dissimulation.

14 sed cum vidissem quod non recte ambularent ad veritatem evangelii dixi Cephae coram omnibus si tu cum Iudaeus sis gentiliter et non iudaice vivis quomodo gentes cogis iudaizare

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, who art a Jew, livest sometimes after the manner of the gentiles, and not like the Jews, why dost thou now in a manner compel the gentiles to judaize?

15 nos natura Iudaei et non ex gentibus peccatores

We, who are Jews by birth, and not sinners of the gentiles,

16 scientes autem quod non iustificatur homo ex operibus legis nisi per fidem Iesu Christi et nos in Christo Iesu credidimus ut iustificemur ex fide Christi et non ex operibus legis propter quod ex operibus legis non iustificabitur omnis caro

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

17 quod si quaerentes iustificari in Christo inventi sumus et ipsi peccatores numquid Christus peccati minister est absit

But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sin?

18 si enim quae destruxi haec iterum aedifico praevaricatorem me constituo

God forbid. And if I build again the same things which I demolished, I shew myself a transgressor: for I through the law am dead to the law,

19 ego enim per legem legi mortuus sum ut Deo vivam Christo confixus sum cruci

that I might live unto 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 se ipsum pro me

I am crucified with Christ; yet I live, though no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave up himself for me.

21 non abicio gratiam Dei si enim per legem iustitia ergo Christus gratis mortuus est

I do not frustate the grace of God: for if righteousness be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
