< Galatians 2 >

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

2 I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
ᎠᎴ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏅᏋᏁᎸᎢ ᏅᏓᏳᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅᎩ ᎠᏇᏅᏒᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᏥᏴᏁᎸ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎦᏥᏯᎵᏥᏙᏁᎲᎢ; ᎠᏂᏏᏴᏫᎭᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏕᎵᏛ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᏥᏴᏁᎸᎩ ᏗᏂᏃᏣᎵ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏯᏎᎦᎩ ᎠᏎᏉ ᏱᏙᏥᏍᏆᎸᏓ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎᏉ ᏱᏓᎩᏍᏆᎸᏔᏅ ᎠᏇᎵᏒᎩ.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏓᏓᏏ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏕᎯ, ᎠᎪᎢ ᏂᎨᏒ, ᎠᏎ ᎠᏥᎤᏍᏕᏎᏗ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ;
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,
ᎠᎴ ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᎤᎾᏠᎾᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᏄᏪᎵᏍᏛᎾ ᎨᏥᏴᏔᏂᎸᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏕᎵᏛ ᎤᏂᏴᎵᎸ ᎤᏂᎨᏛᏗᏱ ᎣᎦᏓᏤᎵᎦᏯ ᎨᏒ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ ᎣᎩᎲᎢ, ᏦᎩᎾᏝᎢ ᎢᎪᎬᏁᏗᏱ;
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.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᏝ ᏑᏟᎶᏛ ᎤᏅ ᎢᎪᎯᏛ ᎤᎾᏁᎳᎩ ᏱᏙᏤᎵᏎᎴᎢ ᎡᎳᏗ ᏂᏙᏣᏛᏁᎲᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏁᎮᏛ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎬᏩᏍᏗᎭ ᎢᎬᏩᏍᏗᎭ ᎢᏤᎳᏗᏓᏍᏗᏱ.
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
Ꮎ-ᏍᎩᏂᏃ ᏰᎵ ᏗᏂᏃᏨᎵ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᎾᏍᏛᎢ ᎥᏝ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏋᏁᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏱᎦᎸᏉᏗᎭ ᎩᎶ ᏄᏍᏛᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᏗᏂᏃᏣᎵ ᎨᏒ ᎥᏝ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏱᎬᎩᏁᏉᎡᎴᎢ;
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
Ꭰ-ᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏗᏢ, ᎤᏂᎪᎲ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏂᏗᎨᏥᎤᏍᏕᏎᎸᎾ [ ᎤᎾᏛᎪᏗᏱ ] ᎠᏴ ᎥᏆᎨᏅᏛᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏗᎨᏥᏅᏍᏕᏎᎸᎯ [ ᎤᎾᏛᎪᏗᏱ ] ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏈᏓ ᏣᎦᎨᏅᏕᎢ;
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
( ᎾᏍᎩᏂ ᏈᏓ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎢᏳᏩᏁᎯ ᎠᏥᏅᏏᏛ ᎨᏒ ᏗᎨᏥᎤᏍᏕᏎᎸᎯ ᎤᏁᏤᎵᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏴ ᎠᏆᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎾᏋᏁᎲᎩ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᏕᏥᏯᎵᏥᏙᏁᎲᎢ; )
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
ᎠᎴ ᏥᎻ, ᎠᎴ ᏏᏆᏏ, ᎠᎴ ᏣᏂ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎵᎫᏍᏙ ᎨᏥᏰᎸᎢ, ᎤᏂᎪᎲ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᎩᏁᎸᎢ, ᎠᏂᎦᏘᏏᏗᏢ ᏕᎪᎩᎾᏌᏕᏔᏅᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎴ ᏆᏂᏆ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᎬᏁᎯ ᏙᎦᏚᏓᏛᎢ; ᎠᏴ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᏗᏁᎲ ᏬᎩᏂᎶᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎤᏅᏒᏃ ᏗᎨᏥᎤᏍᏕᏎᎸᎯ ᏗᏁᎲᎢ;
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏈᏓ ᎥᏗᎣᎩ ᏭᎷᏨ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏕᏥᎦᏘᎸᏒᎩ, ᎦᏰᎫᎢᏍᏙᏗᏰᏃ ᎨᏒᎩ.
12 For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
ᎠᏏᏉᏰᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎢᏳᎾᏍᏗ ᏥᎻᏱ ᏅᏗᏂᎶᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎠᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎬᎩ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏂᎷᏨ, ᎤᏓᏅᏒᎩ ᏚᏓᏓᎴᏓᏁᎸᎩ, ᏕᎦᎾᏰᏍᎬᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎨᏥᏅᏍᏕᏎᎸᎯ.
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

14 But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎠᎩᎪᎲ ᏂᏚᏳᎪᏛᎾ ᎾᎾᏛᏁᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᏓᏕᏲᎲᏍᎬ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ, ᏂᎦᏛ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎲ ᎯᎠ ᏅᏥᏪᏎᎸᎩ ᏈᏓ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎯ, ᎯᏧᏏ ᏥᎩ, ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᏄᎾᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏱᏄᏍᏗ ᏰᎭ, ᎠᏂᏧᏏᏃ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᏁᎲ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛᎾ ᏱᎩ ᎮᎲᎢ, ᎦᏙᏃ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᏁᎲ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᎾᏕᏗᏱ ᏥᏂᏕᎲᏁᎭ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ?
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
ᎠᏴ ᎢᏗᏧᏏ ᎢᎦᏕᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᏂᏍᎦᎾᏃ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᏄᎾᏍᏛ ᎢᎦᏕᏅᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ,
16 yet knowing that a man is not 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.

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!

18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

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 who live, but Christ lives 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 don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
