Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ. ⲉⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈.
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.
ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲩⲥⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ. ⲏ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲱⲧ.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲕⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅
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,
ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲁⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ
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.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲅⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
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,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲉϥϫⲓϩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲛⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩ(ⲟⲩ)ⲉϩⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈.
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—
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ.
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲁϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ϩⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
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.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̈ⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲏⲫⲁⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲇⲉⲝⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
ⲓ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲁⲁϥ.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲁⲩϭⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲕⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲉϩⲧϥ̅ ⲁϥⲥⲁϩⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉϥⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ.
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲉⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ.
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?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲕⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲱⲥϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ϩⲱⲥϩⲓⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲕⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈.
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲫⲩⲥⲓ ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲛϩⲉⲛⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲛϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅· ⲁⲛϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ 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!
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲣⲁ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ.
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲣ̅ϣⲱⲣⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϯⲕⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ϯⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲧⲏⲥ.
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!”
