< Galatians 2 >

1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
επειτα δια δεκατεσσαρων ετων παλιν ανεβην εισ ιεροσολυμα μετα βαρναβα συμπαραλαβων και τιτον
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.
ανεβην δε κατα αποκαλυψιν και ανεθεμην αυτοισ το ευαγγελιον ο κηρυσσω εν τοισ εθνεσιν κατ ιδιαν δε τοισ δοκουσιν μηπωσ εισ κενον τρεχω η εδραμον
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
αλλ ουδε τιτοσ ο συν εμοι ελλην ων ηναγκασθη περιτμηθηναι
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,
δια δε τουσ παρεισακτουσ ψευδαδελφουσ οιτινεσ παρεισηλθον κατασκοπησαι την ελευθεριαν ημων ην εχομεν εν χριστω ιησου ινα ημασ καταδουλωσωνται
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.
οισ ουδε προσ ωραν ειξαμεν τη υποταγη ινα η αληθεια του ευαγγελιου διαμεινη προσ υμασ
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,
απο δε των δοκουντων ειναι τι οποιοι ποτε ησαν ουδεν μοι διαφερει προσωπον θεοσ ανθρωπου ου λαμβανει εμοι γαρ οι δοκουντεσ ουδεν προσανεθεντο
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—
αλλα τουναντιον ιδοντεσ οτι πεπιστευμαι το ευαγγελιον τησ ακροβυστιασ καθωσ πετροσ τησ περιτομησ
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
ο γαρ ενεργησασ πετρω εισ αποστολην τησ περιτομησ ενηργησεν και εμοι εισ τα εθνη
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.
και γνοντεσ την χαριν την δοθεισαν μοι ιακωβοσ και κηφασ και ιωαννησ οι δοκουντεσ στυλοι ειναι δεξιασ εδωκαν εμοι και βαρναβα κοινωνιασ ινα ημεισ μεν εισ τα εθνη αυτοι δε εισ την περιτομην
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
μονον των πτωχων ινα μνημονευωμεν ο και εσπουδασα αυτο τουτο ποιησαι
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
οτε δε ηλθεν πετροσ εισ αντιοχειαν κατα προσωπον αυτω αντεστην οτι κατεγνωσμενοσ ην
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.
προ του γαρ ελθειν τινασ απο ιακωβου μετα των εθνων συνησθιεν οτε δε ηλθον υπεστελλεν και αφωριζεν εαυτον φοβουμενοσ τουσ εκ περιτομησ
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
και συνυπεκριθησαν αυτω και οι λοιποι ιουδαιοι ωστε και βαρναβασ συναπηχθη αυτων τη υποκρισει
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?
αλλ οτε ειδον οτι ουκ ορθοποδουσιν προσ την αληθειαν του ευαγγελιου ειπον τω πετρω εμπροσθεν παντων ει συ ιουδαιοσ υπαρχων εθνικωσ ζησ και ουκ ιουδαικωσ τι τα εθνη αναγκαζεισ ιουδαιζειν
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
ημεισ φυσει ιουδαιοι και ουκ εξ εθνων αμαρτωλοι
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.
ειδοτεσ οτι ου δικαιουται ανθρωποσ εξ εργων νομου εαν μη δια πιστεωσ ιησου χριστου και ημεισ εισ χριστον ιησουν επιστευσαμεν ινα δικαιωθωμεν εκ πιστεωσ χριστου και ουκ εξ εργων νομου διοτι ου δικαιωθησεται εξ εργων νομου πασα σαρξ
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!
ει δε ζητουντεσ δικαιωθηναι εν χριστω ευρεθημεν και αυτοι αμαρτωλοι αρα χριστοσ αμαρτιασ διακονοσ μη γενοιτο
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
ει γαρ α κατελυσα ταυτα παλιν οικοδομω παραβατην εμαυτον συνιστημι
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
εγω γαρ δια νομου νομω απεθανον ινα θεω ζησω
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.
χριστω συνεσταυρωμαι ζω δε ουκετι εγω ζη δε εν εμοι χριστοσ ο δε νυν ζω εν σαρκι εν πιστει ζω τη του υιου του θεου του αγαπησαντοσ με και παραδοντοσ εαυτον υπερ εμου
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
ουκ αθετω την χαριν του θεου ει γαρ δια νομου δικαιοσυνη αρα χριστοσ δωρεαν απεθανεν
