Galatians 2
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Deinde post annos quattuordecim, iterum ascendi Ierosolymam cum Barnaba, assumpto et Tito.
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.
Ascendi autem secundum revelationem: et contuli cum illis Evangelium, quod prædico in Gentibus, seorsum autem iis, qui videbantur aliquid esse: ne forte in vacuum currerem, aut cucurrissem.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Sed neque Titus, qui mecum erat, cum esset Gentilis, compulsus est circumcidi:
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,
sed propter subintroductos falsos fratres, qui subintroierunt explorare libertatem nostram, quam habemus in Christo Iesu, ut nos in servitutem redigerent.
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.
Quibus neque ad horam cessimus subiectione, ut veritas Evangelii permaneat apud vos:
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,
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.
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—
Sed econtra cum vidissent quod creditum est mihi Evangelium præputii, sicut et Petro circumcisionis:
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
(qui enim operatus est Petro in Apostolatum circumcisionis, operatus est et mihi inter Gentes)
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.
et cum cognovissent gratiam, quæ data est mihi, Iacobus, et Cephas, et Ioannes, qui videbantur columnæ esse, dextras dederunt mihi, et Barnabæ societatis: ut nos in Gentes, ipsi autem in circumcisionem:
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
tantum ut pauperum memores essemus, quod etiam solicitus fui hoc ipsum facere.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam: in faciem ei restiti, quia reprehensibilis erat.
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.
Prius enim quam venirent quidam a Iacobo, cum Gentibus edebat: cum autem venissent, subtrahebat, et segregabat se timens eos, qui ex circumcisione erant.
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudæi, ita ut et Barnabas duceretur ab eis in illam simulationem.
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?
Sed cum vidissem quod non recte ambularent ad veritatem Evangelii, dixi Cephæ coram omnibus: Si tu, cum Iudæus sis, Gentiliter vivis, et non Iudaice: quomodo Gentes cogis Iudaizare?
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
Nos natura Iudæi, et non ex Gentibus peccatores.
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.
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.
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!
Quod si quærentes iustificari in Christo, inventi sumus et ipsi peccatores, numquid Christus peccati minister est? Absit.
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Si enim quæ destruxi, iterum hæc ædifico: prævaricatorem me constituo.
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
Ego enim per legem, legi mortuus sum, ut Deo vivam: Christo confixus sum cruci.
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.
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.
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
Non abiicio gratiam Dei. Si enim per legem iustitia, ergo gratis Christus mortuus est.
