Galatians 2
1 Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.
Después, pasados catorce años, vine otra vez a Jerusalem con Barnabás, tomando también conmigo a Tito.
2 And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.
Vine empero por revelación, y comuniqué con ellos el evangelio que predico entre los Gentiles; mas, particularmente con los que parecían ser algo, por no correr, o haber corrido en vano.
3 But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was made to undergo circumcision:
Mas ni aun Tito, que estaba conmigo, siendo Griego, fue compelido a circuncidarse:
4 And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;
Y esto por causa de los entremetidos a escondidas, falsos hermanos, que se entraban secretamente para espiar nuestra libertad que tenemos en Cristo Jesús, para reducirnos a servidumbre;
5 To whom we gave way not even for an hour; so that the true words of the good news might still be with you.
A los cuales ni aun por una hora cedimos en sujeción, para que la verdad del evangelio permaneciese con vosotros.
6 But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;
Empero de aquellos que parecían ser algo, (cuales hayan sido, no tengo que ver; Dios no acepta apariencia de hombre, ) a mí los que parecían ser algo, nada me comunicaron.
7 But, quite the opposite, when they saw that I had been made responsible for preaching the good news to those without circumcision, even as Peter had been for those of the circumcision
Antes por el contrario, como vieron que el evangelio de la incircuncisión me había sido dado, como a Pedro el de la circuncisión,
8 (Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among the Gentiles);
(Porque el que obró eficazmente en Pedro para el apostolado de la circuncisión, obró también en mí para con los Gentiles, )
9 When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;
Y como Santiago, y Céfas, y Juan, que parecían ser las columnas, vieron la gracia que me era dada, nos dieron las diestras de compañía a mí y a Barnabás, para que nosotros predicásemos a los Gentiles, y ellos a la circuncisión.
10 Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor; which very thing I had much in mind to do.
Solamente querían que nos acordásemos de los pobres; lo cual también yo hacía con solicitud.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.
Empero viniendo Pedro a Antioquía, le resistí en su cara, porque era de condenar.
12 For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
Porque antes que viniesen unos de parte de Santiago, comía con los Gentiles; mas como vinieron, se retrajo, y se apartó de ellos, teniendo miedo de los que eran de la circuncisión.
13 And the rest of the Jews went after him, so that even Barnabas was overcome by their false ways.
Y los otros Judíos disimulaban asimismo con él, de tal manera que aun Barnabás fue llevado con ellos por aquella su simulación.
14 But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?
Mas como yo ví que no andaban derechamente conforme a la verdad del evangelio, dije a Pedro delante de todos: Si tú, siendo Judío, vives como Gentil, y no como Judío, ¿por qué constriñes los Gentiles a judaizar?
15 We being Jews by birth, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Nosotros que somos Judíos por naturaleza, y no pecadores de los Gentiles,
16 Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.
Sabiendo que el hombre no es justificado por las obras de la ley, sino por la fe de Jesu Cristo, nosotros también hemos creído en Jesu Cristo, para que fuésemos justificados por la fe de Cristo, y no por las obras de la ley; por cuanto por las obras de la ley ninguna carne será justificada.
17 But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!
Y si buscando nosotros de ser justificados en Cristo, también nosotros mismos somos hallados pecadores, ¿ es por eso Cristo ministro de pecado? En ninguna manera.
18 For if I put up again those things which I gave to destruction, I am seen to be a wrongdoer.
Porque si las cosas que destruí, las mismas vuelvo a edificar, transgresor me hago.
19 For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.
Porque yo por la ley estoy muerto a la ley, a fin de que viva para Dios.
20 I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.
Estoy crucificado con Cristo; mas vivo, no ya yo, sino que Cristo vive en mí; y la vida que ahora vivo en la carne, la vivo por la fe del Hijo de Dios, el cual me amó, y se entregó a sí mismo por mí.
21 I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.
No desecho la gracia de Dios; por que si por la ley es la justicia, entonces Cristo por demás murió.
