Galatas 2
1 Deinde post annos quattuordecim, iterum ascendi Ierosolymam cum Barnaba, assumpto et Tito.
Then fourteene yeeres after, I went vp againe to Hierusalem with Barnabas, and tooke with me Titus also.
2 Ascendi autem secundum revelationem: et contuli cum illis Evangelium, quod praedico in Gentibus, seorsum autem iis, qui videbantur aliquid esse: ne forte in vacuum currerem, aut cucurrissem.
And I went vp by reuelation, and declared vnto them that Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but particularly to them that were the chiefe, least by any meanes I should runne, or had runne in vaine:
3 Sed neque Titus, qui mecum erat, cum esset Gentilis, compulsus est circumcidi:
But neither yet Titus which was with me, though he were a Grecian, was compelled to be circumcised,
4 sed propter subintroductos falsos fratres, qui subintroierunt explorare libertatem nostram, quam habemus in Christo Iesu, ut nos in servitutem redigerent.
To wit, for the false brethren which were craftily sent in, and crept in priuily to spie out our libertie, which we haue in Christ Iesus, that they might bring vs into bondage.
5 Quibus neque ad horam cessimus subiectioni, ut veritas Evangelii permaneat apud vos:
To whom we gaue not place by subiection for an houre, that the trueth of the Gospel might continue with you.
6 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.
But by them which seemed to be great, I was not taught (whatsoeuer they were in time passed, I am nothing the better: God accepteth no mans person) for they that are the chiefe, did adde nothing to me aboue that I had.
7 Sed econtra cum vidissent quod creditum est mihi Evangelium praeputii, sicut et Petro circumcisionis:
But contrariwise, when they saw that ye Gospel ouer ye vncircumcision was comitted vnto me, as the Gospel ouer ye circumcision was vnto Peter:
8 (qui enim operatus est Petro in Apostolatum circumcisionis, operatus est et mihi inter Gentes)
(For he that was mightie by Peter in the Apostleship ouer the circumcision, was also mightie by me toward the Gentiles)
9 et cum cognovissent gratiam, quae data est mihi, Iacobus, et Cephas, et Ioannes, qui videbantur columnae esse, dextras dederunt mihi, et Barnabae societatis: ut nos in Gentes, ipsi autem in circumcisionem:
And when Iames, and Cephas, and Iohn, knew of the grace that was giuen vnto me, which are counted to be pillars, they gaue to me and to Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should preach vnto the Gentiles, and they vnto the Circumcision,
10 tantum ut pauperum memores essemus, quod etiam solicitus fui hoc ipsum facere.
Warning onely that we should remember the poore: which thing also I was diligent to doe.
11 Cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam: in faciem ei restiti, quia reprehensibilis erat.
And when Peter was come to Antiochia, I withstood him to his face: for he was to be condemned.
12 Prius enim quam venirent quidam a Iacobo, cum Gentibus edebat: cum autem venissent, subtrahebat, et segregabat se timens eos, qui ex circumcisione erant.
For before that certaine came from Iames, he ate with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himselfe, fearing them which were of the Circumcision.
13 Et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudaei, ita ut et Barnabas duceretur ab eis in illam simulationem.
And the other Iewes played the hypocrites likewise with him, in so much that Barnabas was led away with them by that their hypocrisie.
14 Sed cum vidissem quod non recte ambularent ad veritatem Evangelii, dixi Cephae coram omnibus: Si tu, cum Iudaeus sis, gentiliter vivis, et non Iudaice: quomodo Gentes cogis Iudaizare?
But when I saw, that they went not ye right way to the trueth of ye Gospel, I sayd vnto Peter before all men, If thou being a Iewe, liuest as the Gentiles, and not like the Iewes, why constrainest thou the Gentiles to doe like the Iewes?
15 Nos natura Iudaei, et non ex Gentibus peccatores.
We which are Iewes by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 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.
Knowe that a man is not iustified by the works of the Law, but by ye faith of Iesus Christ, euen we, I say, haue beleeued in Iesus Christ, that we might be iustified by the faith of Christ, and not by the workes of the Lawe, because that by the workes of the Lawe, no flesh shalbe iustified.
17 Quod si quaerentes iustificari in Christo, inventi sumus et ipsi peccatores, numquid Christus peccati minister est? Absit.
If then while we seeke to be made righteous by Christ, we our selues are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sinne? God forbid.
18 Si enim quae destruxi, iterum haec aedifico: praevaricatorem me constituo.
For if I build againe the things that I haue destroyed, I make my selfe a trespasser.
19 Ego enim per legem, legi mortuus sum, ut Deo vivam: Christo confixus sum cruci.
For I through the Lawe am dead to the Lawe, that I might liue vnto God.
20 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.
I am crucified with Christ, but I liue, yet not I any more, but Christ liueth in me: and in that that I now liue in the flesh, I liue by the faith in the Sonne of God, who hath loued me, and giuen him selfe for me.
21 Non abiicio gratiam Dei. Si enim per legem iustitia, ergo gratis Christus mortuus est.
I doe not abrogate the grace of God: for if righteousnes be by the Lawe, then Christ dyed without a cause.
