Galatas 2

1 Deinde post annos quattuordecim, iterum ascendi Ierosolymam cum Barnaba, assumpto et Tito.

Then after fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking also Titus with me;

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.

but I went up according to revelation; and I presented to them the gospel which I am preaching among the Gentiles, but privately to the prominent ones, lest perhaps I am running, or did run, in vain.

3 Sed neque Titus, qui mecum erat, cum esset Gentilis, compulsus est circumcidi:

But neither was Titus the one with me, being a Greek, 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.

but on account of the false brethren having crept in, who came in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they shall bring us into bondage:

5 Quibus neque ad horam cessimus subiectioni, ut veritas Evangelii permaneat apud vos:

to whom I rendered not submission for an hour; in order that the truth of the gospel may abide 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 of those seeming to be something what they were at that time makes no difference to me: God does not receive the face of man: for those seeming to me to be prominent added nothing extra:

7 Sed econtra cum vidissent quod creditum est mihi Evangelium praeputii, sicut et Petro circumcisionis:

but on the contrary, seeing that I am intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, like Peter of the circumcision,

8 (qui enim operatus est Petro in Apostolatum circumcisionis, operatus est et mihi inter Gentes)

for the one having wrought with Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision also wrought with me unto 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 having known the grace of God which was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who seem to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

10 tantum ut pauperum memores essemus, quod etiam solicitus fui hoc ipsum facere.

only that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.

11 Cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam: in faciem ei restiti, quia reprehensibilis erat.

And when Cephas came into Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to blame.

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 certain ones came from James, he was eating along with the Gentiles: but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

13 Et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudaei, ita ut et Barnabas duceretur ab eis in illam simulationem.

And the rest of the Jews also reciprocated with him; so that even Barnabas was led away by their dissimulation.

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 are not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If you being a Jew are living like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how do you compel the Gentiles to judaize?

15 Nos natura Iudaei, et non ex Gentibus peccatores.

We being Jews 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.

knowing that a man is not justified by works of law, but through the faith of Christ Jesus, and we have believed into Christ Jesus, in order that we may be justified by faith of Christ, and not by works of law, because by works of law no flesh shall be justified.

17 Quod si quaerentes iustificari in Christo, inventi sumus et ipsi peccatores, numquid Christus peccati minister est? Absit.

But if seeking to be justified in Christ, we may also be found sinners, then is Christ the minister of sin? it could not be so.

18 Si enim quae destruxi, iterum haec aedifico: praevaricatorem me constituo.

For if I again build the things which I have destroyed, I constitute myself a transgressor.

19 Ego enim per legem, legi mortuus sum, ut Deo vivam: Christo confixus sum cruci.

For I through law died to law, in, order that I may live unto 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 along with Christ; and I live no longer, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

21 Non abiicio gratiam Dei. Si enim per legem iustitia, ergo gratis Christus mortuus est.

I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness was through law, then Christ died gratuitiously.
