Galatians 2

GNT

1 ἔπειτα διὰ δεκατεσσάρων ἐτῶν πάλιν ἀνέβην εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα μετὰ βαρναβᾶ, συμπαραλαβὼν καὶ τίτον·

2 ἀνέβην δὲ κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν· καὶ ἀνεθέμην αὐτοῖς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ κηρύσσω ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, κατ᾽ ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς δοκοῦσιν, μή πως εἰς κενὸν τρέχω ἢ ἔδραμον.

3 ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ τίτος ὁ σὺν ἐμοί, ἕλλην ὤν, ἠναγκάσθη περιτμηθῆναι·

4 διὰ δὲ τοὺς παρεισάκτους ψευδαδέλφους, οἵτινες παρεισῆλθον κατασκοπῆσαι τὴν ἐλευθερίαν ἡμῶν ἣν ἔχομεν ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ, ἵνα ἡμᾶς καταδουλώσουσιν·

5 οἷς οὐδὲ πρὸς ὥραν εἴξαμεν τῇ ὑποταγῇ, ἵνα ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ εὐαγγελίου διαμείνῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς.

6 ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν δοκούντων εἶναί τι _ ὁποῖοί ποτε ἦσαν οὐδέν μοι διαφέρει· πρόσωπον [ὁ] θεὸς ἀνθρώπου οὐ λαμβάνει _ ἐμοὶ γὰρ οἱ δοκοῦντες οὐδὲν προσανέθεντο,

7 ἀλλὰ τοὐναντίον ἰδόντες ὅτι πεπίστευμαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς ἀκροβυστίας καθὼς πέτρος τῆς περιτομῆς,

8 ὁ γὰρ ἐνεργήσας πέτρῳ εἰς ἀποστολὴν τῆς περιτομῆς ἐνήργησεν καὶ ἐμοὶ εἰς τὰ ἔθνη,

9 καὶ γνόντες τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι, ἰάκωβος καὶ κηφᾶς καὶ ἰωάννης, οἱ δοκοῦντες στῦλοι εἶναι, δεξιὰς ἔδωκαν ἐμοὶ καὶ βαρναβᾷ κοινωνίας, ἵνα ἡμεῖς εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς τὴν περιτομήν·

10 μόνον τῶν πτωχῶν ἵνα μνημονεύωμεν, ὃ καὶ ἐσπούδασα αὐτὸ τοῦτο ποιῆσαι.

11 ὅτε δὲ ἦλθεν κηφᾶς εἰς ἀντιόχειαν, κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶ ἀντέστην, ὅτι κατεγνωσμένος ἦν.

12 πρὸ τοῦ γὰρ ἐλθεῖν τινας ἀπὸ ἰακώβου μετὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν συνήσθιεν· ὅτε δὲ ἦλθον, ὑπέστελλεν καὶ ἀφώριζεν ἑαυτόν, φοβούμενος τοὺς ἐκ περιτομῆς.

13 καὶ συνυπεκρίθησαν αὐτῶ [καὶ] οἱ λοιποὶ ἰουδαῖοι, ὥστε καὶ βαρναβᾶς συναπήχθη αὐτῶν τῇ ὑποκρίσει.

14 ἀλλ᾽ ὅτε εἶδον ὅτι οὐκ ὀρθοποδοῦσιν πρὸς τὴν ἀλήθειαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, εἶπον τῶ κηφᾷ ἔμπροσθεν πάντων, εἰ σὺ ἰουδαῖος ὑπάρχων ἐθνικῶς καὶ οὐχὶ ἰουδαϊκῶς ζῇς, πῶς τὰ ἔθνη ἀναγκάζεις ἰουδαΐζειν;

15 ἡμεῖς φύσει ἰουδαῖοι καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἁμαρτωλοί,

16 εἰδότες [δὲ] ὅτι οὐ δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἐὰν μὴ διὰ πίστεως ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς χριστὸν ἰησοῦν ἐπιστεύσαμεν, ἵνα δικαιωθῶμεν ἐκ πίστεως χριστοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου, ὅτι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σάρξ.

17 εἰ δὲ ζητοῦντες δικαιωθῆναι ἐν χριστῶ εὑρέθημεν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἁμαρτωλοί, ἆρα χριστὸς ἁμαρτίας διάκονος; μὴ γένοιτο.

18 εἰ γὰρ ἃ κατέλυσα ταῦτα πάλιν οἰκοδομῶ, παραβάτην ἐμαυτὸν συνιστάνω.

19 ἐγὼ γὰρ διὰ νόμου νόμῳ ἀπέθανον ἵνα θεῶ ζήσω. χριστῶ συνεσταύρωμαι·

20 ζῶ δὲ οὐκέτι ἐγώ, ζῇ δὲ ἐν ἐμοὶ χριστός· ὃ δὲ νῦν ζῶ ἐν σαρκί, ἐν πίστει ζῶ τῇ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντός με καὶ παραδόντος ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ.

21 οὐκ ἀθετῶ τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰ γὰρ διὰ νόμου δικαιοσύνη, ἄρα χριστὸς δωρεὰν ἀπέθανεν.

1  Then¹⁸⁹⁹ fourteen¹¹⁸⁰ years²⁰⁹⁴ after¹²²³ I went up³⁰⁵ again³⁸²⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴ with³³²⁶ Barnabas,⁹²¹ and took Titus with^{4838 5103} me also.²⁵³²

2  And¹¹⁶¹ I went up³⁰⁵ by²⁵⁹⁶ revelation,⁶⁰² and²⁵³² communicated³⁹⁴ unto them⁸⁴⁶ that gospel²⁰⁹⁸ which³⁷³⁹ I preach²⁷⁸⁴ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ privately^{2596 2398} to them which were of reputation,¹³⁸⁰ lest by any means³³⁸¹ I should run,⁵¹⁴³ or²²²⁸ had run,⁵¹⁴³ in¹⁵¹⁹ vain.²⁷⁵⁶

3  But²³⁵ neither³⁷⁶¹ Titus,⁵¹⁰³ who³⁵⁸⁸ was with⁴⁸⁶² me,¹⁶⁹⁸ being⁵⁶⁰⁷ a Greek,¹⁶⁷² was compelled³¹⁵ to be circumcised:⁴⁰⁵⁹

4  And¹¹⁶¹ that because¹²²³ of false brethren⁵⁵⁶⁹ unawares brought in,³⁹²⁰ who³⁷⁴⁸ came in privily³⁹²² to spy out²⁶⁸⁴ our²²⁵⁷ liberty¹⁶⁵⁷ which³⁷³⁹ we have²¹⁹² in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ that²⁴⁴³ they might bring us into bondage:^{2615 2248}

5  To whom³⁷³⁹ we gave place¹⁵⁰² by subjection,⁵²⁹² no, not³⁷⁶¹ for⁴³¹⁴ an hour;⁵⁶¹⁰ that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ truth²²⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ might continue¹²⁶⁵ with⁴³¹⁴ you.⁵²⁰⁹

6  But¹¹⁶¹ of⁵⁷⁵ these³⁵⁸⁸ who seemed¹³⁸⁰ to be¹⁵¹¹ somewhat,⁵¹⁰⁰ (whatsoever^{3697 4218} they were,²²⁵⁸ it maketh no matter^{1308 3762} to me:³⁴²⁷ God²³¹⁶ accepteth²⁹⁸³ no³⁷⁵⁶ man's⁴⁴⁴ person:)⁴³⁸³ for¹⁰⁶³ they who seemed¹³⁸⁰ to be somewhat in conference added⁴³²³ nothing³⁷⁶² to me:¹⁶⁹⁸

7  But²³⁵ contrariwise,⁵¹²¹ when they saw¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ uncircumcision²⁰³ was committed⁴¹⁰⁰ unto me, as²⁵³¹ the gospel of the³⁵⁸⁸ circumcision⁴⁰⁶¹ was unto Peter;⁴⁰⁷⁴

8  (For¹⁰⁶³ he that wrought effectually¹⁷⁵⁴ in Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ the apostleship⁶⁵¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ circumcision,⁴⁰⁶¹ the same was mighty¹⁷⁵⁴ in²⁵³² me¹⁶⁹⁸ toward¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles:)¹⁴⁸⁴

9  And²⁵³² when James,^{2385 2532} Cephas,²⁷⁸⁶ and²⁵³² John,²⁴⁹¹ who seemed¹³⁸⁰ to be¹⁵¹¹ pillars,⁴⁷⁶⁹ perceived¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ that was given¹³²⁵ unto me,³⁴²⁷ they gave¹³²⁵ to me¹⁶⁹⁸ and²⁵³² Barnabas⁹²¹ the right hands¹¹⁸⁸ of fellowship;²⁸⁴² that²⁴⁴³ we²²⁴⁹ should go unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ heathen,¹⁴⁸⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ they⁸⁴⁶ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ circumcision.⁴⁰⁶¹

10  Only³⁴⁴⁰ they would that²⁴⁴³ we should remember³⁴²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ poor;⁴⁴³⁴ the same^{846 5124} which³⁷³⁹ I also²⁵³² was forward⁴⁷⁰⁴ to do.⁴¹⁶⁰

11  But¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was come²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch,⁴⁹⁰ I withstood⁴³⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ to²⁵⁹⁶ the face,⁴³⁸³ because³⁷⁵⁴ he was²²⁵⁸ to be blamed.²⁶⁰⁷

12  For¹⁰⁶³ before that certain⁵¹⁰⁰ came²⁰⁶⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ James,²³⁸⁵ he did eat⁴⁹⁰⁶ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles:¹⁴⁸⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ they were come,²⁰⁶⁴ he withdrew⁵²⁸⁸ and²⁵³² separated⁸⁷³ himself,¹⁴³⁸ fearing⁵³⁹⁹ them³⁵⁸⁸ which were of¹⁵³⁷ the circumcision.⁴⁰⁶¹

13  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ other³⁰⁶² Jews²⁴⁵³ dissembled likewise with^{4942 2532} him;⁸⁴⁶ insomuch that⁵⁶²⁰ Barnabas⁹²¹ also²⁵³² was carried away with⁴⁸⁷⁹ their⁸⁴⁶ dissimulation.⁵²⁷²

14  But²³⁵ when³⁷⁵³ I saw¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ they walked not uprightly^{3716 3756} according⁴³¹⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ truth²²⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel,²⁰⁹⁸ I said²⁰³⁶ unto Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ before¹⁷¹⁵ them all,³⁹⁵⁶ If¹⁴⁸⁷ thou,⁴⁷⁷¹ being⁵²²⁵ a Jew,²⁴⁵³ livest²¹⁹⁸ after the manner of Gentiles,¹⁴⁸³ and²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ as do the Jews,²⁴⁵² why⁵¹⁰¹ compellest³¹⁵ thou the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ to live as do the Jews?²⁴⁵⁰

15  We²²⁴⁹ who are Jews²⁴⁵³ by nature,⁵⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ sinners²⁶⁸ of¹⁵³⁷ the Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴

16  Knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ a man⁴⁴⁴ is not³⁷⁵⁶ justified¹³⁴⁴ by¹⁵³⁷ the works²⁰⁴¹ of the law,³⁵⁵¹ but³³⁶² by¹²²³ the faith⁴¹⁰² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ even²⁵³² we²²⁴⁹ have believed⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ that²⁴⁴³ we might be justified¹³⁴⁴ by¹⁵³⁷ the faith⁴¹⁰² of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ by¹⁵³⁷ the works²⁰⁴¹ of the law:³⁵⁵¹ for¹³⁶⁰ by¹⁵³⁷ the works²⁰⁴¹ of the law³⁵⁵¹ shall no³⁷⁵⁶ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ be justified.¹³⁴⁴

17  But¹¹⁶¹ if,¹⁴⁸⁷ while we seek²²¹² to be justified¹³⁴⁴ by¹⁷²² Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ we⁸⁴⁶ ourselves also²⁵³² are found²¹⁴⁷ sinners,²⁶⁸ is therefore⁶⁸⁷ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ the minister¹²⁴⁹ of sin?²⁶⁶ God forbid.^{1096 3361}

18  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ I build³⁶¹⁸ again³⁸²⁵ the things⁵⁰²³ which³⁷³⁹ I destroyed,²⁶⁴⁷ I make⁴⁹²¹ myself¹⁶⁸³ a transgressor.³⁸⁴⁸

19  For¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ through¹²²³ the law³⁵⁵¹ am dead⁵⁹⁹ to the law,³⁵⁵¹ that²⁴⁴³ I might live²¹⁹⁸ unto God.²³¹⁶

20  I am crucified with⁴⁹⁵⁷ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷ nevertheless¹¹⁶¹ I live;²¹⁹⁸ yet not³⁷⁶⁵ I,¹⁴⁷³ but¹¹⁶¹ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ liveth²¹⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² me:¹⁶⁹⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ the life which³⁷³⁹ I now³⁵⁶⁸ live²¹⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² the flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ I live²¹⁹⁸ by¹⁷²² the faith⁴¹⁰² of³⁵⁸⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of God,²³¹⁶ who loved²⁵ me,³¹⁶⁵ and²⁵³² gave³⁸⁶⁰ himself¹⁴³⁸ for⁵²²⁸ me.¹⁷⁰⁰

21  I do not³⁷⁵⁶ frustrate¹¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God:²³¹⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ righteousness¹³⁴³ come by¹²²³ the law,³⁵⁵¹ then⁶⁸⁶ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ is dead⁵⁹⁹ in vain.¹⁴³²

Vul

1 Deinde post annos quatuordecim, iterum ascendi Jerosolymam cum Barnaba, assumpto et Tito.

2 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 Sed neque Titus, qui mecum erat, cum esset gentilis, compulsus est circumcidi:

4 sed propter subintroductos falsos fratres, qui subintroierunt explorare libertatem nostram, quam habemus in Christo Jesu, ut nos in servitutem redigerent.

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

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.

7 Sed e contra cum vidissent quod creditum est mihi Evangelium præputii, sicut et Petro circumcisionis

8 (qui enim operatus est Petro in apostolatum circumcisionis, operatus est et mihi inter gentes):

9 et cum cognovissent gratiam, quæ data est mihi, Jacobus, et Cephas, et Joannes, qui videbantur columnæ esse, dextras dederunt mihi, et Barnabæ societatis: ut nos in gentes, ipsi autem in circumcisionem:

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

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

12 Prius enim quam venirent quidam a Jacobo, cum gentibus edebat: cum autem venissent, subtrahebat, et segregabat se, timens eos qui ex circumcisione erant.

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

14 Sed cum vidissem quod non recte ambularent ad veritatem Evangelii, dixi Cephæ coram omnibus: Si tu, cum Judæus sis, gentiliter vivis, et non judaice: quomodo gentes cogis judaizare?

15 Nos natura Judæi, et non ex gentibus peccatores.

16 Scientes autem quod non justificatur homo ex operibus legis, nisi per fidem Jesu Christi: et nos in Christo Jesu credimus, ut justificemur ex fide Christi, et non ex operibus legis: propter quod ex operibus legis non justificabitur omnis caro.

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

18 Si enim quæ destruxi, iterum hæc ædifico: prævaricatorem me constituo.

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

20 Vivo autem, jam 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 Non abjicio gratiam Dei. Si enim per legem justitia, ergo gratis Christus mortuus est.
