2:1
deinde post annos quattuordecim iterum ascendi Hierosolymacum Barnaba adsumpto et Tito

2:2
ascendi autem secundum revelationem et contuli cum illisevangelium quod praedico in gentibus seorsum autem his quividebantur ne forte in vacuum currerem aut cucurrissem

2:3
sed neque Titus qui mecum erat cum esset gentilis conpulsusest circumcidi

2:4
sed propter subintroductos falsos fratres qui subintroieruntexplorare libertatem nostram quam habemus in Christo Iesu utnos in servitutem redigerent

2:5
quibus neque ad horam cessimus subiectioni ut veritasevangelii permaneat apud vos

2:6
ab his autem qui videbantur esse aliquid quales aliquandofuerint nihil mea interest Deus personam hominis non accipitmihi enim qui videbantur nihil contulerunt

2:7
sed e contra cum vidissent quod creditum est mihi evangeliumpraeputii sicut Petro circumcisionis

2:8
qui enim operatus est Petro in apostolatum circumcisionisoperatus est et mihi inter gentes

2:9
et cum cognovissent gratiam quae data est mihi Iacobus etCephas et Iohannes qui videbantur columnae esse dextrasdederunt mihi et Barnabae societatis ut nos in gentes ipsiautem in circumcisionem

2:10
tantum ut pauperum memores essemus quod etiam sollicitusfui hoc ipsum facere

2:11
cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam in faciem ei restitiquia reprehensibilis erat

2:12
prius enim quam venirent quidam ab Iacobo cum gentibusedebat cum autem venissent subtrahebat et segregabat se timenseos qui ex circumcisione erant

2:13
et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudaei ita ut etBarnabas duceretur ab eis in illa simulatione

2:14
sed cum vidissem quod non recte ambularent ad veritatemevangelii dixi Cephae coram omnibus si tu cum Iudaeus sisgentiliter et non iudaice vivis quomodo gentes cogis iudaizare

2:15
nos natura Iudaei et non ex gentibus peccatores

2:16
scientes autem quod non iustificatur homo ex operibus legisnisi per fidem Iesu Christi et nos in Christo Iesu credidimusut iustificemur ex fide Christi et non ex operibus legispropter quod ex operibus legis non iustificabitur omnis caro

2:17
quod si quaerentes iustificari in Christo inventi sumus etipsi peccatores numquid Christus peccati minister est absit

2:18
si enim quae destruxi haec iterum aedifico praevaricatoremme constituo

2:19
ego enim per legem legi mortuus sum ut Deo vivam Christoconfixus sum cruci

2:20
vivo autem iam non ego vivit vero in me Christus quod autemnunc vivo in carne in fide vivo Filii Dei qui dilexit me ettradidit se ipsum pro me

2:21
non abicio gratiam Dei si enim per legem iustitia ergoChristus gratis mortuus est

002:001
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

002:002
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

002:003
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

002:004
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

002:005
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

002:006
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

002:007
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

002:008
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

002:009
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

002:010
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

002:011
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

002:012
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

002:013
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

002:014
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

002:015
We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

002:016
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

002:017
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

002:018
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

002:019
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

002:020
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth 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.

002:021
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
