2:1

Επειτα δια δεκατεσσαρων ετων παλιν ανεβην εις Ιεροσολυμα μετα Βαρναβα συμπαραλαβων και Τιτον

Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

2:2

ανεβην δε κατα αποκαλυψιν και ανεθεμην αυτοις το ευαγγελιον ο κηρυσσω εν τοις εθνεσιν κατ ιδιαν δε τοις δοκουσιν μη πως εις κενον τρεχω η εδραμον

And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.

2:3

αλλ ουδε Τιτος ο συν εμοι Ελλην ων ηναγκασθη περιτμηθηναι

But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

2:4

δια δε τους παρεισακτους ψευδαδελφους οιτινες παρεισηλθον κατασκοπησαι την ελευθεριαν ημων ην εχομεν εν Χριστω Ιησου ινα ημας καταδουλωσουσιν

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

2:5

οις ουδε προς ωραν ειξαμεν τη υποταγη ινα η αληθεια του ευαγγελιου διαμεινη προς υμας

to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

2:6

Απο δε των δοκουντων ειναι τι οποιοι ποτε ησαν ουδεν μοι διαφερει προσωπον ο Θεος ανθρωπου ου λαμβανει εμοι γαρ οι δοκουντες ουδεν προσανεθεντο

But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man’s person)—they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:

2:7

αλλα τουναντιον ιδοντες οτι πεπιστευμαι το ευαγγελιον της ακροβυστιας καθως Πετρος της περιτομης

but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the gospel of the circumcision

2:8

ο γαρ ενεργησας Πετρω εις αποστολην της περιτομης ενηργησεν και εμοι εις τα εθνη

(for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);

2:9

και γνοντες την χαριν την δοθεισαν μοι Ιακωβος και Κηφας και Ιωαννης οι δοκουντες στυλοι ειναι δεξιας εδωκαν εμοι και Βαρναβα κοινωνιας ινα ημεις εις τα εθνη αυτοι δε εις την περιτομην

and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision;

2:10

μονον των πτωχων ινα μνημονευωμεν ο και εσπουδασα αυτο τουτο ποιησαι

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

2:11

Οτε δε ηλθεν Κηφας εις Αντιοχειαν κατα προσωπον αυτω αντεστην οτι κατεγνωσμενος ην

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.

¹

2:12

προ του γαρ ελθειν τινας απο Ιακωβου μετα των εθνων συνησθιεν οτε δε ηλθον υπεστελλεν και αφωριζεν εαυτον φοβουμενος τους εκ περιτομης

For before that certain came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision.

2:13

και συνυπεκριθησαν αυτω και οι λοιποι Ιουδαιοι ωστε και Βαρναβας συναπηχθη αυτων τη υποκρισει

And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

2:14

Αλλ οτε ειδον οτι ουκ ορθοποδουσιν προς την αληθειαν του ευαγγελιου ειπον τω Κηφα εμπροσθεν παντων Ει συ Ιουδαιος υπαρχων εθνικως και ουκ Ιουδαικως ζης πως τα εθνη αναγκαζεις ιουδαιζειν

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

2:15

Ημεις φυσει Ιουδαιοι και ουκ εξ εθνων Αμαρτωλοι

We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

2:16

ειδοτες δε οτι ου δικαιουται ανθρωπος εξ εργων νομου εαν μη δια πιστεως Ιησου Χριστου και ημεις εις Χριστον Ιησουν επιστευσαμεν ινα δικαιωθωμεν εκ πιστεως Χριστου και ουκ εξ εργων νομου οτι εξ εργων νομου ου δικαιωθησεται πασα σαρξ

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

2:17

Ει δε ζητουντες δικαιωθηναι εν Χριστω ευρεθημεν και αυτοι αμαρτωλοι αρα Χριστος αμαρτιας διακονος μη γενοιτο

But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.

2:18

ει γαρ α κατελυσα ταυτα παλιν οικοδομω παραβατην εμαυτον συνιστανω

For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.

2:19

εγω γαρ δια νομου νομω απεθανον ινα Θεω ζησω Χριστω συνεσταυρωμαι

For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.

2:20

ζω δε ουκετι εγω ζη δε εν εμοι Χριστος ο δε νυν ζω εν σαρκι εν πιστει ζω τη του Υιου του Θεου του αγαπησαντος με και παραδοντος εαυτον υπερ εμου

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

2:21

Ουκ αθετω την χαριν του Θεου ει γαρ δια νομου δικαιοσυνη αρα Χριστος δωρεαν απεθανεν

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