¹Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];

¹ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܐܪܒܥܤܪܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܤܠܩܬ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܥܡ ܒܪܢܒܐ ܘܕܒܪܬ ܥܡܝ ܠܛܛܘܤ ܀

²and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;

²ܤܠܩܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܘܓܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܡܟܪܙ ܐܢܐ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܘܚܘܝܬܗ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܡܕܡ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܝܢܝ ܘܠܗܘܢ ܕܡ ܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܪܗܛܬ ܐܘ ܪܗܛ ܐܢܐ ܀

³(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised;)

³ܐܦ ܛܛܘܤ ܕܥܡܝ ܕܐܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐܢܤ ܕܢܓܙܘܪ ܀

⁴and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

⁴ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܕܥܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܢܓܫܘܢ ܚܐܪܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܫܥܒܕܘܢܢܝ ܀

⁵to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

⁵ܐܦܠܐ ܡܠܐ ܫܥܐ ܐܬܪܡܝܢ ܠܫܘܥܒܕܗܘܢ ܕܫܪܪܗ ܕܤܒܪܬܐ ܢܩܘܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

⁶But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat -- whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

⁶ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܐܦܝ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܘܤܦܘ ܠܝ ܀

⁷but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,

⁷ܐܠܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܚܙܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܬܗܝܡܢܬ ܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܬܗܝܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܒܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܀

⁸(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles,)

⁸ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܚܦܛ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܒܫܠܝܚܘܬܐ ܕܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܚܦܛ ܐܦ ܠܝ ܒܫܠܝܚܘܬܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܀

⁹and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that *we* [should go] to the nations, and *they* to the circumcision;

⁹ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥܘ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܕܐ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܝܗܒܘ ܠܝ ܘܠܒܪܢܒܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܒܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܀

¹⁰only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.

¹⁰ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܥܗܕܝܢܢ ܘܐܬܒܛܠ ܠܝ ܕܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܐܥܒܕܝܗ ܀

¹¹But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:

¹¹ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܐܢܛܝܘܟܝ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ ܐܟܤܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܬܬܩܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܀

¹²for before that certain came from James, he ate with [those of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;

¹²ܕܥܕܠܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܥܡ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܟܠ ܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܕܝܢ ܢܓܕ ܗܘܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܦܪܫ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܀

¹³and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.

¹³ܘܐܬܪܡܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܠܗܕܐ ܐܦ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܪܢܒܐ ܐܬܕܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܝܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁴But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

¹⁴ܘܟܕ ܚܙܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܒܫܪܪܗ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܠܥܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܪܡܐܝܬ ܚܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܠܐ ܝܗܘܕܐܝܬ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܠܨ ܐܢܬ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐܝܬ ܢܚܘܢ ܀

¹⁵We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,

¹⁵ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܢ ܟܝܢܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܢܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܀

¹⁶but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, *we* also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

¹⁶ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܒܗ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܝܡܢܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܙܕܕܩ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܐ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܀

¹⁷Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

¹⁷ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܒܥܝܢܢ ܕܢܙܕܕܩ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܫܬܟܚܢ ܠܢ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܡܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܚܤ ܀

¹⁸For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.

¹⁸ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܬܪܬ ܬܘܒ ܠܗܝܢ ܒܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܘܝܬ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܕܥܒܪ ܥܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܀

¹⁹For *I*, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.

¹⁹ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܕܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܚܐ ܀

²⁰I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, *I*, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

²⁰ܘܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܙܩܝܦ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܝ ܒܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܗܢܐ ܕܗܫܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܚܒܢ ܘܝܗܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܚܠܦܝܢ ܀

²¹I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.

²¹ܠܐ ܛܠܡ ܐܢܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܝܕ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܝ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܓܢ ܡܝܬ ܀
