¹[] Επειτα μετα δεκατεσσαρα ετη παλιν ανεβην εις Ιεροσολυμα μετα του Βαρναβα, συμπαραλαβων και τον Τιτον·

¹Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

²ανεβην δε κατα αποκαλυψιν· και παρεστησα προς αυτους το ευαγγελιον, το οποιον κηρυττω μεταξυ των εθνων, κατ' ιδιαν δε προς τους επισημοτερους, μηπως τρεχω η ετρεξα εις ματην.

²I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

³Αλλ' ουδε ο Τιτος ο μετ' εμου, Ελλην ων, ηναγκασθη να περιτμηθη,

³But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

⁴αλλα δια τους παρεισακτους ψευδαδελφους, οιτινες παρεισηλθον δια να κατασκοπευσωσι την ελευθεριαν ημων, την οποιαν εχομεν εν Χριστω Ιησου, δια να μας καταδουλωσωσιν·

⁴This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

⁵εις τους οποιους ουδε προς ωραν υπεχωρησαμεν υποτασσομενοι, δια να διαμεινη εις εσας η αληθεια του ευαγγελιου.

⁵to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.

⁶Περι δε των νομιζομενων οτι ειναι τι, οποιοι ποτε και αν ησαν, ουδολως φροντιζω· ο Θεος δεν βλεπει εις προσωπον ανθρωπου· διοτι εις εμε οι επισημοτεροι δεν προσεθεσαν ουδεν περισσοτερον,

⁶But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man)—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

⁷αλλα το εναντιον, αφου ειδον οτι ενεπιστευθην να κηρυττω το ευαγγελιον προς τους απεριτμητους καθως ο Πετρος προς τους περιτετμημενους·

⁷but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcision

⁸διοτι ο ενεργησας εις τον Πετρον, ωστε να αποσταλη προς τους περιτετμημενους, ενηργησε και εις εμε, προς τους εθνικους·

⁸(for he who appointed Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision appointed me also to the Gentiles);

⁹και αφου εγνωρισαν την χαριν την δοθεισαν εις εμε Ιακωβος και Κηφας και Ιωαννης, οι θεωρουμενοι οτι ειναι στυλοι, δεξιας εδωκαν κοινωνιας εις εμε και εις τον Βαρναβαν, δια να υπαγωμεν ημεις μεν εις τα εθνη, αυτοι δε εις τους περιτετμημενους·

⁹and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed 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.

¹⁰μονον μας παρηγγειλαν να ενθυμωμεθα τους πτωχους, το οποιον και εσπουδασα αυτο τουτο να καμω.

¹⁰They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

¹¹[] Οτε δε ηλθεν ο Πετρος εις την Αντιοχειαν, ηναντιωθην εις αυτον κατα προσωπον, διοτι ητο αξιομεμπτος.

¹¹But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

¹²Επειδη πριν ελθωσι τινες απο του Ιακωβου, συνετρωγε με τους εθνικους· οτε δε ηλθον, συνεστελλετο και απεχωριζεν εαυτον, φοβουμενος τους εκ περιτομης.

¹²For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

¹³Και μετ' αυτου συνυπεκριθησαν και οι λοιποι Ιουδαιοι, ωστε και ο Βαρναβας συμπαρεσυρθη εις την υποκρισιν αυτων.

¹³And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

¹⁴Αλλ' οτε εγω ειδον οτι δεν ορθοποδουσι προς την αληθειαν του ευαγγελιου, ειπον προς τον Πετρον εμπροσθεν παντων· Εαν συ Ιουδαιος ων ζης εθνικως και ουχι Ιουδαικως, δια τι αναγκαζεις τους εθνικους να ιουδαιζωσιν;

¹⁴But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

¹⁵ημεις εκ γεννησεως Ιουδαιοι οντες και ουχι εκ των εθνων αμαρτωλοι,

¹⁵“We, being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners,

¹⁶εξευροντες οτι δεν δικαιουται ανθρωπος εξ εργων νομου ειμη δια πιστεως Ιησου Χριστου, και ημεις επιστευσαμεν εις τον Ιησουν Χριστον, δια να δικαιωθωμεν εκ πιστεως Χριστου και ουχι εξ εργων νομου, διοτι δεν θελει δικαιωθη εξ εργων νομου ουδεις ανθρωπος.

¹⁶yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

¹⁷Αλλ' εαν ζητουντες να δικαιωθωμεν εις τον Χριστον ευρεθημεν και ημεις αμαρτωλοι, αρα ο Χριστος αμαρτιας ειναι διακονος; Μη γενοιτο.

¹⁷But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!

¹⁸Διοτι εαν οσα κατεστρεψα ταυτα παλιν οικοδομω, παραβατην δεικνυω εμαυτον.

¹⁸For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

¹⁹Διοτι εγω δια του νομου απεθανον εις τον νομον, δια να ζησω εις τον Θεον.

¹⁹For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

²⁰Μετα του Χριστου συνεσταυρωθην· ζω δε ουχι πλεον εγω, αλλ' ο Χριστος ζη εν εμοι· καθ' ο δε τωρα ζω εν σαρκι, ζω εν τη πιστει του Υιου του Θεου, οστις με ηγαπησε και παρεδωκεν εαυτον υπερ εμου.

²⁰I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

²¹Δεν αθετω την χαριν του Θεου· διοτι αν η δικαιωσις γινηται δια του νομου, αρα ο Χριστος εις ματην απεθανε.

²¹I don’t make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
