NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Deinde post annos quattuor decim, iterum ascendi Hieroso lymam cumBarnaba, assumpto et Tito;	1 Next, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, taking with me Barnabas and Titus.
2 ascendi autem secundum revelationem; et contuli cumillis evangelium, quod praedico in gentibus, seorsum autem his, quiobservabantur, ne forte in vacuum currerem aut cucurrissem.	2 And I went up according to revelation, and I debated with them about the Gospel that I am preaching among the Gentiles, but away from those who were pretending to be something, lest perhaps I might run, or have run, in vain.
3 Sed neque Titus,qui mecum erat, cum esset Graecus, compulsus est circumcidi.	3 But even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Gentile, was not compelled to be circumcised,
4 Sed proptersubintroductos falsos fratres, qui subintroierunt explorare libertatem nostram,quam habemus in Christo Iesu, ut nos in servitutem redigerent;	4 but only because of false brothers, who were brought in unknowingly. They entered secretly to spy on our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might reduce us to servitude.
5 quibus neque adhoram cessimus subicientes nos, ut veritas evangelii permaneat apud vos.	5 We did not yield to them in subjection, even for an hour, in order that the truth of the Gospel would remain with you,
6 Ab his autem, qui videbantur esse aliquid — quales aliquando fuerint, nihilmea interest; Deus personam hominis non accipit — mihi enim, quiobservabantur, nihil contulerunt,	6 and away from those who were pretending to be something. (Whatever they might have been once, it means nothing to me. God does not accept the reputation of a man.) And those who were claiming to be something had nothing to offer me.
7 sed e contra, cum vidissent quod creditumest mihi evangelium praeputii, sicut Petro circumcisionis	7 But it was to the contrary, since they had seen that the Gospel to the uncircumcised was entrusted to me, just as the Gospel to the circumcised was entrusted to Peter.
8 — qui enimoperatus est Petro in apostolatum circumcisionis, operatus est et mihi intergentes —	8 For he who was working the Apostleship to the circumcised in Peter, was also working in me among the Gentiles.
9 et cum cognovissent gratiam, quae data est mihi, Iacobus et Cephaset Ioannes, qui videbantur columnae esse, dexteras dederunt mihi et Barnabaecommunionis, ut nos in gentes, ipsi autem in circumcisionem;	9 And so, when they had acknowledged the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed like pillars, gave to me and to Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we would go to the Gentiles, while they went to the circumcised,
10 tantum utpauperum memores essemus, quod etiam sollicitus fui hoc ipsum facere.	10 asking only that we should be mindful of the poor, which was the very thing that I also was solicitous to do.
11 Cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam, in faciem ei restiti, quiareprehensibilis erat.	11 But when Cephas had arrived at Antioch, I stood against him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
12 Prius enim quam venirent quidam ab Iacobo, cum gentibuscomedebat; cum autem venissent, subtrahebat et segregabat se, timens eos, qui excircumcisione erant.	12 For before certain ones arrived from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they had arrived, he drew apart and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13 Et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudaei, ita utet Barnabas simul abduceretur illorum simulatione.	13 And the other Jews consented to his pretense, so that even Barnabas was led by them into that falseness.
14 Sed cum vidissem quod nonrecte ambularent ad veritatem evangelii, dixi Cephae coram omnibus: “ Si tu,cum Iudaeus sis, gentiliter et non Iudaice vivis, quomodo gentes cogisiudaizare? ”.	14 But when I had seen that they were not walking correctly, by the truth of the Gospel, I said to Cephas in front of everyone: “If you, while you are a Jew, are living like the Gentiles and not the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to keep the customs of the Jews?”
15 Nos natura Iudaei et non ex gentibus peccatores,	15 By nature, we are Jews, and not of the Gentiles, sinners.
16 scientesautem quod non iustificatur homo ex operibus legis, nisi per fidem Iesu Christi,et nos in Christum Iesum credidimus, ut iustificemur ex fide Christi et non exoperibus legis, quoniam ex operibus legis non iustificabitur omnis caro.	16 And we know that man is not justified by the works of the law, but only by the faith of Jesus Christ. And so we believe in Christ Jesus, in order that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law. For no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
17 Quodsi quaerentes iustificari in Christo, inventi sumus et ipsi peccatores,numquid Christus peccati minister est? Absit!	17 But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are also found to be sinners, would then Christ be the minister of sin? Let it not be so!
18 Si enim, quae destruxi, haeciterum aedifico, praevaricatorem me constituo.	18 For if I rebuild the things that I have destroyed, I establish myself as a prevaricator.
19 Ego enim per legem legimortuus sum, ut Deo vivam. Christo confixus sum cruci;	19 For through the law, I have become dead to the law, so that I may live for God. I have been nailed to the cross with Christ.
20 vivo autem iam nonego, vivit vero in me Christus; quod autem nunc vivo in carne, in fide vivoFilii Dei, qui dilexit me et tradidit seipsum pro me.	20 I live; yet now, it is not I, but truly Christ, who lives in me. And though I live now in the flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and who delivered himself for me.
21 Non irritam faciogratiam Dei; si enim per legem iustitia, ergo Christus gratis mortuus est.	21 I do not reject the grace of God. For if justice is through the law, then Christ died in vain.
