1 Luego, al cabo de catorce años, subí nuevamente a Jerusalén con Bernabé, llevando conmigo también a Tito.1 Next, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, taking with me Barnabas and Titus.
2 Subí movido por una revelación y les expuse el Evangelio que proclamo entre los gentiles - tomando aparte a los notables - para saber si corría o había corrido en vano.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 Pues bien, ni siquiera Tito que estaba conmigo, con ser griego, fue obligado a circuncidarse.3 But even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Gentile, was not compelled to be circumcised,
4 Pero, a causa de los intrusos, los falsos hermanos que solapadamente se infiltraron para espiar la libertad que tenemos en Cristo Jesús, con el fin de reducirnos a esclavitud,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 a quienes ni por un instante cedimos, sometiéndonos, a fin de salvaguardar para vosotros la verdad del Evangelio...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 Y de parte de los que eran tenidos por notables - ¡qué me importa lo que fuesen!: en Dios no hay acepción de personas - en todo caso, los notables nada nuevo me impusieron.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 Antes al contrario, viendo que me había sido confiada la evangelización de los incircuncisos, al igual que a Pedro la de los circuncisos,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 - pues el que actuó en Pedro para hacer de él un apóstol de los circuncisos, actuó también en mí para hacerme apóstol de los gentiles -8 For he who was working the Apostleship to the circumcised in Peter, was also working in me among the Gentiles.
9 y reconociendo la gracia que me había sido concedida, Santiago, Cefas y Juan, que eran considerados como columnas, nos tendieron la mano en señal de comunión a mí y a Bernabé: nosotros nos iríamos a los gentiles y ellos a los circuncisos;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 sólo que nosotros debíamos tener presentes a los pobres, cosa que he procurado cumplir con todo esmero.10 asking only that we should be mindful of the poor, which was the very thing that I also was solicitous to do.
11 Mas, cuando vino Cefas a Antioquía, me enfrenté con él cara a cara, porque era digno de reprensión.11 But when Cephas had arrived at Antioch, I stood against him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
12 Pues antes que llegaran algunos del grupo de Santiago, comía en compañía de los gentiles; pero una vez que aquéllos llegaron, se le vio recatarse y separarse por temor de los circuncisos.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 Y los demás judíos le imitaron en su simulación, hasta el punto de que el mismo Bernabé se vio arrastrado por la simulación de ellos.13 And the other Jews consented to his pretense, so that even Barnabas was led by them into that falseness.
14 Pero en cuanto vi que no procedían con rectitud, según la verdad del Evangelio, dije a Cefas en presencia de todos: «Si tú, siendo judío, vives como gentil y no como judío, ¿cómo fuerzas a los gentiles a judaizar?»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 Nosotros somos judíos de nacimiento y no gentiles pecadores; a pesar de todo,15 By nature, we are Jews, and not of the Gentiles, sinners.
16 conscientes de que el hombre no se justifica por las obras de la ley sino sólo por la fe en Jesucristo, también nosotros hemos creído en Cristo Jesús a fin de conseguir la justificación por la fe en Cristo, y no por las obras de la ley, pues por las obras de la ley nadie será justificado.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 Ahora bien, si buscando nuestra justificación en Cristo, resulta que también nosotros somos pecadores, ¿estará Cristo al servicio del pecado? ¡De ningún modo!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 Pues si vuelvo a edificar lo que una vez destruí, a mí mismo me declaro transgresor.18 For if I rebuild the things that I have destroyed, I establish myself as a prevaricator.
19 En efecto, yo por la ley he muerto a la ley, a fin de vivir para Dios: con Cristo estoy crucificado: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 y no vivo yo, sino que es Cristo quien vive en mí; la vida que vivo al presente en la carne, la vivo en la fe del Hijo de Dios que me amó y se entregó a sí mismo por mí.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 No tengo por inútil la gracia de Dios, pues si por la ley se obtuviera la justificación, entonces hubiese muerto Cristo en vano.21 I do not reject the grace of God. For if justice is through the law, then Christ died in vain.
