Lettera ai Galati 2

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Deinde post annos quattuor decim, iterum ascendi Hieroso lymam cumBarnaba, assumpto et Tito;	1 Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
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 communicated to them the gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles, but apart to them who seemed to be some thing: lest perhaps I should run, or had run in vain.
3 Sed neque Titus,qui mecum erat, cum esset Graecus, compulsus est circumcidi.	3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Gentile, was 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 because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude.
5 quibus neque adhoram cessimus subicientes nos, ut veritas evangelii permaneat apud vos.	5 To whom we yielded not by subjection, no not for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue 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 But of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time, it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man,) for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing.
7 sed e contra, cum vidissent quod creditumest mihi evangelium praeputii, sicut Petro circumcisionis	7 But contrariwise, when they had seen that to me was committed the gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the circumcision.
8 — qui enimoperatus est Petro in apostolatum circumcisionis, operatus est et mihi intergentes —	8 (For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought in me also 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 when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed 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:
10 tantum utpauperum memores essemus, quod etiam sollicitus fui hoc ipsum facere.	10 Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful to do.
11 Cum autem venisset Cephas Antiochiam, in faciem ei restiti, quiareprehensibilis erat.	11 But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
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 that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
13 Et simulationi eius consenserunt ceteri Iudaei, ita utet Barnabas simul abduceretur illorum simulatione.	13 And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation.
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 saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 Nos natura Iudaei et non ex gentibus peccatores,	15 We by nature 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 But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
17 Quodsi quaerentes iustificari in Christo, inventi sumus et ipsi peccatores,numquid Christus peccati minister est? Absit!	17 But if while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners; is Christ then the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 Si enim, quae destruxi, haeciterum aedifico, praevaricatorem me constituo.	18 For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator.
19 Ego enim per legem legimortuus sum, ut Deo vivam. Christo confixus sum cruci;	19 For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross.
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 And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself for me.
21 Non irritam faciogratiam Dei; si enim per legem iustitia, ergo Christus gratis mortuus est.	21 I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
