갈라디아서 2

바울과 다른 사도들
2 그로부터 14년 후에 나는 바나바와 함께 디도를 데리고 다시 예루살렘으로 올라 갔습니다.
2 나는 하나님의 계시를 받고 예루살렘에 올라가 내가 이방인들에게 전파하는 기쁜 소식을 [a]공식 석상에서 전하였고 지도자들에게는 개인적으로 설명했습니다. 그것은 내가 과거에 한 일과 현재 하는 일이 헛되지 않을까 염려해서였습니다.
3 나와 동행한 디도는 그리스 사람이었지만 억지로 할례를 받으라고 강요하지 않았습니다.
4 내가 이렇게 한 것은 몰래 들어온 거짓 형제들 때문이었습니다. 그들은 몰래 들어와 그리스도 예수님 안에서 우리가 가진 자유를 엿보고 우리를 다시 율법의 종으로 삼으려고 했습니다.
5 그러나 우리는 여러분을 언제나 기쁜 소식의 진리 안에 있게 하려고 한시도 그들에게 굴복하지 않았습니다.
6 지도자들이라는 사람들은 나에게 아무것도 새로운 것을 제시해 주지 못했습니다. 그들이 어떤 사람이건간에 나와는 상관이 없습니다. 하나님은 사람의 겉모양을 보시지 않기 때문입니다.
7 그들은 베드로가 유대인들에게 기쁜 소식을 전하는 일을 맡은 것같이 내가 이방인들에게 기쁜 소식을 전하는 일을 맡은 것을 보았습니다.
8 베드로에게 능력을 주어 그를 유대인의 사도로 삼으신 하나님이 나에게 능력을 주어 나를 이방인의 사도로 삼으신 것입니다.
9 그리고 기둥 같은 지도자로 알려진 야고보와 베드로와 요한도 하나님이 나에게 주신 은혜를 인정하고 나와 바나바에게 교제의 악수를 청해 왔습니다. 그래서 우리는 이방인들에게 가서 기쁜 소식을 전하고 그들은 유대인들에게 가서 기쁜 소식을 전하기로 했습니다.
10 또 그들은 우리에게 가난한 사람들을 돌보라고 부탁했는데 그 일은 내가 전부터 열심히 해 오던 일이었습니다.
11 그런데 베드로가 안디옥에 왔을 때 그가 잘못한 일이 있었으므로 나는 여러 사람 앞에서 그를 책망하였습니다.
12 그것은 그가 이방인과 함께 음식을 먹다가 야고보가 보낸 유대인 몇 사람이 들어오는 것을 보고 겁이 나서 나가 버린 일이었습니다.
13 그러자 다른 유대인들도 안 먹은 체하며 밖으로 나갔고 바나바까지도 그들의 위선에 유혹을 받았습니다.
14 그래서 나는 그들이 기쁜 소식의 진리대로 바로 살지 않는 것을 보고 모든 사람 앞에서 베드로에게 “유대인인 당신이 이방인처럼 살면서 어떻게 이방인에게는 유대인답게 살라고 할 수 있습니까?” 하고 책망했습니다.
오직 믿음으로만 구원을 얻는다
15 우리는 날 때부터 유대인이지 소위 말하는 ‘이방 죄인’ 이 아닙니다.
16 그러나 우리는 사람이 율법을 지켜서 의롭게 되는 것이 아니라 예수 그리스도를 믿음으로 의롭게 된다는 것을 알기 때문에 우리도 그렇게 되려고 예수 그리스도를 믿고 있습니다. 그 누구도 율법을 지켜서 의롭게 될 사람은 없습니다.
17 만일 우리가 그리스도 안에서 의롭게 되려고 하다가 우리 자신이 죄인으로 판명되면 그리스도께서 죄를 짓게 하시는 분이라고 할 수 있습니까? 절대로 그럴 수 없습니다.
18 내가 이미 헐어 버렸던 율법의 체계를 다시 세운다면 나는 율법을 범하는 사람이 되고 맙니다.
19 나는 율법에 관한 한 율법 그 자체에 의해서 죽었습니다. 이것은 하나님을 위해 살기 위해서입니다.
20 내가 그리스도와 함께 십자가에 못박혀 죽었으므로 이제는 내가 사는 것이 아니라 내 속에 그리스도께서 사시는 것입니다. 지금 나는 나를 사랑하시고 나를 위해 죽으신 하나님의 아들을 믿는 믿음으로 살고 있습니다.
21 나에게는 [b]하나님의 은혜가 참으로 귀중합니다. 만일 율법을 지켜서 의롭게 된다면 그리스도께서 헛되이 죽으신 것이 되기 때문입니다.
Galatians 2
King James Version
2 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Galatians 2
English Standard Version
Paul Accepted by the Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. 2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those (A)who seemed influential) the gospel that (B)I proclaim among the Gentiles, (C)in order to make sure I was not running or had not (D)run in vain. 3 But even Titus, who was with me, (E)was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. 4 (F)Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who (G)slipped in to spy out (H)our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, (I)so that they might bring us into slavery— 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that (J)the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6 And from those (K)who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; (L)God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential (M)added nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been (N)entrusted with (O)the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John, (P)who seemed to be (Q)pillars, perceived the (R)grace that was given to me, they (S)gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, (T)the very thing I was eager to do.
Paul Opposes Peter
11 But (U)when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him (V)to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, (W)he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing (X)the circumcision party.[a] 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their (Y)conduct was not in step with (Z)the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas (AA)before them all, “If you, though a Jew, (AB)live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Justified by Faith
15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not (AC)Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that (AD)a person is not justified[b] by works of the law (AE)but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, (AF)because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found (AG)to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I (AH)died to the law, so that I might (AI)live to God. 20 I have been (AJ)crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives (AK)in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, (AL)who loved me and (AM)gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for (AN)if righteousness[c] were through the law, (AO)then Christ died for no purpose.

New King James Version
Defending the Gospel(A)
2 Then after fourteen years (B)I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me. 2 And I went up [a]by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but (C)privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means (D)I might run, or had run, in vain. 3 Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. 4 And this occurred because of (E)false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our (F)liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, (G)that they might bring us into bondage), 5 to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that (H)the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 But from those (I)who seemed to be something—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; (J)God [b]shows personal favoritism to no man—for those who seemed to be something (K)added nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, (L)when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised (M)had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter 8 (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the (N)circumcised (O)also (P)worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles), 9 and when James, [c]Cephas, and John, who seemed to be (Q)pillars, perceived (R)the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, (S)that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 They desired only that we should remember the poor, (T)the very thing which I also was eager to do.
No Return to the Law
11 (U)Now when [d]Peter had come to Antioch, I [e]withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; 12 for before certain men came from James, (V)he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing [f]those who were of the circumcision. 13 And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about (W)the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter (X)before them all, (Y)“If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, [g]why do you compel Gentiles to live as [h]Jews? 15 (Z)We who are Jews by nature, and not (AA)sinners of the Gentiles, 16 (AB)knowing that a man is not [i]justified by the works of the law but (AC)by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not (AD)by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
17 “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found (AE)sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I (AF)through the law (AG)died to the law that I might (AH)live to God. 20 I have been (AI)crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh (AJ)I live by faith in the Son of God, (AK)who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for (AL)if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died [j]in vain.”
