갈라디아서 2
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
다른 사도들이 바울을 인정했다
2 그리고 십사 년이 지난 뒤에 나는 바나바와 함께 다시 예루살렘으로 갔습니다. 그때 나는 디도를 데리고 갔습니다. 2 나는 예루살렘으로 가라는 하나님의 계시를 받고야 갔습니다. 그리고 교회의 지도자들로 인정받고 있는 사람들과 따로 만나 내가 이방 사람에게 전하는 기쁜 소식에 대해 이야기하였습니다. 그것은, 내가 이미 한 일과 지금 하고 있는 일이 헛수고가 되지 않게 하려는 것이었습니다. 3 그때 나와 같이 있던 디도는 그리스 사람이었는데도, 전혀 할례받을 것을 강요당하지 않았습니다. 4 이 문제는 우리들 사이에 몰래 들어와 있던 몇몇 거짓 형제들 때문에 일어났습니다. 이 거짓 형제들은 우리가 그리스도 예수 안에서 누리고 있는 자유를 엿보고, 우리를 다시 노예로 만들려고 살그머니 들어온 자들이었습니다. 5 그러나 우리는 단 한 순간도 이들에게 굴복하지 않았습니다. 그것은, 여러분을 위하여 기쁜 소식의 진리를 보존하려는 것이었습니다.
6 교회의 지도자라는 명성을 가진 사람들이 내가 전하는 기쁜 소식과 다른 점을 나에게 가르쳐 준 것은 하나도 없었습니다. (하나님 앞에서는 모든 사람이 똑같으니, 그들이 크게 인정 받는 사람들이라는 사실이 내게는 아무런 상관이 없습니다.) 7 오히려 그들은, 하나님께서 베드로에게 유대 사람에게 기쁜 소식을 전하는 일을 맡기신 것처럼, 내게는 이방 사람에게 기쁜 소식을 전하는 일을 맡기셨다는 것을 알게 되었습니다. 8 베드로를 유대 사람을 위한 사도로 일할 수 있게 하신 바로 그 하나님께서, 나를 이방 사람을 위한 사도로 일할 수 있게 하셨기 때문입니다. 9 교회의 기둥으로 여겨지고 있던 야고보와 베드로와 요한은 하나님께서 나에게 이러한 특별한 은혜를 주신 것을 인정했습니다. 그들은 바나바와 나를 자기들과 같은 일을 하는 사람들로 맞아들인다는 뜻으로 오른손을 내밀어 악수하였습니다. 그렇게 하여, 우리는 계속 이방 사람에게 기쁜 소식을 전하고, 그들은 유대 사람에게 기쁜 소식을 전하기로 하였습니다. 10 그러면서 그들은 단 한 가지, 곧 가난한 사람들을 돕는 일을 잊지 말라고 부탁하였습니다. 그것이야말로 내가 간절히 하고 싶어하던 일이었습니다.
바울, 베드로의 잘못을 지적하다
11 베드로가 안디옥에 왔을 때 분명히 옳지 못한 일을 하기에, 내가 그를 마주 보고 나무랐습니다. 12 베드로는 처음 안디옥에 왔을 때 이방 사람들과 같이 먹고 사귀었습니다. 그러나 야고보가 보낸 유대 사람 몇이 오자, 그는 이방 사람들과 함께 음식 먹는 일을 그만두었습니다. 이방 사람도 반드시 할례를 받아야 한다고 믿는 유대 사람들이 두려웠기 때문입니다. 13 그러자 나머지 다른 유대 사람들도 베드로를 따라 위선자가 되었고, 바나바까지 이들을 따라 위선자처럼 행동하였습니다. 14 나는 이 유대 사람들이 기쁜 소식의 진리를 따라 행동하지 않는 것을 보고, 모든 사람 앞에서 베드로에게 이렇게 말하였습니다. “베드로 형제여, 당신은 유대 사람입니다. 그러나 당신은 유대 사람답게 살지 않고 이방 사람처럼 살고 있습니다. 그러면서 어떻게 이방 사람에게 유대 사람의 관습을 따르라고 강요한단 말입니까? 15 당신과 나는 이른바 ‘이방 죄인’ 으로 태어나지 않고 유대 사람으로 태어났습니다. 16 그러나 우리는, 사람이 율법을 지킴으로써가 아니라 오직 그리스도 예수를 믿음으로써, 하나님께서 받아 주실 만한 사람이 된다는 것을 압니다. 그래서 우리는 그리스도 예수를 믿었습니다. 그것은 율법을 지키기 때문이 아니라 그리스도를 믿음으로써, 하나님께서 받아 주실 만한 사람이 되려는 것이었습니다. 어느 누구도 율법을 지킴으로써, 하나님께서 받아 주실 만한 사람이 될 수는 없기 때문입니다.”
17 우리 유대 사람들이 그리스도를 믿는 믿음으로써 하나님께서 받아 주실 만한 사람이 되려고 애쓰다가, 우리가 여전히 죄인으로 있음을 알게 된다면 어떻게 되는 것입니까? 그리스도께서 우리를 죄 가운데로 인도하셨다는 뜻이겠습니까? 결코 아닙니다! 18 내 손으로 이미 헐어 버린 율법의 담을 내가 다시 세운다면, 오히려 나 자신이 율법의 가르침을 어긴 죄인임을 증명하는 것일 터입니다. 19 실제로 율법은 나를 죽였습니다. 그러나 그 죽음이, 법의 지배를 받고 사는 삶에서 나를 해방시켜 주었습니다. 그리하여 나는 지금 하나님을 위해 살고 있습니다. 20 나는 그리스도와 함께 십자가 위에서 죽었습니다. 그러므로 더 이상 내가 살지 않고, 그리스도께서 내 안에 살고 계십니다. 내가 지금 몸으로 살고 있는 이 삶은, 하나님의 아들을 믿는 믿음[a]으로 사는 것입니다. 그분은 나를 사랑하셔서, 나를 구원하기 위해 자신을 내주신 분입니다. 21 나는 하나님의 은혜를 무효가 되게 하지 않습니다. 만약 율법을 통해 하나님께서 받아 주실 만한 사람이 될 수 있다면, 그리스도께서는 헛되이 죽으신 것이 되기 때문입니다.

Galatians 2
New International Version
Paul Accepted by the Apostles
2 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem,(A) this time with Barnabas.(B) I took Titus(C) along also. 2 I went in response to a revelation(D) and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles.(E) I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race(F) in vain. 3 Yet not even Titus,(G) who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.(H) 4 This matter arose because some false believers(I) had infiltrated our ranks to spy on(J) the freedom(K) we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. 5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel(L) might be preserved for you.
6 As for those who were held in high esteem(M)—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism(N)—they added nothing to my message.(O) 7 On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task(P) of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised,[a](Q) just as Peter(R) had been to the circumcised.[b] 8 For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle(S) to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle(T) to the Gentiles. 9 James,(U) Cephas[c](V) and John, those esteemed as pillars,(W) gave me and Barnabas(X) the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me.(Y) They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles,(Z) and they to the circumcised. 10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor,(AA) the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
Paul Opposes Cephas
11 When Cephas(AB) came to Antioch,(AC) I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James,(AD) he used to eat with the Gentiles.(AE) But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.(AF) 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas(AG) was led astray.
14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel,(AH) I said to Cephas(AI) in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew.(AJ) How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?(AK)
15 “We who are Jews by birth(AL) and not sinful Gentiles(AM) 16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law,(AN) but by faith in Jesus Christ.(AO) So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in[d] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.(AP)
17 “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners,(AQ) doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!(AR) 18 If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.
19 “For through the law I died to the law(AS) so that I might live for God.(AT) 20 I have been crucified with Christ(AU) and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.(AV) The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,(AW) who loved me(AX) and gave himself for me.(AY) 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law,(AZ) Christ died for nothing!”[e]

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
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.”
