Galati 2
La Nuova Diodati
2 Poi, dopo quattordici anni, salii di nuovo a Gerusalemme con Barnaba, prendendo con me anche Tito.
2 Or vi salii per rivelazione ed esposi loro l'evangelo che io predico fra i gentili, ma lo esposi privatamente a coloro che godevano maggior credito, perché non corressi, o non avessi corso invano.
3 Ma neppure Tito che era con me benché fosse Greco, fu costretto a farsi circoncidere;
4 e ciò a causa dei falsi fratelli introdottisi abusivamente, i quali si erano insinuati per spiare la nostra libertà che abbiamo in Cristo Gesú, allo scopo di metterci in servitú.
5 A costoro non cedemmo in sottomissione neppure per un momento, affinché la verità dell'evangelo dimorasse salda fra di voi.
6 Ma da parte di quelli che godevano maggior credito (quali fossero stati, non m'importa nulla; Dio non ha riguardo a persona), ebbene, quelli che godono maggior credito non m'imposero nulla di piú.
7 Anzi al contrario, avendo visto che mi era stato affidato l'evangelo per gli incirconcisi, come a Pietro quello per i circoncisi
8 (poiché colui che aveva potentemente operato in Pietro per l'apostolato dei circoncisi, aveva potentemente operato anche in me per i gentili),
9 avendo conosciuto la grazia che mi era stata data, Giacomo, Cefa e Giovanni, che sono reputati colonne, diedero a me e a Barnaba la mano di associazione, affinché noi andassimo fra i gentili, ed essi fra i circoncisi.
10 Soltanto ci raccomandarono che ci ricordassimo dei poveri, proprio quello che anch'io mi ero proposto di fare.
11 Ma quando Pietro venne in Antiochia, io gli resistei in faccia, perché era da riprendere.
12 Infatti prima che venissero alcuni da parte di Giacomo, egli mangiava con i gentili; ma quando giunsero quelli, egli si ritirò e si separò, temendo quelli della circoncisione.
13 E anche gli altri Giudei fingevano assieme a lui, tanto che anche Barnaba fu trascinato dalla loro ipocrisia.
14 Ma quando io vidi che non camminavano rettamente secondo la verità dell'evangelo, dissi a Pietro in presenza di tutti: «Se tu, che sei Giudeo, vivi alla gentile e non alla giudaica perché costringi i gentili a giudaizzare?».
15 Noi, di nascita Giudei e non peccatori fra i gentili,
16 sapendo che l'uomo non è giustificato per le opere della legge ma per mezzo della fede in Gesú Cristo, abbiamo creduto anche noi in Cristo Gesú, affinché fossimo giustificati mediante la fede di Cristo e non mediante le opere della legge, poiché nessuna carne sarà giustificata per mezzo della legge.
17 Or se, cercando di essere giustificati in Cristo, siamo trovati anche noi peccatori, è forse Cristo ministro del peccato? Cosí non sia.
18 Se infatti edifico di nuovo le cose che ho distrutto, io mi costituisco trasgressore,
19 perché per mezzo della legge io sono morto alla legge, affinché io viva a Dio.
20 Io sono stato crocifisso con Cristo e non sono piú io che vivo, ma è Cristo che vive in me; e quella vita che ora vivo nella carne, la vivo nella fede del Figlio di Dio, che mi ha amato e ha dato se stesso per me.
21 Io non annullo la grazia di Dio perché, se la giustizia si ha per mezzo della legge, allora Cristo è morto invano.
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]

Галатам 2
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Паула принимают другие посланники Исы Масиха
2 Четырнадцать лет спустя я опять побывал в Иерусалиме, на этот раз с Варнавой. Мы взяли с собой и Тита. 2 Было откровение, что я должен пойти туда, и я изложил лидерам той общины верующих содержание Радостной Вести, которую я возвещаю среди язычников. Я сделал это в личной беседе с теми, кто считался главным среди верующих, чтобы проверить, не напрасно ли я трудился и тружусь. 3 Так они не потребовали даже, чтобы Тит, бывший греком, был обрезан! 4 А вопрос этот был поднят лжебратьями, которые скрытно проникли в нашу среду, желая лишить нас той свободы, которую мы получили в Исе Масихе, и опять поработить нас. 5 Но мы ни в чём не поддались им ни на минуту, чтобы у вас сохранилась истина Радостной Вести.
6 И те, за кем признавался наибольший авторитет в иерусалимской общине верующих (лично для меня их высокое положение ничего не значило, потому что Всевышний судит о человеке не взирая на лица), ничего не потребовали сверх той Радостной Вести, которую я возвещал. 7 Наоборот, они были убеждены в том, что мне было доверено возвещать Радостную Весть необрезанным точно так же, как Петиру – обрезанным.[a] 8 Ведь Всевышний, Который действовал через Петира в его служении посланника Масиха для обрезанных, действовал и через меня в служении для язычников. 9 Якуб, Кифа и Иохан – те, кого считают столпами среди верующих, подали мне и Варнаве руку общения в знак того, что они признают данное мне по благодати служение и соглашаются с тем, что нам следует идти к язычникам, а им – к обрезанным. 10 Они лишь попросили о том, чтобы мы не забывали о помощи бедным[b], что я и исполняю с большим усердием.
Оправдание верой в Ису Масиха
11 Когда же Кифа пришёл в Антиохию, я высказал ему всё прямо в лицо, потому что он был виноват. 12 Раньше он ел вместе с верующими из язычников, но когда пришли некоторые люди из общины Якуба, он стал устраняться и перестал общаться с бывшими язычниками из страха перед теми, кто был обрезан[c]. 13 Так же лицемерно, как он, начали поступать и другие иудеи, так что их лицемерие сбило с правильного пути даже Варнаву. 14 Когда я увидел, что они поступают не в согласии с истиной Радостной Вести, я сказал Кифе в присутствии всех: «Ты иудей, но живёшь как язычник, а не как иудей. Зачем же ты заставляешь язычников следовать иудейским традициям?»
15 Мы, иудеи по рождению, а не «грешные язычники», 16 знаем, что человек получает оправдание не соблюдением Закона, а верой в Ису Масиха. Поэтому и мы поверили в Ису Масиха, чтобы и нам быть оправданными верой в Него, а не соблюдением Закона. Соблюдением же Закона не оправдается никто.[d] 17 И если мы, ища оправдания через Масиха, оказываемся такими же грешниками, как и язычники, значит ли это, что Масих распространяет грех? Ни в коем случае! 18 Ведь если я вновь пытаюсь оправдаться через соблюдение Закона, что некогда сам же и отверг, то этим я показываю, что я нарушитель Закона. 19 Закон приговорил меня к смерти, и, умерев, я освободился от власти Закона, чтобы жить для Всевышнего![e] Я был распят с Масихом, 20 и уже не я, но Масих живёт во мне. Моя жизнь в этом теле – это жизнь верой в (вечного) Сына Всевышнего, полюбившего меня и отдавшего Себя за меня. 21 Я не отвергаю благодать Всевышнего. А если бы оправдание можно было получить через соблюдение Закона, то это значило бы, что Масих умер напрасно!
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.”
