1 Then fourteene yeres after, I went vp agayne to Hierusalem with Barnabas, and toke Titus with me. Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2 I went vp also by reuelation, & I declared vnto them the Gospel which I preache among the gentiles: but priuately, with them which were the chiefe, lest by any meanes, I shoulde runne or had runne in vayne. I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain.
3 But neither Titus which was with me, beyng a Greke, was compelled to be circumcised, But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
4 And that because of incommers, being false brethren, which came in priuily, to spye out our libertie which we haue in Christe Iesu, that they myght bryng vs into bondage. Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.
5 To whom, no not for an houre, we gaue place by subiection, that the trueth of the Gospel might continue with you. to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
6 Of them which seemed to be somewhat (what they were in time passed, it maketh no matter to me, God accepteth no mans person) for they which seemed chiefe, added nothyng to me. And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me. As for those who were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message.
7 But contrary wyse, when they sawe that the Gospell of the vncircumcision was committed vnto me, as the Gospel of the circumcision was committed vnto Peter. On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
8 (For he that was myghtie in Peter, to the Apostleshyp of the circumcision, the same was myghtie in me towarde the gentiles) (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles.
9 When they perceaued the grace that was geuen vnto me, then Iames, Cephas, and Iohn, which seemed to be pyllers, gaue to me and Barnabas the ryght handes of felowshyppe, that we shoulde be Apostles vnto the Heathen, and they vnto the circumcision. and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
10 Onely that we shoulde remember the poore: Wherin also I was diligent to do the same. Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
11 But whe Peter was come to Antioche, I withstoode him to the face, because he was to be blamed. But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
12 For yer yt certaine came from Iames, he dyd eate with the gentiles: But whe they were come, he withdrue, and seperated himselfe, fearing them which were of the circumcision. For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. 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.
13 And the other Iewes dissembled lykewyse with hym: insomuch that Barnabas also was brought into their simulation. And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14 But when I sawe that they went not the ryght way to the trueth of the Gospel, I saide vnto Peter before them all: If thou beyng a Iewe, lyuest after the maner of the gentiles, and not as do the Iewes: Why causest thou the gentiles to lyue as do the Iewes? But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?” When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
15 We which are Iewes by nature, and not sinners of the gentiles, We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; “We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles
16 Knowe that a man is not iustified by the deedes of the lawe, but by the fayth of Iesus Christe: And we haue beleued on Iesus Christ, that we might be iustified by the fayth of Christe, and not by the deedes of the lawe, because by the deedes of the lawe no fleshe shalbe iustified. yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law 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, because by works of the law no one will be justified. know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
17 If then, whyle we seke to be made ryghteous by Christe, we our selues are founde sinners: is therfore Christe the minister of sinne? God forbyd. But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!
18 For yf I builde agayne the thynges which I destroyed, then make I my selfe a trespasser. For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.
19 For I, through the lawe, am dead to the lawe, that I myght lyue vnto God: I am crucified with Christe. For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.
20 Neuerthelesse, I lyue: yet nowe not I, but Christe lyueth in me. And ye lyfe which I nowe liue in the fleshe, I lyue by the faith of the sonne of God, which loued me, and gaue hym selfe for me. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I reiect not the grace of God: For yf ryghteousnesse come of the lawe, then Christe is dead in vayne. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
