1過了十四年，我同又上耶路撒冷去，並帶著提多同去。Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2我是奉啟示上去的，把我在外邦人中所傳的福音對弟兄們陳說；卻是對那有名望之人說的，惟恐我現在，或是從前，。I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.
3但與我同去的提多，雖是希臘人，也沒有勉強他受割禮；Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
4因為有的假弟兄，私下窺探我們在基督耶穌裡的自由，要叫我們作奴僕。This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.
5我們就是一刻的工夫也沒有容讓順服他們，為要叫福音的真理仍存在你們中間。We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
6至於那些有名望的，不論他是何等人，都與我無干。 神不以外貌取人。那些有名望的，並沒有加增我甚麼，But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—those leaders added nothing to me.
7反倒看見了主託我傳福音給那未受割禮的人，正如託彼得傳福音給那受割禮的人。On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
8（那感動彼得、叫他為受割禮之人作使徒的，也感動我，叫我為外邦人作使徒；）For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
9又知道所賜給我的恩典，那稱為教會的雅各、磯法、約翰，就向我和巴拿巴用右手行相交之禮，叫我們往外邦人那裡去，他們往受割禮的人那裡去。And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
10只是願意我們記念窮人；這也是我本來熱心去行的。They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
11後來，磯法到了；因他有可責之處，我就他。When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
12未到以先，他，及至他們來到，他因怕，就與外邦人隔開了。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, for fear of those in the circumcision group.
13其餘的猶太人也都隨著他，甚至連巴拿巴也隨夥裝假。The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14但我一看見他們，與福音的真理不合，就在眾人面前對磯法說：「你既是猶太人，若隨外邦人行事，不隨猶太人行事，怎麼還勉強外邦人隨猶太人呢？」When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
15我們這生來的猶太人，不是外邦的罪人；We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
16既知道人不是因行律法，乃是因信耶穌基督，連我們也信了基督耶穌，使我們因信基督稱義，不因行律法稱義；因為，沒有一人因行律法稱義。know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17我們若求在基督裡稱義，卻仍舊是罪人，難道基督是叫人犯罪的嗎？！But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!
18我素來所拆毀的，若重新建造，這就證明自己是犯罪的人。If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
19我因律法，就向律法死了，叫我可以向 神活著。For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
20我已經與基督同釘十字架，現在活著的不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著；並且我如今在肉身活著，是因信 神的兒子而活；他是愛我，為我捨己。I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21我不 神的恩；義若是藉著律法得的，基督就是。I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
