Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Потом, через четырнадцать лет, опять ходил я в Иерусалим с Варнавою, взяв с собою и Тита.
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2 Ходил же по откровению, и предложил там, и особо знаменитейшим, благовествование, проповедуемое мною язычникам, не напрасно ли я подвизаюсь или подвизался.
2 I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
3 Но они и Тита, бывшего со мною, хотя и Еллина, не принуждали обрезаться,
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
4 а вкравшимся лжебратиям, скрытно приходившим подсмотреть за нашею свободою, которую мы имеем во Христе Иисусе, чтобы поработить нас,
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,
5 мы ни на час не уступили и не покорились, дабы истина благовествования сохранилась у вас.
5 to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
6 И в знаменитых чем-либо, какими бы ни были они когда-либо, для меня нет ничего особенного: Бог не взирает на лице человека. И знаменитые не возложили на меня ничего более.
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
7 Напротив того, увидев, что мне вверено благовестие для необрезанных, как Петру для обрезанных
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
8 [ибо Содействовавший Петру в апостольстве у обрезанных содействовал и мне у язычников],
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
9 и, узнав о благодати, данной мне, Иаков и Кифа и Иоанн, почитаемые столпами, подали мне и Варнаве руку общения, чтобы нам идти к язычникам, а им к обрезанным,
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
10 только чтобы мы помнили нищих, что и старался я исполнять в точности.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
11 Когда же Петр пришел в Антиохию, то я лично противостал ему, потому что он подвергался нареканию.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
12 Ибо, до прибытия некоторых от Иакова, ел вместе с язычниками; а когда те пришли, стал таиться и устраняться, опасаясь обрезанных.
12 For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13 Вместе с ним лицемерили и прочие Иудеи, так что даже Варнава был увлечен их лицемерием.
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 Но когда я увидел, что они не прямо поступают по истине Евангельской, то сказал Петру при всех: если ты, будучи Иудеем, живешь по-язычески, а не по-иудейски, то для чего язычников принуждаешь жить по-иудейски?
14 But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
15 Мы по природе Иудеи, а не из язычников грешники;
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
16 однако же, узнав, что человек оправдывается не делами закона, а только верою в Иисуса Христа, и мы уверовали во Христа Иисуса, чтобы оправдаться верою во Христа, а не делами закона; ибо делами закона не оправдается никакая плоть.
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
17 Если же, ища оправдания во Христе, мы и сами оказались грешниками, то неужели Христос есть служитель греха? Никак.
17 But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
18 Ибо если я снова созидаю, что разрушил, то сам себя делаю преступником.
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
19 Законом я умер для закона, чтобы жить для Бога. Я сораспялся Христу,
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
20 и уже не я живу, но живет во мне Христос. А что ныне живу во плоти, то живу верою в Сына Божия, возлюбившего меня и предавшего Себя за меня.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
21 Не отвергаю благодати Божией; а если законом оправдание, то Христос напрасно умер.
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… that Paul alone knew the truth, and that to him the mystery was manifested by revelation, let Paul himself convict them, when he says, that one and the same God wrought in Peter for the apostolate of the circumcision, and in himself for the Gentiles. Peter, therefore, was an apostle of that very God whose was also Paul; and Him …
… the Son is the work of the Father, since it is written, "Who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all;" and that the Passion of the Son was His own work also, "Who loved me, and gave Himself for me." The Father delivered up the Son, and the Son delivered up Himself.

"For He that wrought effectually in Peter," it is said, "to the apostleship of the circumcision, was mighty also in me towards the Gentiles." For since on seeing the Son, they were wroth and slew Him, He bids them again by His servants.

But I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that Gospel which I preached among the Gentiles." And again he says, "For an hour we did give place to subjection, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you." If, then, any one shall, from the Acts of the Apostles, carefully scrutinize the time concerning which it is …
But the Apostle says, "If righteousness come by the Law, then Christ is dead in vain." What the Apostle says of the Law, that say we of nature to these men.
