CAP. II.
1 And sith fourtene &yogh;eer aftir, eftsones
Y wente vp to Jerusalem with Barnabas,
and took with me Tite.
2 Y wente
vp bi reuelacioun, and spak with hem
the euangelie, which Y preche among
the hethene; and bi hem silf to these
that semeden to be sumwhat, lest Y
runne, or hadde runne in veyne.
3 And
nother Tite, that hadde be with me,
while he was hethene, was compellid to
be circumsidid;
4 but for false britheren
that weren brou&yogh;t ynne, whiche hadden
entrid to aspie oure fredom, which we
han in Jhesu Crist, to bring vs in to
seruage.
5 But we &yogh;yue no place to
subieccioun, that the treuthe of the gospel
schulde dwelle with &yogh;ou.
6 But of
these that semeden to be sumwhat;
whiche thei weren sum tyme, it perteyneth
not to me, for God takith not the
persoone of man; for thei that semeden
to be sumwhat, &yogh;auen me no thing.
7 But
a&yogh;enward, whanne thei hadden seyn, that
-- --
the euangelie of prepucie note was &yogh;ouun to
me, as the euangelie of circumcisioun
was &yogh;ouun to Petre;
8 for he that wrou&yogh;te
to Petre in apostlehed of circumcisioun,
wrou&yogh;te also to me among the hethene;
9 and whanne thei hadden knowe the grace
of God, that was &yogh;ouun to me, James,
and Petre, and Joon, whiche weren seyn
to be the pileris, thei &yogh;auen ri&yogh;thond
of felowschip to me and to Barnabas,
that we among the hethene, and thei in
to circumcisioun;
10 oneli that we hadde
mynde of pore men `of Crist, the which
thing Y was ful bisi to doon.
11 But
whanne Petre was comun to Antioche,
Y a&yogh;enstood hym in the face, for he was
worthi to be vndirnommen.
12 For bifor
that ther camen summen fro James, he
eete with the hethene men; but whanne
thei weren comun, he withdrow&yogh;, and
departide hym, dredinge hem that weren
of circumcisioun.
13 And the othere Jewis
assentiden to his feynyng, so that Barnabas
was drawun of hem in to that
feynyng.
14 But whanne Y saw&yogh;, that thei
walkiden not ri&yogh;tli to the treuthe of the
gospel, Y seide to Petre bifor alle men,
If thou, that art a Jew, lyuest hethenlich,
and not Jewelich, hou constreynest
thou hethene men to bicome Jewis?
15 We Jewis of kynde, and not synful men
of the hethene,
16 knowen that a man is
not iustified of the werkis of lawe, but
bi the feith of Jhesu Crist; and we
bileuen in Jhesu Crist, that we ben
iustified of the feith of Crist, and not
of the werkis of lawe. Wherfor of
the werkis of lawe ech fleisch schal not
be iustified.
17 And if we sechen to be
iustified in Crist, we oure silf ben
-- --
foundun synful men, whether Crist be
mynystre of synne?
18 God forbede. And
if Y bylde a&yogh;en thingis that Y haue
distruyed, Y make my silf a trespassour.
19 For bi the lawe Y am deed to the lawe,
and Y am fitchid to the crosse, that Y
lyue to God with Crist.
20 And now lyue
not Y, but Crist lyueth in me. But that
Y lyue now in fleisch, Y lyue in the
feith of Goddis sone, that louede me, and
&yogh;af hym silf for me.
21 Y caste not awey
the grace of God; for if ri&yogh;twisnesse be
thoru&yogh; lawe, thanne Crist diede with out
cause.
