予見若輩之行、不遵福音正道、乃當眾而謂基法曰：『夫汝雖猶太人、起居飲食、猶且從眾、而不復拘泥於猶太俗矣。則又安得強外邦人從猶太俗乎？

但我一看见他们行的不正，与福音的真理不合，就在众人面前对矶法说：“你既是犹太人，若随外邦人行事，不随犹太人行事，怎么还勉强外邦人随犹太人呢？”

但我一看见他们做得不对，与福音的真理不合，就在众人面前对矶法说：“你既是犹太人，却按照外邦人的样子，不按照犹太人的样子生活，怎么能勉强外邦人按照犹太人的样子生活呢？”

但我一看见他们做得不对，与福音的真理不合，就在众人面前对矶法说：“你既是犹太人，却按照外邦人的样子，不按照犹太人的样子生活，怎么能勉强外邦人按照犹太人的样子生活呢？”

我看见他们不照福音的真理行，就当众对彼得说：“你身为犹太人，如果行事为人像外族人，不像犹太人，又怎能强迫外族人按犹太人的规矩生活呢？”

但我一见他们所行的不合福音的真理，就当众对矶法说：“你是犹太人，生活既然像外族人而不像犹太人，怎么还勉强外族人跟随犹太人的规矩呢？”

但我一看见他们的行为不符合福音的真理，就在大家面前对矶法说：“你身为犹太人，如果像外邦人而不像犹太人那样生活，怎么还要强求外邦人像犹太人一样呢？”

但我一看見他們行的不正，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？」

但我一看見他們做得不對，與福音的真理不合，就在眾人面前對磯法說：「你既是猶太人，卻按照外邦人的樣子，不按照猶太人的樣子生活，怎麼能勉強外邦人按照猶太人的樣子生活呢？」

但我一看見他們做得不對，與福音的真理不合，就在眾人面前對磯法說：「你既是猶太人，卻按照外邦人的樣子，不按照猶太人的樣子生活，怎麼能勉強外邦人按照猶太人的樣子生活呢？」

我看見他們不照福音的真理行，就當眾對彼得說：「你身為猶太人，如果行事為人像外族人，不像猶太人，又怎能強迫外族人按猶太人的規矩生活呢？」

但我一見他們所行的不合福音的真理，就當眾對磯法說：“你是猶太人，生活既然像外族人而不像猶太人，怎麼還勉強外族人跟隨猶太人的規矩呢？”

我一見他們不依着福音的真理按正直行，就在眾人面前對磯法說：『你既是猶太人，尚且按着外國人的樣子、而不按着猶太人的樣子生活，怎麼倒勉強外國人學猶太人的樣子呢？』

但我一看見他們的行為不符合福音的真理，就在大家面前對磯法說：「你身為猶太人，如果像外邦人而不像猶太人那樣生活，怎麼還要強求外邦人像猶太人一樣呢？」

我見其行不端、不依福音之真、遂於眾前語之曰、爾猶太人也、所行既如異邦人、非如猶太人、胡為強異邦人如猶太人乎、

我見其行不正、不遵福音真理、於眾前語彼得云、爾猶太人也、若從異邦、不從猶太人、則又何使異邦人從猶太人乎、

我見其行不正、不遵福音之真、乃於眾前謂磯法曰、爾猶太人也、既行如異邦人、非如猶太人、何又強異邦人、行如猶太人乎、

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?

I saw what they were doing. It was not in line with the truth of the good news. So I spoke to Peter in front of them all.“ You are a Jew,” I said.“ But you live like one who is not. So why do you force Gentiles to follow Jewish ways?”

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 following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others,“ Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?

But when I saw that they were deviating from the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone,“ If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel Gentiles to live like Jews?”

But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all,“ If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

But when I saw that they were not straight forward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all,“ If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

But when I saw that they were deviating from the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone,“ If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel Gentiles to live like Jews?”

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before[ them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

But when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all,“ If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

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?

乃語曰：『汝等固知猶太人素與他國人不相往來、惟天主已示予勿視人為塵俗不潔；

今爾何為拂逆天主、而欲以吾列祖及吾儕所不堪負荷之軛、加諸信徒之項乎？然吾儕固信己之獲救、乃賴耶穌之恩、與若輩無以異也。』

有怙惡者當眾責之以懲其他。

人之欲以形體之事眩世、而強爾受割禮者、其惟一動機、乃欲避免為基督十字架而被擯於世耳。

在斯一日。勝似千春。寧在主宅。充一閽人。莫為惡逆。入幕之賓。

當知聖神與吾曹咸不欲復以無謂之重負、加諸爾身、惟毋食祭餘之物、牲畜之血、與勒死之牲、且勿犯姦淫；無染於斯、則善甚矣。敬祝康泰。』

近聞有人由此前來、以言擾爾、搖惑爾心、此輩實未受吾儕之命、

其惟行善者。心口無欺謾。

惟伯鐸祿至安提阿時、有過、予曾面斥之。蓋有人來自雅各伯、當其未至伯鐸祿與外邦人同食；及其既至、彼乃逡巡引退、離群索居、惟恐受割禮者之誹己也。其餘猶太人、相率效尤、即巴拿巴亦被虛偽之風所靡。

寧受賢人責。苦口是良藥。莫受惡人諛。蜜中含辛螫。任憑彼作惡。吾禱終不輟。

『汝竟入未受割禮之家、且與之同食！』伯鐸祿即縷述其事之原委曰：『予曩在約帕城祈禱、神遊象外、見有物下降、髣髴布繫四角、自天下縋、直至予前、予凝視之、見內儲蟲蛇鳥獸、種類不一、且聞有聲告予曰：「伯鐸祿起！宰而食之！」予曰：「主、不可、俗物不潔、予未嘗入口也。」上空對曰：「天主潔之、何俗之有？」如是者三；諸物復歸於天。當時適有三人立我寓所之前、乃自凱塞里遣來訪予者；聖神命予與之同往、勿加岐視。與予同往者、尚有此兄弟六人。吾儕入其人之宅、彼告吾儕曾見一天神立於其室、曰：「遣人往約帕、邀西門別字伯鐸祿者至、彼將有以告汝；俾汝及全家咸蒙救恩。」予甫開言、聖神臨之、一如當日之臨吾儕也。予乃憶主之言曰：「如望以水施洗、而爾等將受聖神之洗焉。」夫天主既賜以靈賦、與吾儕信主耶穌基督時無異、予何人斯、能阻天主。』眾聞是語、悉皆默契而歸榮天主、曰：『由是觀之、天主普賜洪恩於異族、使由悔改而獲生命矣。』

正步而行、庶幾已跛者不致全然脫節、且得健步如常。

彼等既見予所受聖寵之不虛、於是號稱教會柱石之雅各伯基法及若望、相率與予及巴拿巴殷勤握手、以表心契；我往外邦、而彼等則傳道於受割禮者。

反之、彼等洞察予實受有傳福音於未割者之使命、適如伯鐸祿之傳福音於受割之人也。

我本人與主耶穌默契、深信天下本無不淨之物。惟人如視任何物為不淨、則斯物之於斯人也、誠為不淨矣。

禁止嫁娶、戒絕某種食物；夫食物乃天主所造也、亦在具有信德、而身體真道者、感恩受之而已矣。蓋天主所造皆善、固無有一物可以暴棄也。惟受之者當飲水思源耳。憑天主之聖言、及吾人之祈禱、萬物皆成聖潔矣。

吾意異邦人之歸順天主者、吾人不當再強其所難；第遺書戒之、勿犯姦淫、勿食祭餘之物、勒死之牲、與牲畜之血。蓋摩西之書、已徧傳諸邑、每值禮日誦之會堂由來舊矣。』

蓋此等飲食盥滌之規、僅屬外表儀式、舊時所設、而有待乎革新者也。

從予之提多、希臘人也、亦未有強之受割禮者。
