No Return to the Law

11 aNow when1 Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;  
12 for before certain men came from James, ahe would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing1 those who were of the circumcision.  
13 And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about athe truth of the gospel, I said to Peter bbefore them all, c“If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews,1 why do you compel Gentiles to live as2 Jews?  
15 aWe who are Jews by nature, and not bsinners of the Gentiles,  
16 aknowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but bby faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not cby the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

Galatians 2:13

And the other Jews dissembled likewise - That is: Those who were converted to Christianity from among the Jews, and who had also been convinced that the obligation of the Jewish ritual had ceased, seeing Peter act this part, and also fearing them that were of the circumcision, they separated themselves from the converted Gentiles, and acted so as to convince the Jews that they still believed the law to be of moral obligation; and so powerful was the torrent of such an example, that the gentle, loving-hearted Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation, ͅ ̔ , with their hypocrisy - feigning to be what they really were not.
