Galatians 2:11-14
Excerpted from: When Actions Contradict Stated BeliefsThe apostle Paul encountered hypocrisy among Jewish Christians who refused to eat with the Gentile converts.
So the Judaizers accused Paul of watering down the gospel to make it easier for the Gentiles to accept, while Paul accused the Judaizers of nullifying the truth of the gospel by adding conditions to it. And the basis of salvation was the issue. So the argument came to a head when Peter, Paul, the Judaizers, and some Gentile Christians all gathered together in Antioch to share a meal, and Peter probably thought that by staying aloof from the Gentiles, he was promoting harmony. He did not want to offend James' Jewish friends, but Paul charged that Peter's action violated the gospel. By joining the Judaizers, Peter implicitly supported their claim that Christ was not sufficient for salvation. Compromise is an important element in getting along with others, but we should never compromise the truth of God's Word.
