Galatians 2:15
Compare all
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.  
17 “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found asinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!  
18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I athrough the law bdied to the law that I might clive to God.  
20 I have been acrucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh bI live by faith in the Son of God, cwho loved me and gave Himself for me.  
21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for aif righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died1 in vain.”

Galatians 2:15

Not sinners of the Gentiles (ouk ec eqnwn amartwloi). The Jews regarded all Gentiles as "sinners" in contrast with themselves (cf. Matthew 26:45 "sinners" and Luke 18:32 "Gentiles"). It is not clear whether verses Galatians 2:15-21 were spoken by Paul to Peter or whether Paul is now simply addressing the Galatians in the light of the controversy with Peter. Burton thinks that he is "mentally addressing Peter, if not quoting from what he said to him."
