Galatians 2:14
Compare all
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.  
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.

Galatians 2:14

Galatians 2:14 But when I saw . . . I said unto Peter. It was time to act decisively. Antioch was a great center. It was important that no wrong influences go forth from that center. Hence Paul administered the stern rebuke to Peter which follows. Before [them] all. The rebuke was on a public occasion. If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles. He had, right there in Antioch, lived with the Gentile Christians according to their customs (Galatians 2:12). Why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? Now, he insisted, at least by his example, that the Gentile Christians should become Jews. He virtually refused to fellowship them.
