Galatians 2:12-14
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
12 For before certain ones came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he was drawing-back and separating himself, fearing[a] the ones of the circumcision. 13 And the other Jews also joined-in-hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was carried-away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were not walking-straight[b] with regard to the truth of the good-news, I said to Cephas in front of everyone— “If you being a Jew are living Gentile-ly[c] and not Jewish-ly[d], how is it you are compelling the Gentiles to Judaize[e]?”
