Galatians 2:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible

13 And the other Jews played the hypocrites likewise with him, insomuch that Barnabas was [b]led away with them by that their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw, that they went not the [c]right way to the [d]truth of the Gospel, I said unto Peter before all men, If thou being a Jew, livest as the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, why [e]constrainest thou the Gentiles to do like the Jews?
