Galatians 2:11-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

Paul Shows How Cephas Was Wrong

¹¹ When Cephas came to Antioch, I had to openly oppose him because he was completely wrong. ¹² He ate with people who were not Jewish until some men James had sent ⌞from Jerusalem⌟ arrived. Then Cephas drew back and would not associate with people who were not Jewish. He was afraid of those who insisted that circumcision was necessary. ¹³ The other Jewish Christians also joined him in this hypocrisy. Even Barnabas was swept along with them.

¹⁴ But I saw that they were not properly following the truth of the Good News. So I told Cephas in front of everyone, “You’re Jewish, but you live like a person who is not Jewish. So how can you insist that people who are not Jewish must live like Jews?”
