Galatians 2:12-16 He ate with the people of the nations until some men James sent arrived. When they arrived, he drew back and separated himself. He feared those who were of the circumcised people.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² He ate with the people of the nations until some men James sent arrived. When they arrived, he drew back and separated himself. He feared those who were of the circumcised people. ¹³ The rest of the Jews were hypocrites with him, so much that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the good news. Therefore I said to Cephas, in front of them all: »If you, being a Jew, live as the nations do and not as the Jews, why do you compel the people of the nations to live like the Jews?« ¹⁵ We are Jews by birth, and not sinners from the nations. ¹⁶ Yet we know that a man is not righteous by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. We believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be righteous by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law. The works of the law justify no one.
