But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, for he was to be blamed. for till certain Jews came thither from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, for fear of those, who were for circumcision: read more. and the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him, insomuch that Barnabas himself was carried away with their hypocrisy.

take notice, 'tis I Paul declare it to you, that if you are circumcised, Christ shall be of no advantage to you. for I testify to every man that is circumcised, that he is under an obligation to perform the whole law.
