For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles.

When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

(for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles)

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong.

since the one at work in Peter for an apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in me for the Gentiles.

But when Cephas  came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned.

(for he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

(for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles)

Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed

As for those who were considered important in the church, their reputation doesn’t concern me. God isn’t impressed with mere appearances, and neither am I. And of course these leaders were able to add nothing to the message I had been preaching. It was soon evident that God had entrusted me with the same message to the non-Jews as Peter had been preaching to the Jews. Recognizing that my calling had been given by God, James, Peter, and John—the pillars of the church—shook hands with me and Barnabas, assigning us to a ministry to the non-Jews, while they continued to be responsible for reaching out to the Jews. The only additional thing they asked was that we remember the poor, and I was already eager to do that.

Later, when Peter came to Antioch, I had a face-to-face confrontation with him because he was clearly out of line. Here’s the situation. Earlier, before certain persons had come from James, Peter regularly ate with the non-Jews. But when that conservative group came from Jerusalem, he cautiously pulled back and put as much distance as he could manage between himself and his non-Jewish friends. That’s how fearful he was of the conservative Jewish clique that’s been pushing the old system of circumcision. Unfortunately, the rest of the Jews in the Antioch church joined in that hypocrisy so that even Barnabas was swept along in the charade.

(for He who was at work for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles)

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

(for He who worked effectively for Peter and empowered him in his ministry to the Jews also worked effectively for me and empowered me in my ministry to the Gentiles).

Now when Cephas (Peter) came to Antioch, I opposed him face to face [about his conduct there], because he stood condemned [by his own actions].

(for he who empowered Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles)

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he had clearly done wrong.
