TRUTH Galatians 2:14-16 Part 1 of 2

When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified." 

When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel 
Galatians 2:5  We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

I said to Cephas in front of them all 
Galatians 2:7  On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised (Gentiles), just as Peter (Cephas) had been to the circumcised (Jews).
Galatians 2:9  James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
Galatians 2:11  When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew 
Acts 10:28  He (Peter) said to them: "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean."

How is it then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? 
Galatians 2:12  For before certain men came from James, he (Cephas) used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.
