Galatians 2:14

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

Strong's King James
(14) Yet when I saw that they weren't walking straight to the firm-truth of the good news, I said to Kefa before them all, "If you being a Judean, live like a Gentile-person and not like Judeans, how come you compel the Gentile-peoples to live like Judeans?" 
The F.O.G*
[14] When I saw they weren't being straight about the truth of the gospel, I confronted Peter publicly: "If you, a Jewish believer, have been living like a Gentile rather than following Jewish customs, how can you now pressure Gentiles to live like Jews?"
The F.O.G Paraphrase
But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, ‘If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?
