TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:12 That Peter ate with the Gentile believers was consistent with what God had shown him (Acts 10:9-16, 34-35).
• The friends of James wanted to reassert Jewish scruples and prevent the free communion between Gentiles and Jews from continuing.
• Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore: When Peter refused to share regular meals and the Lord’s Supper (cp. 1 Cor 11:20-22, 33-34) with fellow Christians, he divided the Jewish and Gentile Christians and implied that the Jews’ observances made them more acceptable to God. Peter’s example, if uncorrected, would have undermined the Good News of salvation by grace through faith.
• He was afraid: The friends of James intimidated Peter, who had previously withstood the same sort of criticism with power and eloquence (Acts 11:2-18). Peter might have been trying to avoid creating a barrier for the evangelism of Jews, or he might have been concerned for the safety and well-being of the Jewish Christians in Judea, who experienced persecution from non-Christian Jews (cp. 5:11; 6:12). In any case, his actions were inexcusable.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces Paul’s reason for why he opposed Cephas to his face (See: [2:11](../02/11.md)) and for why Paul claimed in [2:11](../02/11.md) that Cephas stood condemned. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a reason. If it would be more natural in your language to state the reason for an action before giving the result, see the note for [2:11](../02/11.md) on creating a verse bridge. Alternate translation: [The reason is that] or [The reason that Peter stood condemned is that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθεῖν & ἦλθον

˓to˒_come & ˱they˲_came

Your language may say “went” rather than came in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: [went … they went]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Paul uses the word But here to introduce a contrast between how Peter acted before certain ones came from James and how he acted after they came. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast.

ἀφώριζεν ἑαυτόν

˓was˒_setting_apart himself

Alternate translation: [was staying away from the Gentile believers]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

φοβούμενος τοὺς ἐκ περιτομῆς

fearing the_‹ones› of ˓the˒_circumcision

If it would help your readers the reason Peter was afraid can be stated explicitly. See [6:12](../06/12.md) where Paul says that those trying to compel the Galatian believers were doing so because they did not want to be persecuted. Alternate translation: [being afraid that the unbelieving Jews might persecute him]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τοὺς ἐκ περιτομῆς

the_‹ones› of ˓the˒_circumcision

See how you translated the phrase the circumcision in [2:7](../02/07.md). Here, the term the circumcision probably refers specifically to Jews who were not believers in Jesus, since it is unlikely that Peter would have feared Jewish Christians or the men whom James sent.
