But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

Aber da ich sah, daß sie nicht richtig wandelten nach der Wahrheit des Evangeliums, sprach ich zu Petrus vor allen öffentlich: So du, der du ein Jude bist, heidnisch lebst und nicht jüdisch, warum zwingst du denn die Heiden, jüdisch zu leben?
Mas cuando vi que no andaban derechamente conforme a la verdad del evangelio, dije a Pedro delante de todos: Si tú, siendo Judío, vives como los Gentiles y no como Judío, ¿por qué constriñes a los Gentiles a judaizar?
Pero cuando vi que no andaban rectamente conforme a la verdad del evangelio, dije a Cefas delante de todos: «Si tú, siendo judío, vives como gentil y no como judío, ¿cómo obligas a los gentiles a vivir como judíos?
Voyant qu'ils ne marchaient pas droit selon la vérité de l'Evangile, je dis à Céphas, en présence de tous: Si toi qui es Juif, tu vis à la manière des païens et non à la manière des Juifs, pourquoi forces-tu les païens à judaïser?
Ma, quando io vidi che non camminavano di piè diritto, secondo la verità dell’evangelo, io dissi a Pietro, in presenza di tutti: Se tu, essendo Giudeo, vivi alla gentile, e non alla giudaica, perchè costringi i Gentili a giudaizzare?
Mas, quando vi que não andavam bem e direitamente conforme a verdade do evangelho, disse a Pedro na presença de todos: Se tu, sendo judeu, vives como os gentios, e não como judeu, por que obrigas os gentios a viverem como judeus?
