Conflict with Peter - Galatians 2:11-16

Antioch in Syria was Paul and Barnabas’s home base. What did Peter do wrong? What was his motivation?

What can we learn from the way Paul handles this conflict?

Verse 16 starts to make clear what the gospel problem is that has been hinted at in 1:6-10 and 2:3-5. What is that problem?

Justification by works or by ‘faith and works’ seems to arise in situations of fear (2:12), external pressures (1:3-5) or desire for people’s approval (1:10). How do you see these factors threatening your commitment to justification by faith alone?
