19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid anyone who talks too much.
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth
19 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.
19 Gossips can't keep secrets, so never confide in blabbermouths.
19 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.
19 A gossip goes around telling secrets, so don't hang around with chatterers.
13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
13 Unfortunately, the rest of the Jews in the Antioch church joined in that hypocrisy so that even Barnabas was swept along in the charade.
13 And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
13 As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter's hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
(Read Galatians 2:11-14)
Notwithstanding Peter's character, yet, when Paul saw him acting so as to hurt the truth of the gospel and the peace of the church, he was not afraid to reprove him. When he saw that Peter and the others did not live up to that principle which the gospel taught, and which they professed, namely, That by the death of Christ the partition wall between Jew and Gentile was taken down, and the observance of the law of Moses was no longer in force; as Peter's offence was public, he publicly reproved him. There is a very great difference between the prudence of St. Paul, who bore with, and used for a time, the ceremonies of the law as not sinful, and the timid conduct of St. Peter, who, by withdrawing from the Gentiles, led others to think that these ceremonies were necessary.

Those dearly buy their own praise, who put confidence in a man because he speaks fairly.
