KJV ORIGINAL
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Before some people showed up from James, Peter was totally cool eating with non-Jewish believers. But the second those guys arrived, he backed away and started avoiding them because he was scared of what the strict Jewish Christians would think.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Peter let peer pressure make him treat people differently, and Paul wasn't having it.
