 33Como está escrito: He aquí pongo en Sión piedra de tropiezo, y piedra de caída; Y aquel que creyere en ella, no será avergonzado. (Ro. 9:30‑33)

• As it was Christ who led them to do this, He was become the minister of sin. That was a conclusion that I am sure Peter shrank from with horror, but he had to face it If he was wrong in eating with the Gentiles, he certainly did it by the Lord’s direct command, given to him in the vision he got in Acts 10.  If he was wrong therein, Christ it was who had instructed him to do wrong. If, on the other hand, he was right then, he was wrong now, and had become a transgressor. (“Withstood at Antioch” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• For in rebuilding the edifice of the law, they made it evident that they ought not to have overthrown it; and it was Christ who made them do so. (“Galatians 1-2” by J.N. Darby)
• If, then, he was right in giving up the law as a means of justification, he was clearly wrong in turning back to it. But it was for Christ's sake that he had given up the law. If he was right in turning back to law, then Christ had led him to do wrong in giving it up. This was impossible; for Christ cannot lead a man to do wrong—He is not a minister of sin. (“Galatians 2” by H. Smith)
