But when I saw that they do noth walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peterf before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

JND Translation Notes

h
The present tense here is characteristic; it is not the present of time; as Acts 25.11, "have done any wrong," and John 8.14, "I come." Perhaps we might say "saw them not walking," but it is too free.
