How does Paul address hypocrisy in the church?

In Galatians 2:11-14, Paul stands against Peter's hypocritical actions when he withdrew from eating with Gentiles. This public confrontation was necessary not only to correct Peter but also to safeguard the truth of the gospel from being compromised. By highlighting the inconsistency between Peter's actions and the gospel message, Paul demonstrates that even prominent leaders can fall into error. This reminds us that accountability is essential within the church to maintain its integrity, ensuring that the gospel's truth remains central to our relationships and community (Romans 15:7).
