Galatians
Galatians 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
:12 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.
:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
If we see a fellow Brother in Christ obviously doing something wrong, isn't it our duty to say something to them? And we are to say it to them, not someone else, first.

:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Fruit of the Spirit
:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Wouldn't we rather have the Fruit of the Spirit, instead of the Works of the Flesh?
The next Chapters are Isaiah 56-61.
