The Influence of Pernicious Example
Galatians 2:13
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.


As it sometimes happens on the snow slopes of the Alps that one man's slip will involve the overthrow and destruction of all his fellow-travellers, so it is in the spiritual life. Peter drags Barnabas and the rest of the Jews with him; and in our own day men too often exercise the same fatal spell on those within the region of their influence.

(S. Pearson, M. A.)
