I would think the KJV has all the precision regards to "was to be blamed" NLT fall short since anyone could be wrong but cannot be put to be blamed". While the message is quite true that Peter did wrong but this was not done unknowingly. He did was compelling the Gentiles to live like a Jew that's is why Paul withstood him and the matter he was to be blamed. I believe, the KJV is still precise in its translation of Gal.2:11 God bless
No; there is no change in doctrine. You can claim it all you like, but it just ain't so.
One does not make doctrine on a single verse, which is what you are doing. "Condemn" does not always mean what you claim that it means. You must consider the use of the word in that translation, not in another translation.

Yes; there is a change in doctrine between the kjv and the ESV of Galatians 2:11.
In the ESV, it teaches that a believer can stand condemned; while in the kjv, it does not teach that.
In that verse specifically, the doctrine is different from translation to translation.
Galatians 2:11, I am certain, is only one example of this.

I think you just need to be careful of the newer translations that they are not departing from doctrine, but it is very difficult to know from a choppy translation what has been cut out or omitted or glossed over.
Unless you compare them with something, and most ppl compare other bibles to KJV being one of the earliest and widely available bibles in English.
The other way is just to read the entire Bible version and hope that it makes sense, or ask God about tricky passages. Usually scriptrue will cross reference other scriptures. If thees inconsistencies or things just make you scratch your head and go what?!
Then you may have a dud translation. I found this with NIV. It was purportedly easier to read than KJV but I found it harder. It just didnt make any sense. But reading KJV, everything clicked. It was like the holy spirit had illuminated the Bible for me.
