What tendency did Peter give in to on more than one occasion?Likely, we can rid ourselves completely of some imperfect tendencies. But we might find that other inclinations continue to give us trouble. Consider the case of the apostle Peter. He gave in to fear of man when he denied Jesus three times. (Matt. 26:69-75) Peter seemed to have overcome that fear when he gave a bold witness before the Sanhedrin. (Acts 5:27-29) However, some years later, “fearing those of the circumcised class,” he temporarily stopped eating with Gentile Christians. (Gal. 2:11, 12) Peter’s fear had returned. Perhaps he was never completely free of it.

Peter struggled with the fear of man, as seen in his denial of Jesus (Matt. 26:69-75) and later when he hesitated to associate with Gentile Christians out of fear (Gal. 2:11, 12). Despite his boldness in the Sanhedrin (Acts 5:27-29), this tendency revealed that he may not have fully overcome that fear.
