It's not a paraphrase, it's a primarily dynamic equivalence. Paraphrase Bibles are things like The Message that use English Bibles as their starting point. The NLT is a translation that primarily relied on dynamic equivalence, because dynamic equivalence is a more reliable method of translation.
Sure from Galatians 2, the verse you quoted what law was Paul speaking about. You identified that there is a law that pertained to the "old system" but which law was that from the context of this passage.
I am asking you to identify the law that Paul is speaking of. It is well established that Paul quotes different laws, because there is a law that is holy, just and good Rom7:12 that cannot be the same law that is contrary and against.
So you don't know the context of what Paul is stating which is found in Gal 2:1-3 which sets up the entire chapter and these verses you quoted.
That might be what they say, but in the case of these verses in question it is very much a paraphrase. Here is a word for word translation. See the difference.
“Yet it was a concern because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy on our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us. But we did not yield in subjection to them, even for an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.”
You don't seem to grasp the difference between a paraphrase and a dynamic equivalence. Word for word is an inferior translation method, which is almost never used for translating across languages in ordinary practice because it is more likely to lead to inappropriate understandings. Dynamic equivalence is more reliable and more reflective of how people go about translating in ordinary circumstances because it is more likely to capture the true meaning of the text in the new language. So your premise that word for word is somehow more accurate is deeply flawed.
No point in adding more than one it says. Its about circumcision.“Yet it was a concern because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy on our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us. But we did not yield in subjection to them, even for an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.”

This is talking about the legalists that wanted the Christians to first become Jews and keep the law. Paul calls them false brothers.
Neh9:13 Exo34:28 Deut 31:24-26 Read Romans 7, 1 Cor7:19, its all throughout the Bible.
That's funny, I asked you to provide the context to what Paul is speaking about in the verses you posted, which you never did. If the Bible tells us there are different laws and Paul quotes them himself in different chapters, why would the letter in Galatians be isolated from all the rest of Scripture, its not.
It's not that I couldn't, but you're the one making claims about multiple laws so it's up to you to show how that comes from the context of the letter.
Yeah, enjoy your cherry picked proof texts.
You don't see that the issue is using words and phrases that are not in the text. makes it a paraphrase or even worse a commentary.
Hey there SB! It is about the Book of the Law which circumcision is in not Justifying anyone.
Gal 2:3 is about circumcision which is part of the book of the law that Moses wrote that was placed besides the ark of the covenant Deut31:24-26. The Jews were requiring new Gentile converts to be circumcised to hear the gospel Gal 2:3 and in order to be saved Acts 15:1. This is what Paul was constantly correcting that they could save themselves apart from Jesus, which we know was never the role of circumcision or any law for that matter.
BINGO!
