³ Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

² Indeed I, Paul, say to you that ^(A)if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. ³ And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised ^(B)that he is ^[a]a debtor to keep the whole law. ^4 (C)You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; ^(D)you have fallen from grace. ⁵ For we through the Spirit eagerly ^(E)wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. ⁶ For ^(F)in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but ^(G)faith working through love.

³ Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he ^(A)took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.

²⁰ and ^(A)to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the ^[a]law, that I might win those who are under the law; ^21 (B)to ^(C)those who are without law, as without law ^(D)(not being without ^[b]law toward God, but under ^[c]law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law;

^13 (A)I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.
