ACC ~ Galatians 2 v3

THE CASE OF TITUS. AMBROSIASTER: The implication is “Why should you be circumcised, when Titus was not compelled to undergo circumcision by the apostles? Titus, who had an important role, was accepted without circumcision.” EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 2.3.

THE GRAVITY OF THE CASE. AUGUSTINE: It was because of the intrigues of false brethren that Titus was not compelled to be circumcised. It was not possible to require circumcision of him. Those who had crept in to spy on their liberty had a vehement expectation and desire for the circumcision of Titus. They wanted, with Paul’s testimony and consent, to preach circumcision as necessary to salvation. EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 11 [1B.2.3-5].
