I thought you wanted to say that verse 6 is the continuation of a sentence
that leaves off at verse 3 (4 and 5 being parenthetical). Did I misunderstand
you?
Aren't you saying that the sentence, sans parenthetical material, goes like
this:
3:..was compelled to be circumcised
5...by those esteemed to be something...
Ie:
:..was compelled to be circumcised by those esteemed to be something..
Is that what you are saying the function of APO in verse 5 is serving?
Bill,
I think you're misquoting me. I said he was NOT compelled to be circumcised.
Then you have a parenthetical comment about the false brothers followed by
the statement that this failure to require the circumcision of Titus way by
the bigwigs. Actually, I should have translated that as "by those who are
reputed to be something, whoever they are, it doesn't matter." Thus it
simply states that though Titus was a Greek he was not required by the high
muckie-mucks to be circumcised although certain "false brothers" wished to
require it. It simply does not indicate any separation from them but rather
agreement with their decision.
