Galatians 2:3

2:3 Yet ¹  not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, although he was a Greek.

Galatians 3:3

3:3 Are you so foolish? Although you began ²  with ³  the Spirit, are you now trying to finish ⁴  by human effort? ⁵

¹ tn Grk “But,” translated here as “Yet” for stylistic reasons (note the use of “but” in v. 2).

² tn Grk “Having begun”; the participle ἐναρξάμενοι (enarxamenoi) has been translated concessively.

³ tn Or “by the Spirit.”

⁴ tn The verb ἐπιτελεῖσθε (epiteleisqe) has been translated as a conative present (see ExSyn 534). This is something the Galatians were attempting to do, but could not accomplish successfully.

⁵ tn Grk “in/by [the] flesh.”
