Galatia 2:3

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

Galatia 2:5

2:5 But ²  we did not surrender to them ³  even for a moment, ⁴  in order that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. ⁵ 

[2:3]  ¹ tn Grk “But,” translated here as “Yet” for stylistic reasons (note the use of “but” in v. 2).

[2:5]  ² tn Grk “slaves, nor did we…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, οὐδέ (oude) was translated as “But…even” and a new sentence started in the translation at the beginning of v. 5.

[2:5]  ³ tn Or “we did not cave in to their demands.”

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “even for an hour” (an idiom for a very short period of time).

[2:5]  ⁵ sn In order that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. Paul evidently viewed the demands of the so-called “false brothers” as a departure from the truth contained in the gospel he preached. This was a very serious charge (see Gal 1:8).
