Galatians 2:3 Douay-Rheims

But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Gentile, was compelled to be circumcised.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

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

What means, "being a Greek?" Of Greek extraction, and not circumcised; for not only did I so preach but Titus so acted, nor did the Apostles compel him to be circumcised. A plain proof this that the Apostles did not condemn Paul's doctrine or his practice. Nay more, even the urgent representations of the adverse party, who were aware of these facts, did not oblige the Apostles to enjoin circumcision, as appears by his own words.
