Verse 20
Unto the Jews I became as a Jew - In Acts 16:3 , we find that for the sake of the unconverted Jews he circumcised Timothy. See the note on Acts 16:3 .
To them that are under the law - To those who considered themselves still under obligation to observe its rites and ceremonies, though they had in the main embraced the Gospel, he became as if under the same obligations; and therefore purified himself in the temple, as we find related, Acts 21:26 ; (note).
After the first clause, to them that are under the law as under the law, the following words, μη ων αυτος ὑπο νομον , not being myself under the law, are added by ABCDEFG, several others; the later Syriac, Sahidic, Armenian, Vulgate, and all the Itala; Cyril, Chrysostom, Damascenus, and others; and on this evidence Griesbach has received them into the text.
