'Although' in the Bible

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

But when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, "If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to force the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

Are you so foolish? Although you began with the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by human effort?
