The words "although it is not expedient" and "not being expedient" are two translations of the same participle. The Greek words for "it is necessary" and "now" are spelled and sound almost alike. The evidence seems to favor "it is necessary" as being original. The evidence also seems to indicate that the participle was changed to an indicative verb to improve the style and that an untranslated particle (men) that means "on the one hand" was changed to "for me" (moi).
