Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:
I am become foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing.
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havock of it:
but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havock;
as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
