For you have brought forward these men, who are neither sacrilegious nor blasphemers against your goddess.
Therefore, since these things are not able to be contradicted, it is necessary for you to be calm and to do nothing rash.
Paul offered this defense: "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any matter."
You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.
Be without offense toward the Jews, and toward the Gentiles, and toward the Church of God,
May we never give offense to anyone, so that our ministry may not be disparaged.
