For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed:
Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege:
Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
