The men you brought here don’t rob temples or insult our goddess.
No one can deny this. So you have to be quiet and not do anything foolish.
Paul defended himself by saying, “I haven’t broken any Jewish law or done anything against the temple or the emperor.”
As you tell others not to commit adultery, are you committing adultery? As you treat idols with disgust, are you robbing temples?
Don’t cause others to stumble, whether they are Jewish, Greek, or members of God’s church.
We don’t give people any opportunity to find fault with how we serve.
