You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess.
Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down and not do anything rash.
Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.”
You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—
We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
