|
|
|
Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
|
|
18:14

|
|
|
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
|
|
18:15
|
但既是關于言論、名目、和你們自己的律法等問題，你們自理罷！我沒有意思要審判這些事。」

|
|
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

|
|
