Acts 18:15

²⁹I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.

¹⁹but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

⁴he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

⁴and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.

³especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

²³But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

¹¹For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

⁹but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

²⁴So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

⁴saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
