Speaking

Conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that in a case where they speak against you as those who do what is evil, they will, by observing your good works, glorify God on the day of visitation.

However, do this with gentleness and respect, keeping your conscience clear,

so that when you are accused, those who denounce your Christian life will be put to shame.

But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to oppose what Paul was saying by insulting him.

But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook his robe

and told them, “Your blood is on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

But these people, like irrational animals—creatures of instinct born to be caught and destroyed—speak blasphemies about things they don’t understand, and in their destruction they too will be destroyed,

But these people blaspheme anything they don’t understand. What they know by instinct like unreasoning animals—they destroy themselves with these things.

General references

When a wicked man comes, contempt also does,
and along with dishonor, disgrace.

Then justice will inhabit the wilderness,
and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.

and you once walked in these things when you were living in them.

Let us then go to Him outside the camp, bearing His disgrace.
