'The very dust of your town that clings to us, we wipe off from our feet as a protest. But mark this, the Reign of God is near!'

They shook the dust off their feet as a protest and went to Iconium.

But as they opposed and abused him, he shook out his garments in protest, saying, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am not responsible! After this I will go to the Gentiles."

Therefore do I protest before you this day that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you;

Now in the Lord I insist and protest that you must give up living like pagans; for their purposes are futile,

not to gratify sensual passion like the Gentiles in their ignorance of God ??6 no one is to defraud or overreach his brother in this matter, for the Lord avenges all these sins, as we told you already in our solemn protest against them.
