'Attacked' in the Bible

Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.
