ACTS 18:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.”
'This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law' — The accusation avoids Roman political charges, instead framing Paul's teaching as violation of Jewish law (implying Roman tolerance of Jewish legal autonomy). The complaint targets theological innovation.
