ACTS 19:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.”
'There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited, and the goddess herself, worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty' — Demetrius escalates from economic anxiety to cosmic blasphemy: Artemis's divine dignity itself hangs in balance. Religious threat masquerades as theological defense.
