Acts 18:12-16
English Standard Version
12 But when Gallio was (A)proconsul of Achaia, (B)the Jews[a] made a united attack on Paul and (C)brought him before the tribunal, 13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to (D)the law.” 14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious (E)crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15 But (F)since it is a matter of questions about words and names and (G)your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16 And he drove them from the tribunal.

Acts 18:12-16
New International Version
12 While Gallio was proconsul(A) of Achaia,(B) the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment. 13 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. 15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law(C)—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.” 16 So he drove them off.
