11 Wahlala khona umnyaka nezinyanga eziyisithupha efundisa izwi likaNkulunkulu phakathi kwabo.
12 Kwathi uGaliyu engumbusi wase-Akhaya, abaJuda bamvukela uPawulu nganhliziyonye, bamyisa phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela,
13 bathi: “Lo muntu uphendukisa abantu ukuba bakhonze uNkulunkulu ngokuphambene nomthetho.”
14 Khona uPawulu esezakuvula umlomo, uGaliyu wathi kubaJuda: “O nina baJuda, uma bekuyicala noma ubugebengu obubi, bekufanele nginibekezelele;
15 kodwa uma kungukuphikisana ngamazwi, nangamagama, nangomthetho wakini, ziboneleni nina; mina angithandi ukuba ngumahluleli walezo zinto.”
16 Wayesebaxosha esihlalweni sokwahlulela.
17 Khona bonke bambamba uSostene umphathi wesinagoge,* bamshaya phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela; kodwa uGaliyu akaze anaka lutho lwalokho.
