Acts 18:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong, or an evil deed, O ye Jews, I would according to [a]reason maintain you.
15 But if it be a question of [b]words and [c]names, and of your Law, look ye to it yourselves: for I will be no judge of those things.
16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.

Acts 18:14-16
New International Version
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(A)—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.” 16 So he drove them off.
