Give No Offense

Acts 25:6-8 
6 And when he had remained among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, sitting on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought. 7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood about and laid many serious complaints against Paul, which they could not prove, 8 while he answered for himself, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all.”

The governor heard Paul in court, as well as the Jews who wanted him dead still.  The allegations were weighty, but lacked merit - they could not prove anything.  So Paul again made it clear he did nothing against Roman law, let alone against the Jewish religious system.  He made it a point to be without offense to God and man, as we should also.  Standing for the truth in loving response (though firm) allows God to show His glory in His sovereign work.
