Acts 18:15

German Interlinear 1979 (Interlinearübersetzung)

wenn aber Streitfragen sind über Lehre und Namen und Gesetz das bei euch, sollt ihr zusehen selbst! Richter ich über diese nicht will sein.

Was bedeutet das?

In this verse from Acts 18:15, Paul is telling the Jews that he will not judge matters of their law or debates about words and names. He believes they should take responsibility for these issues themselves.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you're playing a game with your friends, but someone starts arguing over what certain rules mean. Your friend says, 'That's up to you guys to figure out; I won't decide that.' Paul is doing the same thing here—he’s telling others to handle their own arguments.

Historischer Hintergrund

This verse was written by Luke in his Acts of the Apostles around AD 80-90. It describes an interaction between Paul and Jews who were questioning him about Jewish law, reflecting the complex cultural setting where Judaism intersected with early Christianity.

Anwendung für heute

In a modern context, if your friends argue over rules or interpretations of school policies, you might decide it's not worth getting involved unless it directly affects you. Focus on what matters most to you and avoid unnecessary disputes.
