Acts 18:15

But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

KJV

εἰ δὲ ζητήματά ἐστιν περὶ λόγου καὶ ὀνομάτων καὶ νόμου τοῦ καθ’ ὑμᾶς, ὄψεσθε αὐτοί· κριτὴς ἐγὼ τούτων οὐ βούλομαι εἶναι.

Greek NT

Si vero quæstiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, et lege vestra, vos ipsi videritis : judex ego horum nolo esse.

Vulgate

but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.

ASV

But if they be questions of word and names and of your law, look you to it. I will not be judge of such things.
