“The Gentiles, and especially the Greeks, wereextremely licentious, and there was danger thatsome, unconverted in heart, would make aprofession of faith without renouncing their evilpractices. The Jewish Christians could not tolerate

the immorality that was not even regarded ascriminal by the heathen. The Jews therefore held itas highly proper that circumcision and theobservance of the ceremonial law should beenoined on the Gentile converts as a test of their

sincerity and devotion. This, they believed, wouldprevent the addition to the church of those who,adopting the faith without true conversion of heart,might afterward bring reproach upon the cause by

immorality and excess.!E-G-- /T&e A)ts of t&e A(ost'es, )(- 19, (g-
