The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: ACT 19:24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made
silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
ACT 19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation,
and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
ACT 19:26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but
almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away
much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
ACT 19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at
nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be
despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and
the world worshippeth.
