In Acts 13:43, what did Paul tell the Jews and proselytes to continue in?
Paul and Barnabas persuaded the Jews and religious proselytes to continue in the grace of God, not in the law of Moses. The text says they were to remain in the grace of God. This exhortation came after the synagogue congregation broke up in Antioch and Pisidia.
Les explains that in Acts 13:43, after the congregation was broken up, many Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. Les stresses it was not the law of Moses but the grace of God. He notes this is still in the transitional phase, where Paul, though the apostle of the Gentile, goes to the Jew first and does many things that seem Jewish, until Israel continues to reject and he turns almost completely to the Gentile, moving out of Judaism into the Age of Grace. Then in verse 44, the next Sabbath almost the whole city came to hear the Word of God. In verse 45, the unbelieving Jews saw the multitudes of Gentiles, were filled with envy, and spoke against Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
