"although, as they adorned their conversation with works of righteousness, they had established themselves in the good opinion of the world."
Em contexto
3Now, while the Jews always maintained a feeling of unswerving loyalty towards the kings,
4yet, as they worshipped God, and observed his law, they made certain distinctions, and avoided certain things. Hence some persons held them in odium;
5although, as they adorned their conversation with works of righteousness, they had established themselves in the good opinion of the world.
6What all the rest of mankind said, was, however, made of no account by the foreigners;
7who said much of the exclusiveness of the Jews with regard to their worship and meats; they alleged that they were men unsociable, hostile to the king's interests, refusing to associate with him or his troops. By this way of speaking, they brought much odium upon them.
