Acts 16:28 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Do thyself no harm - This is the solemn command of religion in his case, and in all others. It enjoins upon people to do themselves no harm by self-murder, whether by the sword, the pistol, the halter; by intemperance, by lust, or by dissipation. In all cases, Christianity seeks the true welfare of man. In all cases, if it were obeyed, people would do themselves no harm. They would promote their own best interests here, and their eternal welfare hereafter.

Acts 16:28

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
