I see neither there nor anywhere else any evidence that he acted “for the sake of apparent piety and holiness”.
Excuse me, but why are we discussing him in public then? How did it leak out? Wake up sheeple! You have a bunch of self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, self-justifying power mongers controlling your lives. There is freedom in Christ, without the chains of Rome. Their stuff is toxic, self-made religion Paul warns against. Repent Rome, if you can.
