This is a symbolic action to indicate that Paul will no longer try to teach the Jews there about Jesus. He is leaving them to God's judgment. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction)

Alternate translation: "You alone bear the responsibility for your punishment for sin" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
