Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,

And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,

So, straight away, I sent for you; and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before God, ready to give attention to all the things which the Lord has given you to say.

Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.

Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Now, about that time, Herod the king made cruel attacks on the Christians.

And when Peter came to his senses he said, Now, truly, I am certain that the Lord has sent his angel and taken me out of the hands of Herod, against all the hopes of the Jews.

Now when it was day, the armed men were greatly troubled about what had become of Peter.

Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon: and they came to him, all together, and having made friends with Blastus, the controller of the king's house, they made a request for peace, because their country was dependent on the king's country for its food.

Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.

And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.

And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people.

Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.

Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:

Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God.

Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.

Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith.

Now certain men came down from Judaea, teaching the brothers and saying that without circumcision, after the rule of Moses, there is no salvation.

And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.

But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.

Now when they had gone through Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Synagogue of the Jews:

And when they were not able to get them, they took Jason and some of the brothers by force before the rulers of the town, crying, These men, who have made trouble all over the world have now come here;

Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so.

Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was troubled, for he saw all the town full of images of the gods.

(Now all the Athenians and the men from other lands who come there were giving all their time to talking or hearing of anything new.)

For when I came by, I was looking at the things to which you give worship, and I saw an altar with this writing on it, TO THE GOD OF WHOM THERE IS NO KNOWLEDGE. Now, what you, without knowledge, give worship to, I make clear to you.

Those times when men had no knowledge were overlooked by God; but now he gives orders to all men in every place to undergo a change of heart:

Now on hearing about the coming back from death, some of them made sport of it, but others said, Let us go more fully into this another time.

And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles.

Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings.

Now after these things were ended, Paul came to a decision that when he had gone through Macedonia and Achaia he would go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I have a desire to see Rome.

And now, as you see, I am going to Jerusalem, a prisoner in spirit, having no knowledge of what will come to me there:

And now I am conscious that you, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom, will not see my face again.

And now, I give you into the care of God and the word of his grace, which is able to make you strong and to give you your heritage among all the saints.

My brothers and fathers, give ear to the story of my life which I now put before you.

And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name.

So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.

But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order

And they are not able to give facts in support of the things which they say against me now.

Now after a number of years I came to give help and offerings to my nation:

Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

But had certain questions against him in connection with their religion, and about one Jesus, now dead, who, Paul said, was living.

And now I am here to be judged because of the hope given by God's word to our fathers;

And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

But now, I say to you, be of good heart, for there will be no loss of life, but only of the ship.

Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.

You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

Now, the reward is credited to him who does works, not as of grace but as a debt.

Now, it was not because of him only that this was said,

Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.

For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.

But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

For we are conscious that all living things are weeping and sorrowing in pain together till now.

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.

Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?

For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers,

Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you,

But now I go to Jerusalem, taking help for the saints.

Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Now may the God of peace be with you all. So be it.

Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.

Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

I gave you milk and not meat, because you were, then, unable to take it, and even now you are not able;

Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

For even now you are full, even now you have wealth, you have been made kings without us: truly, I would be glad if you were kings, so that we might be kings with you.

When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.

Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.

Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

For the husband who has not faith is made holy through his Christian wife, and the wife who is not a Christian is made holy through the brother: if not, your children would be unholy, but now are they holy.

Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.

But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.

Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:
