Philippi » Paul preaches in
And Sopater the (son) of Pyrrhus, the Berean, and Aristarchus, the Thessalonian, and Secundus; and Gaius the Derbean, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus the Asiatics, accompanied him; and these having gone in advance, awaited us in Troas; and we, after the days of unleaven bread, sailed from Philippi, and came to them into Troas within five days; where we spent seven days.
And when she and her household were baptized, she entreated us, saying, If you have found me to be faithful to the Lord, having come into my house, abide: and she constrained us. And it came to pass, we going to the prayer, a certain damsel having a spirit of divination met us, who brought much gain to her masters telling fortunes. She, following Paul and us, continued to cry out, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation. And she continued to do this many days. And Paul, being worn out, and turning round, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And he came out the same hour. And her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, arresting Paul and Silas, dragged them into the forum to the rulers, and leading them to the magistrates, said, These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews, and they proclaimed customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, or to do, being Romans. And the crowd stood up together against them: and the magistrates tearing off their garments, commanded the lictors to beat them with rods. And having laid many stripes on them, they cast them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them safely: who, having received such a charge, cast them into the interior prison, and fastened their feet into the wood. But at midnight Paul and Silas, praying, continued to sing praises to God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all were loosed. And the jailer, being awakened, and seeing the doors of the prison open, seizing a sword, was about to kill himself, thinking that his prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are here. And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and being alarmed, he fell down before Paul and Silas, and leading them out said, Sirs, what does it behoove me to do in order that I may be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou and thy household shall be saved. And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, along with all who were in his house. And taking them that hour of the night, he washed the blood from their stripes; and he and his were baptized immediately: and leading them into his house, he set a table by them, and rejoiced throughout his house, having believed in God. But it being day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Send away these men. And the jailer proclaimed these words to Paul, The magistrates have sent word that you may be released: now therefore having gone out, depart in peace. But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Roman men, they cast us into prison, and now do they cast us out privately? for no; but having come themselves let them lead us out. And the lictors proclaimed these words to the magistrates. And hearing that they are Romans, they were alarmed; and having come they called for them, and leading them out, requested them to go away from their city. And having come out from the prison they came to Lydia, and seeing the brethren, comforted them, and departed.

I can do all things through him who fills me up with dynamite. Moreover you did beautifully, communicating with my tribulation. And you indeed know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I came out from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in the word of giving and receiving, except you alone; because also in Thessalonica both once and twice you sent to my need. Not that I seek a gift; but I seek fruit abounding to your credit. But I have all things, and I abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus those things from you, an odor of a sweet savor, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
