And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat them ill, four hundred years.

But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.

And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them,

and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought, for by their trade they were tentmakers.

and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust.

Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.
