but to write unto them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

To be abstaining from idol sacrifices, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication, - From which, if ye keep yourselves, ye shall prosper. Fare ye well.

and, leading them forth outside, said - Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?

But, certain both of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were encountering him; and some were saying - What might this picker-up-of-scraps wish to be saying? And, others - Of foreign demons, he seemeth to be a declarer: because, of Jesus and the Resurrection, he was announcing the joyful tidings.

And so, laying hold of him, they brought him up, to the Hill of Mars, saying - Can we get to know what this new teaching is, which, by thee, is being spoken.

For, certain foreign things, art thou bringing into our hearing: We are minded to get to know, therefore, what these things please to be!

For, passing through, and carefully observing your objects of devotion, I found an altar also, in which was inscribed - Unto an Unknown God. What, therefore, not knowing, ye reverence, the same, do, I, declare unto you.

And he said - Into what, then, were ye immersed? And, they, said - Unto John's immersion.

Others, indeed, were crying out something else; for the assembly had become confused, and, the greater part, knew not for what cause they had come together.

And, when they were come to him, he said unto them - Ye yourselves, well know, from the first day when I set foot in Asia, in what manner came to be with you all the time,

in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;

Then, answered Paul - What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For, I, not only to be bound, but to die in Jerusalem, am ready, in behalf of the name of the Lord Jesus.

And, after these days, making ready what we had, we started to go up unto Jerusalem;

What, then, is it? at all events, they will hear that thou hast come.

But, concerning them of the nations who have believed, we ourselves, sent, deciding that they should be guarding themselves, both as to idol sacrifice, and blood, and what is strangled, and fornication.

Then, the captain, drawing near, laid hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains, - and began to enquire, who he might be, and what he had done;

And said - What shall I do, Lord? And, the Lord, said unto me - Arise, and be going thy way into Damascus, and, there, shall it be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

And, now, what art thou going to do? Arise, and get thyself immersed, and have thy sins bathed away, calling upon his name.

the captain ordered him to be brought into the castle, saying, that, with scourging, he should be put to the test, - that he might find out, for what cause they were, thus, clamouring against him.

And, when the centurion heard that , he went unto the captain, and reported, saying - What art thou going to do? For, this man, is, a Roman?

And the captain, taking him by the hand, and going aside, began, privately, to ask - What is it which thou hast to report unto me?

And, when he had read it, and asked out of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia,

Or, let, these themselves, say what wrong they found, when I stood before the High-council, -

What! incredible, is it judged with you, that, God the dead doth raise?

But we deem it well, that, from thee, we should hear what are thine opinions; for, indeed, concerning this sect, it is, known to us, that, everywhere, is it spoken against.

Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, -

tribulation and anguish - against every soul of man who worketh out what is base, both of Jew first and of Greek, -

But glory and honour and peace - unto every one who worketh what is good, both unto Jew first and unto Greek:

What, then, is the preeminence of the Jew? Or what, the profit of his circumcision?

For what? If some distrusted, shall their distrust make, the trust of God, void?

But, if, our unrighteousness, commendeth, God's righteousness, what shall we say? Surely, not unrighteous, is God who visiteth with his anger? After the manner of men, I am speaking, -

What then? do we screen ourselves? Not at all! For we have before accused both Jews and Greeks of being, all under sin;

Where, then, the boasting! It is excluded. Through what kind of law? Of works? Nay! but through a law of faith:

What then shall we say - as touching Abraham our forefather?

For what doth the Scripture say? And Abraham believed in God, and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.

Who, past hope, upon hope believed, so that he became father of many nations, - according to what had been said - So shall be thy seed; -

And being fully persuaded (that), - what he hath promised, able is he also to perform:

What then shall we say? are we still to continue in sin that favour may abound?

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law but under favour? Far be it!

What fruit, therefore, had ye then - in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death.

What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! On the contrary, I had not discovered, sin, save through law, for even, of coveting, I had not been aware if, the law, had not kept on saying - Thou shall not covet;

For, that which I am working out, I do not approve, - for not, what I wish, the same I practise, but, what I hate, the same I do:

Now, if what I wish not the same I do, I consent unto the law that it is right.

I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!

Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me.

For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

For, what is preferred by the flesh, is death, whereas, what is preferred by the spirit, is life and peace; -

Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, is hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it. -

For, by our hope, have we been saved, - but, hope beheld, is not hope, for, what one beholdeth, why doth he hope for?

If, however, what we do not behold we hope for, with endurance, are we ardently awaiting it ; -

In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness, - for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable,

And, he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is preferred by the Spirit - that, according to God, he maketh intercession in behalf of saints;

What, then, shall we say to a these things? If God is for us, who shall be against us?

What, then, shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!

Whom he also called, even us, not only from among Jews, but also from among the nations, what then?

What, then, shall we say? That, they of the nations, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have laid hold of righteousness, - a righteousness, however, which is by faith;

But what saith it? Near thee, is the declaration, In thy mouth and in thy heart, - that is, the declaration of the faith, which we proclaim: -

But, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; - for, Isaiah, saith - Lord! who believed what we have heard?

God hath not cast off his people, whom he fore approved. Or know ye not, in the account of Elijah what the scripture saith, when he intercedeth with God against Israel?

But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal.

What then? That which Israel seeketh after, the same, it hath not obtained: - the election, however, have obtained it, and, the rest, have been hardened; -

For, if, the casting away of them, hath become the reconciling of a world, what shall, the taking of them in addition, be, but life from among the dead?

And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God - the good and acceptable and perfect.

For, God's minister, is he unto thee for that which is good. But, if, that which is evil, thou be doing, be afraid! For, not in vain, the sword he beareth; for, God's minister, he is, - an avenger, unto anger, to him who practiseth what is evil.

Let, each one of us, unto his neighbour give pleasure - for what is good unto upbuilding;

And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power:

What then is Apollos? and, what is Paul? ministers through whom ye believed, and, each, as the Lord, gave to him.

Each one's work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, - and, each one's work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: -

For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? But, if thou didst even receive it, why dost thou boast, as though thou hadst not received it?

What will ye? that, with a rod, I should come unto you? or, with love, and a spirit of meekness?

For what have I to do to be judging them who are without? Do, ye, not judge, them who are within,

Unto the wife, let the husband render what is her due, and, in like manner, the wife also, unto the husband, -

But, this, I say - the opportunity is, contracted for what remaineth - in order that, they who have wives, may be, as though they had none,

This, however, with a view to your own profit, am I saying, - not that, a snare, upon you, I may cast, but with a view to what is comely, and devoted unto the Lord, without distraction.

If however anyone considereth it behaving unseemly towards his virginity, if he should be beyond the bloom of life, - and, thus, it ought to come about, what he chooseth, let him do, - he sinneth not: let them marry:

What, then, is my reward? that, in telling the glad-message, free of cost, I should put the glad-message, - to the end I should not use to the full my right in the glad-message.

Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

As, to prudent men, I speak, - judge, ye, what I say: -

What, then, am I saying? - that, an idol-sacrifice, is anything? or that, an idol, is anything?

Let, no one, be seeking, what concerneth himself, but that which concerneth some one else.

What! have ye not houses for your eating and drinking? or, the assembly of God, do ye despise, and, put to shame them who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this, I praise you not.

But, now, brethren - if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit, you, except I speak, unto you, either by way of revelation, or knowledge, or prophesying, or teaching?

In like manner, the things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, if, a distinction in the sounds, they do not give, how shall it be known, what is being piped or harped?

So, also, ye, through means of the tongue, except ye give intelligible discourse, how shall it be known what is being spoken? for ye will be speaking, to the air.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the mind, - I will strike the strings with the spirit, butI will strike the strings also with the mind.

Else, if thou be blessing in a spirit, he that filleth up the place of the ungifted person, how shall he say the Amen upon thy thanksgiving? since indeed, what thou art saying, he knoweth not;

What, then, is it, brethren? Whensoever ye are coming together, each one, hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath a translation: - let, all things, be done, unto building up.

Through which also ye are being saved, - if ye hold fast, with what discourse, I announced the joyful message unto you; unless indeed, in vain, ye believed.

For I delivered unto you, among the first things, what also I received: - how that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,

But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void, - but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.

Else, what will they do, who are being immersed in behalf of the dead? If, not at all, are the dead to be raised, why are they even being immersed in their behalf?

If, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild-beasts at Ephesus, what, to me, the profit? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for, tomorrow, we die.

But some one will say - How, are the dead raised? and, with what kind of body, do they come?

Simple one! What, thou, sowest, is not quickened, except it die;

And, what thou sowest, not the body that shall come into existence, dost thou sow, but a naked kernel - if it so happen, of wheat, or of any of the rest, -

For, no other things, are we writing unto you, than what ye are either reading or even acknowledging, - I hope, moreover, that, throughout, ye will acknowledge,

Now, to whom ye forgive anything, I, also; for, I also, what I have forgiven, if, anything, I have forgiven, for your sake, in the person of Christ, have I forgiven it .

And verily, we who are in the tent, do sigh, being weighed down, while yet we are not wishing to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves over, - in order that, what is mortal, may be swallowed up, by life.

Be not getting diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Beliar? Or what part hath a believer with an unbeliever?
