But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew that at Beroea, too, the word of God was preached by Paul, they came hither also, and stirred up the multitudes.

And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go to the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.

Now all the Athenians, and the strangers residing among them, spent their leisure for nothing else but to tell or to hear something new.

The times indeed of ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all men every where to repent;

And when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but ethers said, We will hear thee again about this matter.

But certain men joined themselves to him, and believed; among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite; and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent;

but if it be questions of doctrine, and names, and your law, look to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of these matters.

But they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgmentseat; and Gallio cared for none of these things.

And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

but having taken leave of them, saying, I will return to you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But Aquila and Priscilla having heard him, took him to them, and set forth to him the way [of the Lord] more fully.

And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.

But when some were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of the way [of the Lord] before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of Tyrannus.

And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?

and ye see and hear, that this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, not only of Ephesus, but of almost all Asia, saying, that those are not gods, which are made with hands.

And there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.

But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice for about two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!

But when the Recorder had quieted the multitude, he said, Men of Ephesus, who is there among men that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the great Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.

But we set sail from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.

But Paul went down and fell on him, and having embraced him, said, Make no lamentations; for his life is in him.

We however, going forward to the ship, put to sea for Assos, intending to take in Paul from that place; for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot.

how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but have made it known to you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house;

But I count life of no value to me, so that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

And it came to pass, after we had torn ourselves from them, and had put to sea, that we came with a straight course to Cos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.

And finding a ship crossing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and put to sea.

But we, finishing our voyage, came down from Tyre to Ptolemais; and having embraced the brethren, remained with them one day.

But when we heard this, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go to Jerusalem.

Then answered Paul, What mean ye that ye weep, and break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

But they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk after the customs.

These take, and purify thyself with them, and pay the expenses for them, that they may shave their heads; and all will know that those things of which they have been informed concerning thee are nothing, but that thou thyself also walkest in observance of the Law.

But concerning the gentile believers, we have written to them and decided that they should observe no such thing, save only to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from what hath been strangled, and from fornication.

But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus, a citizen of no mean city of Cilicia; and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.

But it came to pass, as I was on my way, and approaching Damascus, that about noon there suddenly shone around me a great light from heaven;

And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but the voice of him that spoke to me they did not hear.

But one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, well spoken of by all the Jews who dwelt there,

And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned, and beat in every synagogue, those that believed in thee;

the chief captain ordered him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might ascertain for what cause they were thus crying out against him.

But when they had stretched him out with the cords, Paul said to the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

The chief captain answered, For a great sum I obtained this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was born a Roman.

But Paul, perceiving one part to be Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried aloud in the council, Brethren! I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; for the hope of the resurrection of the dead I am now tried.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees affirm both.

And there arose a great clamor; and scribes of the party of the Pharisees arose, and contended, saying, We find nothing amiss in this man; but if a spirit hath spoken to him or an angel

But Pauls sisters son hearing of the plot went, and entering the castle, told Paul.

But do not thou yield to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves with an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him; and they are now ready, looking for the promise from thee.

This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them; but I came upon them with the soldiery, and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

but I found him to be accused only on account of questions of their law, and to have nothing laid to his charge deserving death or bonds.

But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the castle.

But not to detain thee too long, I pray thee to hear us, in thy clemency, a few words.

But this I acknowledge to thee, that according to the way [of belief] which they call a sect, so do I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and by the Prophets;

in doing which they found me purified in the temple, not with a crowd nor with tumult; but certain Jews from Asia [caused it],

But Felix, having an accurate knowledge of the matters relating to this way [of belief], put them off, and said, When Lysias the chief captain cometh down, I will thoroughly examine your case.

But after two years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and Felix, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, left Paul bound.

But Festus answered that Paul was in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was going thither shortly.

But Festus, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?

But Paul said, I stand at the judgmentseat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.

If indeed I am an offender, and have done anything deserving death, I refuse not to die; but if there be nothing in the charges which they bring against me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.

but had against him certain questions of their own religion, and of one Jesus that was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

And I being at a loss about such questions, asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be put on trial for these matters.

But Paul having appealed to be kept in custody for the judgment of Augustus, I ordered him to be kept till I should send him up to Caesar.

But having found that he had done nothing deserving death, and he himself having appealed to Augustus, I determined to send him;

Which I also did in Jerusalem; and many of the saints did I myself shut up in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

But arise and stand upon thy feet; for I have appeared to thee for this purpose, to prepare thee as a minister and a witness both of the things which thou sawest, and of those on account of which I will appear to thee;

but first to those in Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judaea, and then to the gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

But he saith, I am not mad, most noble Festus, but utter words of truth and soberness.

And Paul said, I would to God, that with little effort or with great, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, might be made such as I am, except these bonds.

And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

And there the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria about to sail for Italy, put us on board of it.

And sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.

But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession of the boat;

And after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves this injury and loss.

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

But we must be cast upon some island.

And as the sailors were seeking means to escape from the ship, when they had lowered the boat into the sea, under the pretence that they were about to carry out anchors from the foreship,

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.

And when it was day, they did not know the land; but they observed a certain creek having a beach, into which they determined, if possible, to run the ship.

And falling into a place having the sea on both sides, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the stern was breaking to pieces with the violence [of the waves].

But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and ordered those who could swim to cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land,

But they were looking for his becoming swollen, or suddenly falling down dead. But after looking a great while, and seeing no harm come to him they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

who also honored us with many honors, and when we put to sea, loaded us with such things as were necessary.

And after three months we put to sea in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the island, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not that I had any charge to bring against my nation.

But we think it proper to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for with regard to this sect, we know that it is everywhere spoken against.

But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also, as among the other gentiles.

For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

Because though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful to him; but became perverse in their reasonings, and their senseless minds were darkened;

who, although knowing the ordinance of God, that they who practise such things deserve death, not only do them themselves, but approve of those who do them.

But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practise such things.

But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up for thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God,

but to those who are contentious, and disobedient to the truth; but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and indignation.

but glory, honor, and peace, to every one whoso works are good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

for it is not the hearers of a law who are righteous before God, but the doers of a law will be accounted righteous;

But if thou art called a Jew, and restest on the Law, and makest thy boast of God,

For circumcision is indeed a benefit to thee, if thou keep the Law; but if thou art a breaker of the Law, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, spiritual, not literal, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

But if our unrighteousness serve to display the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicteth punishment? (I am speaking as men do.)
