And after certain day, Felix with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, coming, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith which is towards Christ Jesus.

at the same time also hoping that money will be given to him by Paul; therefore indeed the more frequently sending for him, he conversed with him.

and both the chief priests and the first men of the Jews appeared before him against Paul, and continued to entreat him,

asking favor against him, in order that he might send him to Jerusalem, making a plot to kill him on the road.

Then, says he, Let the influential ones among you, coming down, accuse him, if there is anything wrong in the man.

And he being present, the Jews having come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him charges many and heavy, which they were not able to prove.

concerning whom, I being in Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews appeared before me, asking condemnation against him;

but they had certain questions against him concerning their own religion, and about a certain Jesus, who is dead, whom Paul was saying that He is alive.

And I, being at a loss as to the question concerning these things, asked him if he is willing to go to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things.

And Paul having demanded that he should be kept for the diagnosis of Augustus, I demanded that he should be kept until I shall send him to Caesar.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I myself also would wish to hear the man. He says, To-morrow you shall hear him.

And Festus says, O king Agrippa, and all ye men present with us, you see this man, concerning whom the whole multitude of the Jews is besieging me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that it does not behoove him to live any longer.

But I discovered that he had done nothing worthy of death, however he himself appealing to Caesar, I decided to send him.

Concerning whom I have nothing definite to write to my lord; therefore I have led him to you, and especially to thee, O king Agrippa, in order that, there being an investigation, I may have something which I shall write;

for it seems to me to be unreasonable, sending a prisoner, and not to signify charges against him.

And on the following day we disembarked at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, permitted him having gone to his friends to receive their benefactions.

and they were looking for him to be about to swell up and suddenly fall down dead. But having looked a long time, and seeing nothing out of place come to him, changing their minds, they said that he was a god.

And it came to pass, that the father of Publius was lying prostrate with fevers and dysentery: to whom Paul having come in, and prayed, laying hands on him, healed him.

And this taking place, the rest also, on the island having diseases, continued to come to him, and be healed;

And when we came into Rome, it was permitted to Paul to remain to himself with the soldier guarding him.

And they said to him, Neither have we received letters from Judea concerning you, neither has any one of the brethren coming, proclaimed or spoken anything evil concerning you.

And having appointed a day with him, many came to him into his hired house, to whom witnessing he expounded the kingdom of God, indeed persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning unto evening.

And he spent a whole biennium in his own hired house, and received all those coming to him,

For the righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been written, But the just shall live by faith.

for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse:

because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

in the forbearance of God; unto the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, so that he is just, and justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.

But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt;

but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

Then how was it imputed? to him, being in circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

Therefore it was indeed imputed unto him for righteousness.

And it was not written on account of him alone, that it was imputed to him;

but on account of us also, to whom it is about to be imputed, who believe on him who raised up our Lord Jesus from the dead;

How much more then, having now been justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

but death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even on those who did not sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him who is to come.

Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death: in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so must we also walk in newness of life.

knowing this, that our old man is crucified along with him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed, that we may no longer serve sin;

But if we died along with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him:

knowing that Christ having risen from the dead dies no more; death no longer has dominion over him.

So, my brethren, ye are dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, to him who is risen from the dead, in order that we may bring forth fruit unto God.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you.

For the creature has been subordinated to mortality, not willingly, but through Him who subordinated it;

Indeed he who spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with him, freely give us all things?

But in all these we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

for the children not having been born, neither having done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election not of works, but of him that calleth,

Then it is not of him that willeth, nor him that runneth, but of God who shows mercy.

O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?

as has been written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring him up from the dead.

That if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:

For the scripture says, Every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich unto all that call on him.

Then how can they call on him on whom they have not believed? and how can they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

But what says the answer to him? I have left unto myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

or who has given unto him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

Because of Him, and through him, and unto him, are all things: to him be glory forever: amen.

But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink: for doing this you will heap coals of fire upon his head.

But receive to yourselves him who is weak in faith, not into disputations of doubtful matters.

Let not the one eating snub the one not eating. Let not the one not eating judge the one eating; for God received him.

Who art thou judging another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls: but he shall stand; for God is able to make him stand.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: except to him who considers it unclean, to him it is unclean.

But if your brother is grieved on account of your meat, you are no longer walking in divine love. Do not by your meat destroy him for whom Christ died.

And again, Let all the Gentiles praise the Lord; and let all ye peoples praise him.

And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.

but, as has been written, Those, to whom he has not been preached, shall see concerning him, and they who have not heard shall understand.

To Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery having been hidden during the eternal times,

because in everything you are enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge;

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.

For I determine to know nothing among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him having been crucified.

But, as has been written, the things which eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and has not entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

For who of men knows the things of man, except the spirit of the man which is in him? so indeed no one knows the things of God, except the Spirit of God.

But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For who knows the mind of the Lord, who shall give him counsel? But we have the mind of Christ.

If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

But I say to the rest, not the Lord, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is willing to live with him, let him not send her away.

But if the unbeliever departs, let him or her depart; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. God has called you in peace.

If not as the Lord has imparted to each one, and as God has called each one, so let him or her walk. And thus I command in all the churches.

Is one called having been circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has one been called in uncircumcision? let him not get circumcised.

But if any one considers that he is acting indiscreetly towards his virgin, if she may be marriageable, and thus it ought so to be, let him do what he wishes; he does not sin; let them marry.

If any one seems to know anything, yet he knows not as it behooves him to know;

but if any one loves God he is known of him.

but there is to us one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we in him.

For if any one may see you having knowledge sitting at the table in the idol temple, will not the conscience of him, being weak, be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to the idols?

Neither let us tempt the Lord, as some of them tempted Him, and were destroyed by serpents.

So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he may fall.

But if any one may say to you; This is offered to an idol, eat not, on account of him who gave the information, and his conscience.

Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man may indeed have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup;

If one is hungry let him eat at home; in order that you may not come together unto condemnation. But I will set in order the remaining things when I may come.

For the one speaking with a tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one hears him; but he speaks mysteries in the spirit:

but if there may be no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church; but let him speak to himself, and to God.

If any one seems to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him understand the things which I write to you, that they are of the Lord;

For it behooves him to reign until he may put all enemies under his feet.

For, he has subordinated all things beneath his feet. But when he may say, that all things have been subordinated, it is evident that the One having subordinated all things to him is excepted.

But when he may subordinate all things to him, then the Son himself will also be subordinated to him who hath subordinated all things to Himself, in order that God may be all things in all.

therefore let no one snub him. But send him forth in peace, in order that he may come to me: for I await him with the brethren.
