And having hand-picked elders for them in every church, and had prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord into whom they believed.

having come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia. But the Spirit did not allow them.

Then passing by Mysia, they came down into Troas.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A certain man of Macedonia stood, begging him, saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us!

And after he saw the vision, we immediately tried to go into Macedonia, gathering that the Lord had called us in order to preach the gospel to them.

And when she was baptized, she and her household, she begged us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay. And she constrained us.

And after laying on them many stripes, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailor to keep them safely;

who, having received such a command, thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks.

But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly, men who are Romans and uncondemned, they threw us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! But coming themselves, let them bring us out.

And going out from the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia. And seeing the brothers, they comforted them and departed.

And the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. They, when they arrived, went into the synagogue of the Jews.

And he departed from there and entered into the house of one named Justus, one worshiping God, whose house was next to the synagogue.

And Paul having remained many days more, taking leave of the brothers, he sailed from there into Syria. And Priscilla and Aquila were with him. And Paul had shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow.

And he came to Ephesus and left them there. But he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

And intending to pass into Achaia, being encouraged, the brothers wrote to the disciples to welcome him; who, having arrived, very much helped those who had believed through grace.

And Paul said, John truly baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe into Him coming after him, that is, into Jesus Christ.

And going into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

And sending into Macedonia two who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he stayed in Asia for a time.

And not only is this dangerous to us, our share coming into dispute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted for nothing, and her magnificence is also about to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.

And some of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, sent to him, begging him not to give himself into the theater.

And after the uproar had ceased, calling the disciples and greeting them, Paul left to go into Macedonia.

And passing through those parts, and exhorting them with much speech, he came into Greece.

And spending three months there, there being a plot against him by the Jews, being about to sail into Syria, he proposed to return through Macedonia.

And Sopater of Berea accompanied him into Asia, and Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus as far as Asia.

And sighting Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed into Syria, and came down to Tyre. For the ship was to unload its cargo there.

And giving parting greetings to one another, we went up into the ship; and they returned to their own things.

And coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, and binding his hands and feet, he said, The Holy Spirit says these things: So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the hands of the nations.

Then taking the men on the next day, being purified with them, Paul went into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of the purification, until an offering should be offered for each of them.

crying out, Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who teaches all everywhere against the people and the Law and this place. And even he brought Greeks into the temple and has polluted this holy place.

(For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city before, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

And others cried something else in the crowd, and not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, he commanded him to be carried into the fortress.

And as Paul was about to be led into the fortress, he said to the chiliarch, Is it lawful for me to say a thing to you? And he said, Do you know Greek?

Then are you not the Egyptian who before these days caused a riot, and led four thousand men of the assassins out into the wilderness?

I persecuted this Way as far as death, binding and delivering both men and women into prisons;

as also the high priest bears witness to me, and all the elderhood. And receiving letters from them to the brothers, I traveled into Damascus indeed to lead those being bound to Jerusalem, in order that they might be punished.

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise and go into Damascus. And there it shall be told you all things which are appointed for you to do.

And I did not see, because of the glory of that light; being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.

And as they shouted and tore their garments, and threw dust into the air,

the chiliarch commanded him to be brought into the fortress, saying for him to be examined by scourging, so that he might know why they cried out so against him.

And dissension arising, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and to take him from among them by force, and to bring him into the fortress.

And hearing of the ambush, Paul's sister's son, having come near, and entering into the fortress, he reported to Paul.

And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp and had entered into the auditorium with both the chiliarchs and principal men of the city, also Festus commanding, Paul was brought out.

which taking, they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they should fall into the sandbanks of Syrtis, lowering the tackle, so they were borne along.

But the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and lowering the boat into the sea, pretending to be about to cast out anchors from the prow,

And being filled with food, they lightened the ship, throwing the wheat into the sea.

And when day came, they did not recognize the land. But they discovered a certain bay with a beach, into which they were minded, if they were able, to drive the ship.

Then indeed he shook off the creature into the fire, suffering no harm.

And when we came into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the camp commander. But Paul was allowed to dwell by himself, with a soldier guarding him.

And after three days it happened that Paul called together those being chief of the Jews. And they coming together, he said to them, Men, brothers, I did nothing against the people or customs of our fathers. I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature.

Through Him we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice on the hope of the glory of God.

Therefore, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed on all men inasmuch as all sinned:

Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life.

but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members.

that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

But the righteousness of faith says this: "Do not say in your heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven?" that is, to bring Christ down;

or "Who shall descend into the deep?"; that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes indeed, their voice went out into all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

Even so then, also in this present time a remnant according to the election of grace has come into being.

For if you were cut out of the natural wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more these being according to nature will be grafted into their own olive-tree?

whenever I may go into Spain, I will come to you. For in traveling through I hope to see you, and to be set forward there by you, if first I may be filled of you in part.

Therefore when I have completed this, and have sealed this fruit to them, I will come by you into Spain.

But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard," nor has it entered into the heart of man, "the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

Therefore when you come together into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

For also by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit.

So also you, if you do not give a clear word through the language, how will it be known what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air.

and to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia to you, and to be brought on my way toward Judea by you.

I had no rest in my spirit because I did not find Titus my brother. But taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.

But we all, with our face having been unveiled, having beheld the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are being changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Lord Spirit.

For, indeed, coming into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but being troubled in every way, with fightings on the outside, and fears on the inside.

But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

pulling down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ;

For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?

that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not allowed for a man to utter.

I marvel that you so soon are being moved away from Him who called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel,

Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.

Then I went into the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,

And I went up by revelation. And I put before them the gospel which I proclaim in the nations, but privately to those seeming to be pillars, lest I run, or I ran, into vanity.

And I say this, A covenant having been ratified by God in Christ, the Law (coming into being four hundred and thirty years after) does not annul the promise, so as to abolish it.

For as many as were baptized into Christ, you put on Christ.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, coming into being out of a woman, having come under Law,

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

having abolished in His flesh the enmity (the Law of commandments contained in ordinances) so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, making peace between them;

in whom every building having been fitly framed together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord;

(Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

And this until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

For He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son;

Let no one defraud you, delighting in humility and worship of the angels, intruding into things which he has not seen, without a cause being vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who strengthened me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry--

Faithful is the Word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

not a novice, lest being puffed up he may fall into the condemnation of the Devil.

But he must also have a good report from those on the outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among nations, believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

For we brought nothing into the world, and it is clear that we can carry nothing out.

But they who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which plunge men into destruction and perdition.
