Now there were some men from the congregation that was in Antioch, prophets and teachers, including Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen reared with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Indeed therefore these men, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed for Cyprus.

But the majority of the city was divided, and verily there were those with the Jews, and those with the apostles.

And there they were preaching the good-news.

and from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they were delivered to the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled.

And they remained there no little time with the disciples.

And he came to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain faithful Jewish woman, but of a Greek father,

and from there to Philippi, which is a principle city of the district of Macedonia colony. And we were in the same city remaining some days.

Now after passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

But when the Jews of Thessalonica also learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Berea, they came there also, agitating the crowds.

But then straightaway the brothers sent Paul away to go as far as to the sea, but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

Now all the Athenians, and the foreigners who dwell alien there, were at leisure in nothing else, than to tell or to hear something new.

And having departed from there, he went into the house of a certain man named Justus, who worships God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.

And he came to Ephesus and left behind those there, but having entered into the synagogue himself, he discoursed with the Jews.

he said to them, Did ye receive Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.

And there were some sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, seven doing this.

Now when these things were fulfilled, Paul decided in the spirit, after passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, having said, After becoming there, I must also see Rome.

And about that time there developed no small stir about the Way.

And ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this man Paul, having persuaded them, turned away a considerable multitude, saying that there are no gods made by hands.

Indeed therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have a matter against any man, forums are brought, and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse each other.

For we are also in danger to be accused about the uproar today, there being no cause about which we can give account of this commotion.

And having spent three months there, and a conspiracy having developed against him by Jews, intending to go up into Syria, a decision developed to return through Macedonia.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean, and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius a Derbean, and Timothy, and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

And there were considerable lights in the upper floor where we were gathered together.

But we, having gone ahead to the ship, went up to Assos, intending from there to take up Paul, for so it was arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.

And having sailed from there on the next day, we arrived opposite Chios, and the next day we came near to Samos. And having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus.

And there developed considerable weeping of all. And having fallen on Paul's neck, they kissed him much,

And when it came to pass to launch us, after being drawn away from them, after going a straight course, we came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

And having sighted Cyprus, and having left it behind on the left side, we sailed to Syria and came down to Tyre, for there the ship was unloading the merchandise.

And having found disciples (we remained there seven days) who said to Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

And when the men heard, they glorified God, having said to him, Thou see, brother, how many thousands there are of the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealots of the law.

And the whole city was moved, and there developed a running together of the people. And having taken Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and straightaway the doors were shut.

As also the high priest testifies about me, and all the senior council, from whom also having received letters to the brothers in Damascus, I was going to bring bound even those who were there to Jerusalem so that they might be pun

And there happened to me, while going and approaching Damascus about noon, suddenly to flash forth from heaven a great light around me.

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, After rising, go into Damascus, and there it will be told thee about all things that have been assigned for thee to do.

And a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report by all the Jews who dwell there,

And when he said this, there developed a conflict of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the group was divided.

And there developed a great clamor. And some of the scholars of the Pharisees part having risen, they argued vehemently, saying, We find nothing wrong in this man. But if a spirit spoke to him, or a heavenly agent, we should not fi

And there were more than forty who made this conspiracy,

thou being able to learn that there are for me not more than twelve days from which I went up to worship in Jerusalem.

Therefore he says, Let the able men among you, after coming down together, accuse him if there is anything in this man.

But Festus, wanting to lay down a favor to the Jews, having answered Paul, said, Are thou willing, after going up to Jerusalem, to be judged there about these things before me?

For if I am indeed wrong, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die, but if there is nothing of what these men accuse me, no man can give me to them freely. I appeal Caesar.

And as he was remaining there more days, Festus declared to the King the things concerning Paul, saying, There is a certain man who was left behind a prisoner by Felix,

And I, being uncertain of the controversy about this man, asked whether he wants to go to Jerusalem and be judged there about these things.

And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it.

And since the haven was inconvenient to winter in, the majority gave counsel to launch from there also, if somehow they might be able, after arriving at Phoenix, to winter in a haven of Crete, looking toward southwest and northwest

But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon.

And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.

For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

And after being brought down to Syracuse, we remained there three days,

And from there the brothers, who heard these things about us, came for a meeting with us as far as Appius Forum and The Three Taverns, whom, when Paul saw, having expressed thanks to God, he took courage.

who, after examining me, wanted to release me, because there was not one cause of death in me.

For there is no partiality with God.

as it is written, There is no righteous man, not even one.

There is no man who understands. There is no man who seeks God.

All turned away. Together they became useless. There is not a man who does goodness; there is not as much as one.

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

And the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ is for all and upon all those who believe, for there is no distinction.

For the law works wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

For until law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

For this is the word of promise: At this time I will come, and there will be a son by Sarah.

What will we say then? Is there injustice from God? May it not happen!

And it will be in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there they will be called, sons of the living God.

For there is no distinction of a Jew and also of a Greek, for the same Lord is of all men, being rich toward all those who call upon him.

So then also at this present time there has become a remnant according to the selection of grace.

Let every soul be subject to offices of authority that rank higher, for there is no office of authority if not by God, and the offices of authority that are by God, are those that have been instituted.

Therefore there is a need to be subordinate, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience.

For this, Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not murder, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not testify falsely, Thou shall not covet, and if there be any other commandment it is summarized in this saying, in, Thou shall love

And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.

whenever I go to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you while passing through, and there to be helped on the way by you, if first I may be partly satisfied from you.

Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but ye may be thoroughly prepared in the same mind and in the same understanding.

For it was declared to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

I speak shame about you. So there is not among you not even one wise man who will be able to arbitrate between his brother?

Therefore about eating the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one.

For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords,

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

For there must also be factions among you, so that the genuine may become apparent among you.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are varieties of services, and the same Lord.

And there are varieties of functions, but it is the same God who works all in all.

But now of course there are many body-parts, but one body.

so that there would be no schisms in the body, but that the parts would have the same care for each other.

Since there are perhaps, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without significance.

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in an assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

Now if Christ is proclaimed that he has risen from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ risen.

It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

For a great and effective door has opened to me, and yet there are many who are hostile.

And of you who help together by supplication for us (a gift for us from many persons, because of many), so that there may be gratitude about you.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of Lord is, there is liberty.

So that the abundance of those men may also happen for your need, so that there may become equity,

And so that I might not be over exalted by the extraordinariness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, an agent of Satan so that he would buffet me, so that I would not be over exalted.

For what is there which ye were inferior to the other congregations? Except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong.

For I fear lest somehow, having come, I may find you not such as I want, and I may be found by you such as ye do not want, lest somehow there be strifes, envyings, wraths, selfish ambitions, slanderings, whisperings, puffings up, t

which is not another, except there are some who confuse you, and who want to pervert the good-news of the Christ.

There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no bondman nor freeman, there is no male and female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
