But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."

When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

Now, brothers, I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

came to me, and standing by me said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight!' In that very hour I looked up at him.

They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice, and said, "Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn't fit to live!"

When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?"

A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, "We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let's not fight against God!"

The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, "Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome."

seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.

In the temple they didn't find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.

Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"

For if I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I don't refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!"

To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction, before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;

"Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;

The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.

After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.

When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,

For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"

For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

You are puffed up, and didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

and those who weep, as though they didn't weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn't rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn't possess;

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are profitable. "All things are lawful for me," but not all things build up.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn't raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;

For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,

For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different "good news", which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.

I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don't know, or whether out of the body, I don't know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven.

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

Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
