"Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;

and said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

He kneeled down, and shouted out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.

and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."

Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,

He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,

who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.

and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your father.'

He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.

When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to proclaim the Good News to them.

They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.

He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged."

But Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.

at noon, O King, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.

But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which I will reveal to you;

When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."

concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse.

What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Happy is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be credited to them.

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

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

The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

May it never be. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

For he who has died has been freed from sin.

For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be.

Do you not 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 thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.

Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known coveting, unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."

But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made you free from the law of sin and of death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

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

For this is a word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."

even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock that will make them fall; and no one who believes in him will be put to shame."

and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

But as it is written, No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who love him.

Flee sexual immorality. "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He does not sin. Let them marry.

Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

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

There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

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

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."

while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?

to reveal his Son to me, that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,

But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
