And when he was come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many serious complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among my own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

Who knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most strict sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

Thus as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them who journeyed with me.

Delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send you,

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them who are sanctified by faith that is in me.

That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should proclaim light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

For the king knows of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

And when we had put to sea from there, we sailed close to Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

And because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to depart from there also, if by any means they might arrive at Phoenix, and there to winter; which is a haven of Crete, and opens toward the southwest and northwest.

But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, you should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

Therefore I pray you to take some food: for this is for your health: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.

But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

And from there we set a course, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

And from there, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as the Appii Forum, and The Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For in it is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and deity; so that they are without excuse:

But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

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

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.

Neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.

For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband dies, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she is married to another man.

Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that you should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

But now we are delivered from the law, being dead to that in which we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

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

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

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

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also bring to life your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.

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

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

But the righteousness which is of faith speaks thus, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

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

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

For who makes you to differ from another? and what have you that you did not receive? now if you did receive it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?

And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

But them that are outside God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

Are you bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

For though I am free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

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

The first man is of the earth, made of dust: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?

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

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Therefore from now on know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet from now on know we him no more.

Therefore come out from among them, and be you separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his cunning, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

And when I was present with you, and in want, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them who desire occasion; that when they glory, they may be found even as we.

For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me.

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God our Father:

I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

For before certain men came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from mount Sinai, which brings forth to bondage, which is Hagar.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.

From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Which he performed in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
