Then indeed others cried out, some other things; for the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together.

But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for two hours' time, Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!

And a certain young man named Eutychus was sitting on the window sill, Paul reasoning for a longer time, being overborne by sleep, he fell down from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

And when they had come to him, he said to them, You know how I was with you at all times, from the first day I arrived in Asia,

and how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but have shown you and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

And there was much weeping of all, and falling on the neck of Paul, they ardently kissed him,

And it happened when it was time to sail, we having been torn away from them, running direct we came to Cos; and on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

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.

But when it was time to finish the days, going out, we traveled on. And they with all the women and children went with us as far as outside the city. And we kneeled down on the shore and prayed.

And all the city was moved, and the people ran together. And laying hands on Paul, they drew him outside of the temple. And immediately the doors were shut.

And as they were seeking to kill him, the news came to the chiliarch of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

Then going near, the chiliarch laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains. And he demanded who he was and what he had done.

And when he came on the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the crowd.

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?

And now what do you intend? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning and beating those who believed on You throughout the synagogues.

And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was poured out, I also was standing by and consenting to his death, and holding the garments of those who killed him.

And the chiliarch answered, With a great sum I bought this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was even born free.

Then immediately, those being about to examine him stood away from him. And the chiliarch also was afraid, fully knowing that he was a Roman, and that he had bound him.

On the next day, he desiring to know with certainty why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their sanhedrin to appear. And bringing Paul down, he set him among them.

Then Paul said, I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest; for it is written, "You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people."

And when he had said this, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.

This man was taken by the Jews and would have been killed by them. Then I came with an army and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.

And it being revealed to me that a plot against the man was about to be executed by the Jews, I immediately sent him to you, commanding his accusers also to say before you what they had against him. Farewell.

Then, indeed, taking up Paul, as it was commanded them, the soldiers brought him by night to Antipatris.

And when the governor had read the letter, he asked what province he was from. And when he understood that he was from Cilicia,

Then after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

about whom, when I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring judgment against him.

And because I was perplexed about this question, I asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and be judged there about these matters.

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.

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

Then having obtained help from God, I stand until this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said was going to happen;

whether the Christ was liable to suffer, whether first by a resurrection of the dead He was going to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.

For the king understands about these things, to whom I speak, even being bold of speech. For I am persuaded that not any of these things are hidden from him, nothing. For the doing of this was not in a corner.

And when it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' cohort.

And boarding a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail alongside Asian places, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, being with us.

And coasting along with difficulty, we came to a place named Fair Havens, near which was a city, Lasea.

And much time having been used up, and the voyage already being dangerous, because the Fast was now already past, Paul warned them,

But the centurion was rather persuaded by the helmsman and the shipmaster, than by the things spoken by Paul.

And neither sun nor stars appearing in many days, and no small tempest pressing hard, now all hope that we would be saved was taken away.

Therefore, men, be of good cheer, for I believe God, that it will be so, according to the way it was told me.

And until day was about to come, Paul begged all to take food, saying, This is the fourteenth day that you continued waiting without food, having taken nothing.

And the mind of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out and escape.

And being saved, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

But they expected him to be about to become inflamed, or to fall down dead suddenly, But over much time expecting and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

In the quarters about that place were lands to the chief of the island, whose name was Publius. Welcoming us, he lodged us courteously three days.

And it happened the father of Publius was lying down, suffering fevers and dysentery; to whom Paul entered in, and praying and laying on his hands, he healed him.

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

who, examining me, were of a mind to let me go because there was no cause of death in me.

But the Jews speaking against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not as having anything to accuse my nation.

For the heart of this people was fattened, and they have heard with their ears dully; and they closed their eyes; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

about His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh,

who was marked out the Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead;

But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that oftentimes I purposed to come to you, and was kept back until the present; that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other nations.

Because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were thankful. But they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has a boast; but not before God.

For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."

Is this blessedness then on the circumcision only, or on the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

How then was it reckoned? Being in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For he who beyond hope believed on hope for him to become the father of many nations (according to that which was spoken, "So your seed shall be").

He did not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

and being fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was also able to perform.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for him alone that it was imputed to him,

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

For the married woman was bound by law to the living husband. But if the husband is dead, she is set free from the law of her husband.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of lust. For apart from law sin was dead.

For I was alive without the law once. But when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

And the commandment, which was to life, was found to be death to me.

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

For the creation was not willingly subjected to vanity, but because of Him who subjected it on hope

For I myself was wishing to be accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

it was said to her, "The elder shall serve the younger."

And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them. "You are not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God."

Why? Because it was not of faith, but as it were by the works of the Law. For they stumbled at that Stumbling-stone;

But Isaiah is very bold and says, "I was found by those who did not seek Me, I became known to those who did not ask after Me."

Yea, so I have been eager to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation;

but as it is written, "To whom nothing was said about Him, they shall see. And they who have not heard shall understand."

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you;

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

And I was with you in weakness and in fear, and in much trembling.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

Was any called having been circumcised? Do not be uncircumcised. Was anyone called in uncircumcision? Do not be circumcised.

Let each one remain in the calling in which he was called.

Each in whatever way he was called, brothers, in this remain with God.

Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? It was written for us, so that he who plows should plow in hope, and so that he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.
