and there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria; He purposed to return through Macedonia.

and there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, fallen into a deep sleep. And as Paul declared, he was the more overcome with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

When he was come up again, he brake bread, and tasted, and communed a long while: even till the morning, and so departed.

When he was come to us unto Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

and how I kept back nothing that was profitable: but that I have showed you, and taught you openly and at home in your houses,

The next day, we that were of Paul's company, departed and came unto Caesarea. And we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven deacons, and abode with him.

When he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his hands and feet and said, "Thus saith the holy ghost, 'So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.'"

And all the city was moved, and the people swarmed together. And they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple, and forthwith the doors were shut to.

As they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the high captain of the soldiers, that all Jerusalem was moved.

Then the captain came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and demanded what he was, and what he had done.

And when he came unto a grece, it fortuned that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people:

When he had given him licence, Paul stood on the steps, and beckoned with the hand unto the people, and there was made a great silence. And he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:

And he said, "I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia: nevertheless yet brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, and informed diligently in the law of the fathers, and was fervent minded to Godward, as ye all are this same day,

And it fortuned that as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus, about noon, that suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me,

And when I saw nothing for the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand of them that were with me, and came into Damascus.

And now: why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptised, and wash away thy sins, in calling on the name of the Lord.'

And it fortuned, when I was come again to Jerusalem and prayed in the temple, that I was in a trance;

And when the blood of thy witness Stephen was shed, I also stood by, and consented unto his death and kept the raiment of them that slew him.'

And the high captain answered, "With a great sum obtained I this freedom." And Paul said, "I was freeborn."

Then straightway departed from him they which should have examined him. And the high captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman: because he had bound him.

On the morrow he loosed him from his bonds, desiring to know the certainty for what cause he was accused of the Jews, and commanded the high priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul, and set him before them.

Then said Paul, "I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest. For it is written, 'Thou shalt not curse the ruler of thy people.'"

And when he had so said, there arose a debate between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.

When day was come, certain of the Jews gathered themselves together, and made a vow saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: Then came I with soldiers, and rescued him, and perceived that he was a Roman.

There perceived I that he was accused of questions of their law: but was not guilty of any thing worthy of death, or of bonds.

Afterward, when it was showed me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent him straightway to thee: and gave commandment to his accusers, if they had ought against him, to tell it unto thee. Farewell."

Then the soldiers as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

When the deputy had read the letter, he asked of what country he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia,

The Jews likewise affirmed, saying that it was even so.

And after a certain days came Felix, and his wife Drusilla which was a Jewess, and called forth Paul, and heard him of the faith which is toward Christ.

When Festus was come into the province, after three days, he ascended from Caesarea unto Jerusalem.

When he was come, the Jews which were come from Jerusalem came about him and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul: which they could not prove

But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus which was dead; whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and were entered into the council house with the captains and chief men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth,

"My living of a child, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews:

"And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme: and was yet more mad upon them, and persecuted them even unto strange cities.

"Wherefore king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

The king knoweth of these things, before whom I speak freely: neither think I that any of these things are hidden from him. For this thing was not done in a corner.

When it was concluded that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, an under-captain of Caesar's soldiers.

and with much work sailed beyond it, and came unto a place called Good Port, nigh whereunto was a city called Lasea.

When much time was spent and sailing was now jeopardous, because also that we had overlong fasted, Paul put them in remembrance,

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, many took counsel to depart thence, if by any means they might attain to Phoenix and there to winter, which is a haven of Crete, and serveth to the southwest, and northwest wind.

And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the wind, we let her go and drave with the weather.

When at the last neither sun nor star in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay upon us, all hope that we should be saved, was then taken away.

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God that so it shall be even as it was told me;

But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were carried in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that there appeared some country unto them,

When it was day they knew not the land, but they spied a certain haven with a bank, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners: lest any of them, when he had swum out, should flee away.

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the isle was called Melita.

Howbeit, they waited when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly. But after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

In the same quarters, the chief man of the isle whose name was Publius, had a lordship: the same received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

When this was done, others also which had diseases in the isle, came and were healed:

After three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose badge was Castor and Pollux.

And when he came to Rome, the under-captain delivered the prisoners to the chief captain of the host: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with one Soldier that kept him.

And it fortuned, after three days, that Paul called the chief of the Jews together. And when they were come, he said unto them, "Men and brethren, though I have committed no thing against the people, or laws of our fathers: yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

But when the Jews cried contrary, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar. Not because I had ought to accuse my people of.

that make mention of his son, the which was begotten unto him of the seed of David, as pertaining to the flesh:

And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burnt in their lusts, one on another, among themselves. And man with man wrought filthiness: and received in themselves the reward of their error, as it was according.

Surely, very much. First: unto them was committed the word of God.

For what saith the scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."

Came this blessedness then upon the circumcised or upon the uncircumcised? We say verily how that faith was reckoned to Abraham, for righteousness.

How was it reckoned? In the time of circumcision? Or in the time before he was circumcised? Not in time of circumcision: but when he was yet uncircumcised.

And that he might be the father of the circumcised: not because they are circumcised only: but because they walk also in the steps of that faith, that was in our father Abraham before the time of circumcision.

For the promise that he should be heir of the world was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law: but through the righteousness which cometh of faith.

Which Abraham, contrary to hope, believed in hope: that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, "So shall thy seed be."

And he fainted not in the faith, nor yet considered his own body, which was now dead, even when he was almost a hundred years old: neither yet that Sara was past childbearing.

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief: But was made strong in the faith, and gave honour to God,

full certified that what he had promised, that he was able to make good.

And therefore was it reckoned to him for righteousness.

It is not written for him only, that it was reckoned to him for righteousness:

Which was delivered for our sins, and rose again for to justify us.

For even unto the time of the law was sin in the world: but sin was not regarded, as long as there was no law:

But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ.

But the law, in the meantime, entered in that sin should increase. Neverthelater, where abundance of sin was, there was more plenteousness of grace.

We are buried with him by baptism for to die: That likewise as Christ was raised up from death by the glory of the father: even so we also should walk in a new life.

But sin took an occasion by the means of the commandment, and wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For verily, without the law sin was dead.

I once lived without law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I was dead.

And the very same commandment which was ordained unto life, was found to be unto me an occasion of death.

Was that, then, which is good made death unto me? God forbid. Nay, sin was death unto me, that it might appear: how that sin by the means of that which is good, had wrought death in me: that sin which is under the commandment, might be out of measure sinful.

For what the law could not do, inasmuch as it was weak because of the flesh - that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh;

Which are the Israelites, to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants and the law that was given and the service of God, and the promises,

Neither was it so with her only: but also when Rebecca was with child by one, I mean by our father Isaac,

yer the children were born, when they had neither done good neither bad - that the purpose of God, which is by election, might stand - it was said unto her, not by the reason of works, but by grace of the caller,

As he saith in Hosea, "I will call them my people which were not my people: and her beloved which was not beloved."

And, "It shall come to pass, in the place where it was said unto them, 'ye are not my people,' that there shall be called the children of the living God."

For if thou wast cut out of a natural wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature in a true olive tree: how much more shall the natural branches be graffed in their own olive tree again?

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who was his counselor?

And I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.

So have I enforced myself to preach the gospel: not where Christ was named, lest I should have built on another man's foundation,

but as it is written, "To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that heard not, shall understand."

To him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and preaching of Jesus Christ, in uttering of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began,

To the same God, which alone is wise, be praise through Jesus Christ for ever Amen. {To the Romans. Sent from Corinth by Phoebe, she that was the minister unto the congregation at Cenchreae}

even as the testimony of Jesus Christ was confirmed in you:

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Either were ye baptised in the name of Paul?

Neither showed I myself that I knew anything among you save Jesus Christ, even the same that was crucified.

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

Let every man abide in the same state wherein he was called.
