What is it therefore? Certainly the multitude needs to get together, for they will hear that thou have come.

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, After rising, go into Damascus, and there it will be told thee about all things that have been assigned for thee to do.

And he said, The God of our fathers appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous man, and to hear a voice from his mouth,

because thou will be a witness for him to all men of the things that thou have seen and heard.

And I saw him saying to me, Hurry and depart in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not accept thy testimony about me.

And he said to me, Depart, because I will send thee far away to Gentiles.

he said, I will hear thee when thine accusers also will arrive. And he commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.

from whom thou will be able, having examined him, to learn about all these things of which we accuse him.

Now Felix, having heard these things, having known more precisely the things about the Way, he deferred them, having said, When Lysias the chief captain comes down, I will determine the things toward you.

And as he discoursed about righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment going to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, Go now, and having a convenient time, I will summon thee.

Then Festus, when he conferred with the council, answered, Thou have appealed Caesar, to Caesar thou will go.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I also want to hear the man myself. And tomorrow, he says, thou will hear him.

But arise, and stand upon thy feet, for I appeared to thee for this, to appoint thee an assistant and a witness both of things that thou saw, and of the things that I will make visible to thee,

And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.

Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.

Therefore I encourage you to take of food, for this is for your safety. For not a hair will fall from the head of one of you.

saying, Go thou to this people, and say, Hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.

Be it known to you therefore, that the salvation of God was sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

pleading, if somehow now at last I will have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith for faith, just as it is written, And the righteous man will live from faith.

And think thou this, O man who judge those who do such things and do the same, that thou will escape the judgment of God?

who will render to each man according to his works,

For as many as have sinned without law will also be destroyed without law, and as many as have sinned in law will be judged by law.

For the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law will be made righteous.

and know his will, and approve the things that are significant, being instructed out of the law.

If therefore a man of uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the law, will not his uncircumcision be considered circumcision?

And the man of natural uncircumcision who fulfills the law, will judge thee, a transgressor of law through a document and circumcision.

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the assurance of God ineffective?

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous inflicting wrath? (I speak according to a man.)

May it not happen! Otherwise how will God judge the world?

Because from works of law no flesh will be made right before him, for through law is knowledge of sin.

since God is one, who will make the man of circumcision righteous from faith, and the man of uncircumcision through faith.

What then will we say Abraham, our father according to flesh, to have found?

Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be.

For scarcely for a righteous man will some man die, indeed perhaps for the good man some man would even dare to die.

Much more then, now having been made righteous by his blood, we will be saved from the wrath through him.

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

For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.

What will we say then? We continue in sin so that grace may abound?

May it not happen! How will we who died to sin, still live in it?

For if we have become co-planted in the likeness of his death, then we will also be of the resurrection.

And if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

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

So then, of the living husband, she will be called an adulteress if she becomes to another man, but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, for her not to be an adulteress having become to another man.

What will we say then? The law is sin? May it not happen! Yet I did not know sin except through law. For likewise I would not have known lust, if the law did not say, Thou shall not covet.

For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, for to will is present in me, but to do the good, I find not.

I am a wretched man. Who will rescue me out of the body of this death?

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

For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.

Because the creation itself will also be freed from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

What then will we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

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

Who will accuse against the chosen of God? God is he who makes righteous.

Who is he who will condemn? It is Christ who died, but more, who also was raised up, who also is at the right hand of God, who also appeals for us.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or restriction, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

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

nor, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children, rather, In Isaac a seed will be called for thee.

For this is the word of promise: At this time I will come, and there will be a son by Sarah.

it was said to her, The older will serve the younger.

What will we say then? Is there injustice from God? May it not happen!

For he says to Moses, I will be merciful to whom I may be merciful, and I will be compassionate to whomever I may be compassionate.

So then he is merciful to whom he will, and whom he will he hardens.

Thou will say to me therefore, Why does he still find fault? For who has resisted his purpose?

Rather, O man, who are thou answering back to God? No, will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did thou make me this way?

As also he says in Hosea, I will call those not my people, my people, and her who was not beloved, beloved.

And it will be in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there they will be called, sons of the living God.

And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved.

Since he is completing and finishing quickly a matter in righteousness, because a matter that has been cut short upon the earth, Lord will perform.

What will we say then? That the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness from faith.

just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

For Moses writes in the righteousness from the law, that the man that does them will live in them.

But the righteousness from faith says thus: Thou should not say in thy heart, Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down)

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

that if thou will confess with thy mouth, Lord Jesus, and will believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou will be saved.

For the scripture says, Every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

For every man, whoever may call upon the name of Lord will be saved.

How then will they call on whom they have not believed? And how will they believe of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without preaching?

And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim good news of peace, of those who proclaim good news of good things.

But I say, did Israel, no, not know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy toward a non-nation. Toward a foolish nation, I will make you angry.

And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive tree,

Thou will therefore say, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.

for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare thee.

Behold therefore the goodness and the severity of God. Indeed toward those who fell, severity, but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness, otherwise thou too will be cut off.

And also those, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

For if thou were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.

And this is the covenant from me to them when I will take away their sins.

Or who first gave to him, and it will be repaid to him?

And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind, for ye to approve what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says Lord.

Therefore if thine enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him to drink. For by doing this thou will heap coals of fire upon his head.

So that he who resists the office of authority has opposed the ordinance of God, and those who have opposed will receive condemnation to themselves.

For rulers are not a source of fear to the good works, but to the evil. And do thou desire not to fear the office of authority? Do what is good, and thou will have praise from it.

Who are thou who criticizes the servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

But why do thou criticize thy brother? Or also why do thou disdain thy brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

For it is written, I live, says Lord, that every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God.

So then each of us will give account about himself to God.

and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.

And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.
