Now Peter and John were going up to the temple together at the hour of prayer, which is the ninth hour.

For Moses said unto the fathers, the Lord your God will raise up a prophet unto you, of your brethren, like me, Him shall ye hear in all things whatever He shall say unto you;

by what means he is cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, but whom God hath raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole.

And Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.

Then Peter said unto her, Wherefore have ye agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of those, who have been burying thy husband, now at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

And immediately she fell down at his feet and expired: and the young men coming in found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

Pharaoh's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son.

---This is that Moses who said unto the children of Israel, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear."

And he arose and went; and behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, and her high-treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,

And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See here is water, what hindereth me from being baptized?

Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias, and he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

and here too he hath authority from the chief priests to apprehend all that call upon thy name.

And it happened, about the same time, that she fell sick and died: and when they had washed her they laid her out in an upper chamber.

But Peter, putting them all out, kneeled down and prayed: and then turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

And giving her his hand he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.

He evidently saw in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius!

On the morrow, while they were on their journey, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.

And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, when behold a man stood before me in bright raiment,

Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast done well that thou art come. And now we are all here present before God, to hear all the things which God hath charged thee with to us.

And they said to her, Thou art mad: but she confidently affirmed that it was so. Then said they, It is his angel.

Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an understanding man: who calling for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.

And on the next sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the word of God.

And after much debate, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago, God, who was among us, chose that the Gentiles should hear by my mouth the word of the gospel, and believe.

and they wrote by their hand, as follows, The apostles and elders and brethren here to the Gentile brethren which are in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, send greeting.

And when she was baptized and her family, she requested us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and lodge there. And she constrained us.

Now as we were going to the place of prayer, there met us a young woman that had a spirit of divination, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

And this she did for many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.

And he came out that instant. And when her masters saw, that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the court to the magistrates.

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

(Now all the Athenians, and strangers sojourning among them, spent their time in nothing else, but to tell or to hear something new.)

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some laughed at it: and others said, We will hear thee again concerning this matter.

And ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but in almost all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and perverted many people, saying, that they are no gods which are made by hands.

So that we are not only in danger of this, that the business we follow will come to nothing; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised; and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the whole world worshippeth.

What then is to be done? The people must necessarily meet together; for they will hear that thou art come.

Do this therefore, which we advise thee. Here are four men with us, that have a vow upon them: take these and be purified with them,

Brethren, and Fathers, hear now my apology to you,

And they that were with me saw the light indeed, and were affrighted; but they did not hear the voice of Him that spake to me.

And he said, The God of our Fathers hath before appointed thee to know his will, and to see the just One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.

And he called two of the centurions to him, and said, Get ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by the third hour of the night.

I will hear thee, when thine accusers are also come. And he ordered him to be kept in Herod's palace.

But that I may not trespass upon thee too far, I beg thou wouldst hear us a few words with thy wonted goodness.

who ought to have been here before thee, and make good their charge, if they had any thing against me.

Then Agrippa said to Festus, I should be willing to hear the man myself. And he said, thou shalt hear him to-morrow.

And Festus said, "King Agrippa and all that are here present with us, ye see this man, concerning whom all the Jews have applied to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out, that he ought not to live.

especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions which are among the Jews; wherefore I intreat thee to hear me patiently.

And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

wherefore I exhort you to take some nourishment, for this is necessary for your safety: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.

But we would willingly hear from thee what thou thinkest: for as to this sect, we know that it is every where spoken against.

saying, Go to this people and say, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is stupified,

and they hear heavily with their ears, and have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

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

For the promise made to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of faith:

For a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband die, she is discharged from the law of her husband.

Therefore while her husband is living, she shall be called an adulteress if she become another man's: but if her husband be dead, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man's.

and not to her only; but Rebecca also being with child by our father Isaac,

(when the children were not yet born, nor had done either good or evil, that the purpose of God according to his choice might abide, not on account of works, but of Him that calleth,) it was said to her, the elder shall serve the younger:

As He saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.

But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

(according as it is written, God hath given them a spirit of slumber, that their eyes could not see and their ears could not hear,) even unto this day.

that ye receive her in the Lord as becometh saints, and assist her in whatever affair she may have need of you; for she also hath been a helper of many others, as well as of myself.

God forbid! What! know ye not that he who is joined to an harlot is one body with her? for these two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

Nevertheless to prevent whoredoms, let every one have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband; and in like manner also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

But those that are married, not I command, but the Lord, that the wife be not separated from her husband;

(but if she separate, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and that the husband put not away his wife.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord, If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she like to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And if any wife hath an unbelieving husband, and he like to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin: she, that is unmarried, careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she, that is married, is in care about the things of the world, and how she may please her husband.

But if any one think that he acts unbecomingly towards his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and that it ought to be so, let him do what he will; he doth not sin: let them marry.

So that he, who giveth her in marriage, doth well; but he, that giveth her not in marriage, doth better.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth: but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord:

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoureth man her head; for it is even all one as if she were shaved.

For if a woman be not covered, she may as well be shorn: but if it be shameful to a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For this reason ought the woman to have power on her head, because of the angels.

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a disgrace to him?

but if a woman have long hair it is a glory to her; because the hair was given her as for a veil.

For first when ye come together in the church, I hear there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

And why are we in danger every hour?

to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

Now as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he is to be lord of all:

So that thou art no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, an heir also of God through Christ.

Tell me, you that are so desirous to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

a rock, is expressive of mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage with her children.

For it is written, Rejoice thou barren, that for a while didst not bear, break forth and cry aloud for joy, thou that didst not travail with child; for many more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath an husband."

But what saith the scripture? "Cast out the servant and her son: for the son of the servant shall not inherit with the son of the free-woman."

Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and let the wife reverence her husband.

But that ye also may know my affairs, and what I am doing here, Tychicus a beloved brother, and a faithful minister in the Lord, shall make all known to you: whom I have sent to you,

Only behave worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of you, that ye stand firm in one Spirit, striving together as with one soul for the saith of the gospel;

having the same conflict as ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

and all the saints here salute you, but especially those of Cesar's household.

together with Onesimus a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will inform you of all things here.

But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

For we hear that there are some among you that walk disorderly, doing no work themselves, but very busy in the affairs of others.

likewise that women dress themselves in decent apparel with modesty and prudence, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly garments;

Take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this, thou wilt both save thyself and those that hear thee.

For the scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn:" and, "The workman is worthy of his hire."

But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that by me the gospel might be fully spread, and that all the nations might hear: and so I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds.

Therefore, as the holy Ghost saith, "To-day if ye will hear his voice,
