For it seems to me absurd, to send a prisoner and not to signify the crimes laid against him."

O king, as I was on the way thither I saw a light from heaven exceeding the splendor of the sun, shining round about me and those that were going with me.

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 an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

and being the first of the resurrection from the dead should bring light to the people and to the Gentiles."

And as he was saying these things in his defence, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning turns thy brain.

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.

And Paul having gathered together a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came out a viper from the heat, and fastened on his hand.

And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery: to whom Paul went in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

God forbid: yea, let God be acknowledged true, though every man be a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, and mightest overcome, when thou judgest.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to obey it in the lusts thereof.

For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are led by the Spirit, do mind spiritual things.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

And David saith, Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompence unto them.

Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and always bow down their back.

But having different gifts, according to the grace conferred upon us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith:

or ministry, let us attend to the ministry: or he that teacheth, on teaching: or he that exhorteth, on exhortation:

he that distributeth, let him do it with integrity: he that presideth, with diligence: he that sheweth mercy, with chearfulness.

Let love be unfeigned. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good;

Let every soul be subject to the powers that are over them: for there is no such power but from God: the powers that are over men, are appointed by God.

And this let us observe, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Let us behave decently as being in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lasciviousness, not in strife and envying.

Let not him, that eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him, that eateth not, censure him that eateth: for God hath received him.

One preferreth some days to others; another esteemeth every day alike. Let every one be fully satisfied in his own mind.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, not to lay a stumbling-block or scandal before a brother.

Let not your liberty then be evil-spoken of: for the kingdom of God consists not in meat and drink;

Let us then pursue peace, and mutual edification.

but let every one of us please our neighbor for his good, to his edification.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise architect I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let every one see to it how he buildeth thereon.

For no one can lay any other foundation, but that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ: and if any build upon this foundation gold,

Let no one deceive himself: if any among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be truly wise.

Therefore let no one glory in men: for all things are yours;

Let a man so account of us, as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Wherefore judge nothing before the time; even until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every one have praise from God.

Wherefore let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavening of sincerity and truth.

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

Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence; and in like manner also the wife to the husband.

But if they have not the gift of continence, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with lust.

(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.

But if the unbeliever depart, let them depart; a brother or a sister is not bound in such cases.

However, as God hath distributed to every man, and as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk: and thus I order in all the churches.

Is any one called that is circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: is any one called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised: for circumcision is nothing,

In the calling in which every one was called, let him continue.

Brethren, in whatever condition every one was when called, let him abide therein with God.

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.

we not power to lead about with us a sister a wife as well as other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him, and were destroyed by serpents: nor murmur,

Wherefore let him, that thinks he standeth, take heed least he fall.

Let no one seek his own only, but every one another's benefit.

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.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of this bread and drink of this cup:

and if any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together to your condemnation. And as to other things, I will set them in order when I come.

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn aside after dumb idols, just as ye were led: wherefore,

Charity never faileth: but as to prophecies, they shall be abolished; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be laid aside.

But when that which is perfect shall come, then that which is defective shall be laid aside.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned as a child: but when I became a man, I laid aside childish things.

Wherefore let him, that speaketh in an unknown tongue, pray that he may interpret.

What is then to be done, my brethren? when ye come together, if any of you hath a psalm, a doctrine, a tongue, a revelation, an interpretation,---let all be done for edification.

And if any one speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at most by three, and that by turns; and let one interpret.

But if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly; and let him speak to himself and to God.

And let but two or three of the prophets speak, and the others judge.

And if any thing be revealed to another sitting by, let the first have done speaking before the other begins.

Let your women be silent in your assemblies: for it is not permitted to them to speak, but they are to be in subjection, as the law saith.

And if they would learn any thing, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it does not become women to speak in a public assembly.

If any one seem to be a prophet, or acted by the Spirit, let him acknowlege that what I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

But if any will be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

but let all things be done decently and in order.

If, to speak as a man, I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage have I, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. ---

Upon the first day of the week let every one of you set apart something, putting it into the treasury, according as he is prospered: that there may be no need of collections, when I come.

Let no one therefore despise him: but forward him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. As to our brother Apollos,

and let all your affairs be carried on in love.

If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be made a curse.

among whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, doth not shine unto them:

For God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, hath shined into our hearts, to reflect the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

For our short and light affliction is working out for us an infinite and eternal weight of glory, as we aim not at the things which are visible, but invisible:

Be not unsuitably connected with infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? or what communion hath light with darkness?

Having therefore, my beloved, these promises, let us purify ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Let every one give as he chuses in his own heart; not with reluctance, or constraint: for God loveth a chearful giver.

Do ye look at things according to the outward appearance? If any one is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again of himself, that as he is Christ's, so we also are Christ's.

But let such a one know this, that as we are in word by letters, when absent, such also shall we be in fact when present.

But let him, that glorieth, glory in the Lord.

And no wonder: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

I say again, let no one think me foolish herein; but if they do, yet bear with my weakness, that I also may boast a little.

and I was let down by the wall through a window in a basket, and so escaped his hands.

But tho' we or an angel from heaven should preach to you any other gospel than what we have preached to you; let him be accursed.

I say it again, if any one preach to you any other gospel than what ye have received, let him be accursed.

For ye have heard of my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I outragiously persecuted the church of God, and laid it waste:

But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain.

So that the law was our guide to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

But let every one try his own work, and then he will have matter of glorying in himself alone, and not in another.

And let him, that is instructed in the word, communicate in all good things to him that instructeth.

And let us not be weary in doing good: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
