And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

And when these things were ended, Paul resolved to pass through Macedonia and Achaia, and to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.

And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.

And there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.

But when the Recorder had quieted the multitude, he said, Men of Ephesus, who is there among men that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the great Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

If then Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against any one, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring their charges against each other.

For we are in danger of being called to answer concerning this days riot, there being no ground on which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater, son of Pyrrhus, a Beroean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

And there were many lamps in the upper room where we had assembled.

And there sat on the window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep; and as Paul was discoursing at great length, he sank down with sleep, and fell from thee third story, and was taken up dead.

And now behold, I go, bound in my spirit, to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me there;

And having come in sight of Cyprus, we passed it on the left, and sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her cargo.

And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; and they told Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.

And while we were staying some days longer, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus;

There went with us also some of the disciples of Caesarea, bringing us to one Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

And they on hearing it glorified God; and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, and they are all zealots for the Law.

And when he had given him leave, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with his hand to the people, and there was a great silence; and he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

as also the highpriest beareth me witness, and all the elderhood; from whom I received letters to the brethren, and was on my way to Damascus to bring those also that were there, bound, to Jerusalem, that they might be punished.

But it came to pass, as I was on my way, and approaching Damascus, that about noon there suddenly shone around me a great light from heaven;

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there thou wilt be told of all which it hath been appointed thee to do.

But one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, well spoken of by all the Jews who dwelt there,

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

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees affirm both.

And there arose a great clamor; and scribes of the party of the Pharisees arose, and contended, saying, We find nothing amiss in this man; but if a spirit hath spoken to him or an angel

And there were more than forty who took this oath together.

But do not thou yield to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves with an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him; and they are now ready, looking for the promise from thee.

having a hope in God, which they themselves also entertain, that there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.

But Festus, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?

If indeed I am an offender, and have done anything deserving death, I refuse not to die; but if there be nothing in the charges which they bring against me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.

And while they were making a stay of some days there, Festus laid the case of Paul before the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix,

And I being at a loss about such questions, asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be put on trial for these matters.

And there the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria about to sail for Italy, put us on board of it.

And as the harbor was not well situated for wintering, the greater part advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.

But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

And after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves this injury and loss.

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

Wherefore I exhort you to take food; for this is for your safety; for there shall not a hair be lost from the head of one of you.

And there were of us in the ship in all two hundred and seventysix souls.

And landing at Syracuse, we stayed there three days;

but to those who are contentious, and disobedient to the truth; but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and indignation.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;

there is none that hath understanding, there is none that diligently seeketh God;

they have all turned aside from the right way, they have become worthless together; there is none that doeth good, not even one.

There is no fear of God before their eyes."

even the righteousness which is of God through faith in Jesus Christ, hath been made manifest to all and for all believers. For there is no distinction.

Seeing there is but one God, who will accept the circumcised as righteous by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

For the Law is the cause of wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

(for all the time before the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not set to ones account when there is no law.

For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good thing; for to desire is present with me, but not to perform that which is good.

I find then that there is a law to me, that when I would do good, evil is present with me.

There is then now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

What then shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!

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

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for one and the same is Lord over all, rich to all that call upon him.

In the same way then at this present time also there is a remnant, according to the election of grace.

And if it is by grace, it is no longer on account of works; otherwise grace ceaseth to be grace; but if it is of works, there is then no grace; otherwise work ceaseth to be work. How is it then?

And thus will all Israel be saved; as it is written, "There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

For in respect to his gifts and his calling, there is no change of purpose with God.

Let every one submit to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority which is not from God: and the authorities which exist have been ordained by God.

And again Isaiah saith: "There shall be the shoot from Jesse, and he that riseth up to rule the gentiles; in him shall the gentiles hope."

But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgment.

For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are dissensions among you.

for ye are yet unspiritual. For while there is among you rivalry and strife, are ye not unspiritual, and walking after the manner of men?

It is everywhere reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the gentiles, that one should have his fathers wife.

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not one that will be able to judge between his brethren?

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

Concerning the eating of the things offered in sacrifice to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

For though there are those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;

yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some, with a conscience directed toward the idol even now, eat of it as a thing offered in sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

For in the first place, when ye come together in assembly of the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it;

for there must be also parties among you, that they who are approved may also become manifest among you.

When ye come together then in the same place, there is no eating of the Lords supper.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit;

and there are diversities of services, but the same Lord;

and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all things in all.

But now there are, indeed, many members, but one body.

that there might be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.

Love never faileth; but whether there are prophesyings, they will come to an end; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will be done away.

And now there abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and not one is without meaning.

If therefore the whole church be assembled in one place, and all be speaking with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

But if all prophesy, and there come in one that is an unbeliever, or unlearned, he is convinced by all, he is searched through by all,

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

But if Christ be preached that he hath risen from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ hath not risen;

All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.

There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.

it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body.

for a door hath been opened to me great and effective, and there are many adversaries.

Having, then, this purpose, did I act with levity? Or in my purposes do I resolve according to the flesh, that with me there should be now yea, yea, and now nay, nay?

For if I make you sorrowful, who is there to make me glad but he that is made sorrowful by me?

but even till this day, when Moses is read, there lieth a veil upon their heart;

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Now therefore perform the doing of it, that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
