But when some were hardened and did not believe, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

But answering the evil spirit said, Jesus I know, and I comprehend Paul, but who are you?

And you see and hear that, not only at Ephesus, but almost all Asia, this Paul having persuaded, he has perverted a huge crowd, saying that those which are made with hands are no gods.

And not only is this dangerous to us, our share coming into dispute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted for nothing, and her magnificence is also about to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.

But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for two hours' time, Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!

But if you ask anything concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

and how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but have shown you and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

But none of these things move me, neither do I count my life dear to myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus Christ, to testify fully the gospel of the grace of God.

But when it was time to finish the days, going out, we traveled on. And they with all the women and children went with us as far as outside the city. And we kneeled down on the shore and prayed.

Then Paul answered, What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

taking them, be purified with them, and be at expense for them, so that they may shave their heads. And all may know that what they have been told about you is nothing, but you yourself also walk orderly and keep the Law.

But Paul said, I am a man, a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no small city. And I beseech you, allow me to speak to the people.

And they who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid. But they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.

And the chiliarch answered, With a great sum I bought this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was even born free.

But when Paul saw that the one part were Sadducees and the other part Pharisees, he cried out in the sanhedrin, Men! Brothers! I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee! I am being judged because of the hope and resurrection of the dead.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

And there arose a great cry. And the scribes who were on the Pharisees' side arose and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

Now therefore you, with the sanhedrin, inform the chiliarch that he bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you would inquire something more perfectly regarding him. And we are ready to put him to death before he comes near.

But do not yield to them, for there are more than forty men of them lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves with an oath that they will neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. And now they are ready, looking for a promise from you.

But that I not hinder you further, I beseech you to hear us briefly in your fairness.

But the chiliarch Lysias came with much force, taking him away out of our hands,

But the governor motioning to him to speak, Paul answered; Understanding you as being a judge of this nation many years, I cheerfully defend myself as to the things concerning myself.

But I confess this to you, that after the Way which they call heresy, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things that are written in the Law and in the Prophets.

And having heard these things, Felix put them off, knowing more accurately of the Way, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch has come down, I will examine the things concerning you.

And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and the Judgment to come, Felix trembled and answered, Go for this time, but taking time later, I will call for you.

But after two years Felix welcomed a successor, Porcius Festus. And wishing to show a favor to the Jews, Felix left Paul bound.

But Festus, wanting to please the Jews, answered Paul and said, Will you go up to Jerusalem and be judged there before me about these things?

But Paul said, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you very well know.

For if I am an offender or have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is nothing of which these accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.

but they had certain questions about their own demon-worship, and about a certain Jesus dying, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

But Paul having appealed to be reserved to the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be held until I might send him to Caesar.

But I had perceived nothing he had committed worthy of death, and that he himself has appealed to Augustus, I determined to send him,

which I also did in Jerusalem. And I shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests. And they being put to death, I cast a vote.

But rise and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of what you saw, and in what I shall appear to you;

But to those first in Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judea, and to the nations, I made known the command to repent and to turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance

But he said, Not to insanity, most noble Festus, but I speak words of truth and sanity.

And Agrippa said to Paul, Do you persuade me to be a Christian in but a little?

And Paul said, I would pray to God, both in a little and in much, that not only you, but also all hearing me today to become as I also am, except for these bonds.

And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, and he put us on it.

saying, Men, I perceive that this voyage is about to be with much harm and loss, and not only much cargo and of the ship, but also of our souls.

But the centurion was rather persuaded by the helmsman and the shipmaster, than by the things spoken by Paul.

But not long after, a stormy wind called Euroclydon beat down on it.

And the ship being seized, and not being able to beat against the wind, giving way we were borne along.

And running under an islet being called Clauda, we hardly were able to become masters of the boat;

But there being much fasting, then standing up in their midst, Paul said, O men, being obedient to me you ought not to have set sail from Crete, and to have come by this harm and loss.

But we must fall on a certain island.

But when the fourteenth night came, we being carried about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors thought that they drew near some country.

But the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and lowering the boat into the sea, pretending to be about to cast out anchors from the prow,

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

And when day came, they did not recognize the land. But they discovered a certain bay with a beach, into which they were minded, if they were able, to drive the ship.

And coming on a place between two seas, they drove the vessel. And indeed the prow sticking fast, it remained unmovable. But the stern was broken with the violence of the waves.

But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, kept them from their purpose and commanded those who could swim, to throw themselves overboard, to go out on the land.

But they expected him to be about to become inflamed, or to fall down dead suddenly, But over much time expecting and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

And when we came into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the camp commander. But Paul was allowed to dwell by himself, with a soldier guarding him.

But the Jews speaking against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not as having anything to accuse my nation.

But we think it right to hear from you what you think. For truly as concerning this sect, it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere.

But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that oftentimes I purposed to come to you, and was kept back until the present; that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other nations.

Because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were thankful. But they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

who, knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but have pleasure in those practicing them.

But know that the judgment of God is according to truth on those who practice such things.

But according to your hardness and your impenitent heart, do you treasure up wrath for yourself in a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

But to those who indeed disobeying the truth out of self-seeking, and obeying unrighteousness, will be anger and wrath,

But He will give glory, honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

For circumcision truly profits if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

Let it not be! But let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, "That You might be justified in Your sayings, and will overcome when You are judged."

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who lays on wrath? (I speak as a man.)

And not rather, (as we are wrongly accused, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do bad things that good may come? Their condemnation is just.

But we know that whatever things the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be under judgment before God,

But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;

Then where is the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith.

Do we then make the Law void through faith? Let it not be! But we establish the Law.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has a boast; but not before God.

But to him working, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.

But to him not working, but believing on Him justifying the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

How then was it reckoned? Being in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

and a father of circumcision to those not of the circumcision only, but also to those walking by the steps of the faith of our father Abraham during uncircumcision.

For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Therefore it is of faith so that it might be according to grace; for the promise to be made sure to all the seed, not only to that which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

He did not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

but for us also to whom it is to be imputed, to the ones believing on Him who has raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

And not only this, but we glory in afflictions also, knowing that afflictions work out patience,

But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

And not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is the type of Him who was to come;

but the free gift shall not be also like the offense. For if by the offense of the one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace; which is of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

And the free gift shall not be as by one having sinned; (for indeed the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses to justification.

But the Law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,

But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

For in that He died, He died to sin once; but in that He lives, He lives to God.

Likewise count yourselves also to be truly dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Do not yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God, as one alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law, but under grace? Let it not be!

But thanks be to our God that you were the slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

But now, being made free from sin, and having become slaves to God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For the married woman was bound by law to the living husband. But if the husband is dead, she is set free from the law of her husband.
