But when Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If therefore indeed it were some crime or evil reckless deed, O ye Jews, I would have tolerated you according to the matter.

But if it is an issue about a word and names and the law from you, look ye yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things.

But all the Greeks, having taken Sosthenes the synagogue ruler, were beating him in front of the judgment seat. And Gallio was not going to judge, even of these things.

But Paul, who still remained considerable days with the brothers, having separated, sailed away to Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shaved his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow.

And he came to Ephesus and left behind those there, but having entered into the synagogue himself, he discoursed with the Jews.

but separated from them, having said, I must definitely keep the coming feast at Jerusalem, but I will return again to you, God willing. And he launched from Ephesus.

And this man began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside, and expounded to him the way of God more accurately.

he said to them, Did ye receive Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.

But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having withdrawn from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of a certain Tyrannus.

But some of the wandering Jewish exorcists, attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims.

And having answered, the evil spirit said, I know Jesus and I recognize Paul, but who are ye?

And ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this man Paul, having persuaded them, turned away a considerable multitude, saying that there are no gods made by hands.

And not only is this our part liable to come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is going to be regarded for nothing, and also her magnificence be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.

And they urged forward Alexander out of the multitude, having put him forward from the Jews. And Alexander having waved his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd.

But after recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice developed from them all, crying out for about two hours, The great Artemis of Ephesians.

But Paul having come down, he fell on him, and having embraced him he said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

But we, having gone ahead to the ship, went up to Assos, intending from there to take up Paul, for so it was arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.

But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good-news of the grace of God.

And having bid farewell to each other, we went up in the ship, and those men returned to their own things.

And Paul answered, What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I fare ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

Having taken these, be purified with them. And pay expenses for them, so that they may shave the head. And all may know, that things of which they have been informed about thee, are nothing, but thou thyself also walk orderly, keep

But Paul said, I am really a Jewish man of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. And I beg thee, allow me to speak to the people.

I am indeed a Jewish man, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but reared in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, reared accurately in the paternal law, being a zealot of God, as ye all are today.

And those who were with me indeed saw the light and became afraid, but they heard not the voice of him who spoke to me.

And the chief captain answered, Of a great sum I obtained this citizenship. And Paul said, But then I was born so.

But on the morrow, wanting to know the certainty of why he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to come. And having brought Paul down, he set him before them.

But when Paul ascertained that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee. About the hope and resurrection of the dead I am judged.

For in fact Sadducees say to be no resurrection nor heavenly agent nor spirit, but Pharisees acknowledge them all.

And there developed a great clamor. And some of the scholars of the Pharisees part having risen, they argued vehemently, saying, We find nothing wrong in this man. But if a spirit spoke to him, or a heavenly agent, we should not fi

And when it became day, some of the Jews, having made a conspiracy, put themselves under a curse, saying neither to eat nor to drink until they would kill Paul.

who, having come near to the chief priests and the elders, said, We have put ourselves under a curse, a curse to taste of nothing until we would kill Paul.

But the son of Paul's sister, having heard of the ambush, having come and entered into the fort, he informed Paul.

Therefore thou should not be persuaded by them, for more than forty men of them wait to ambush him, who have put themselves under an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him. And now are they ready, expecting the p

But on the morrow they returned to the fort, having allowed the horsemen to depart with him,

But, that I may not detain thee on more, I entreat thee in thy clemency to hear us briefly.

But this I confess to thee, that according to the Way that they call a sect, so serve I the paternal God, believing all things written according to the law and the prophets,

But two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus. And wanting to lay down favors to the Jews, Felix left behind Paul bound.

But Festus, wanting to lay down a favor to the Jews, having answered Paul, said, Are thou willing, after going up to Jerusalem, to be judged there about these things before me?

But Paul said, I am standing at the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. I did nothing wrong Jewish, as thou also very well know.

For if I am indeed wrong, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die, but if there is nothing of what these men accuse me, no man can give me to them freely. I appeal Caesar.

but had certain issues against him about his own religion, and about a certain Jesus, who has died, whom Paul was claiming to be alive.

But when Paul appealed to be kept for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar.

But I, having understood him to have done nothing worthy of death, and also him, this man, having appealed Augustus I decided to send 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,

but declaring first to those at Damascus and then at Jerusalem, and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, to repent and return to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

But Paul says, I am not mad, eminent Festus, but I speak forth sayings of truth and soberness.

And Paul said, I ever pray to God, both by little and by much, not only thee, but also all who hear me this day, to become such kind as I also am, apart from these bonds.

And on another day we put in at Sidon. And Julius, who treated Paul kindly, allowed him to undergo care, after going to his friends.

And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it.

saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to be with injury and much damage, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.

But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul.

But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon.

But we must fall off upon a certain island.

And when it became day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which, they decided if possible, to drive the ship.

And having chanced upon a place where two seas meet, they ran the ship aground. And of course, the bow having become stuck, it remained immovable, but the stern was coming apart by the force of the waves.

But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prevented them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, having first jumped out, to go to the land,

But they expected he was going to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead, but when they were long expecting, and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, thinking differently, they declared him to be a god.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commandant, but Paul was allowed to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation.

And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judea about thee, nor did any of the brothers who came report or speak anything bad about thee.

But we think it worthy to hear from thee what thou think. For indeed about this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I might have some fruit also among you, even as among the other Gentiles.

Because, although knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful, but became vain in their reasonings and their heart was darkened without understanding.

Who, knowing the righteousness of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also favor those who do.

But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God,

but to those of self-interest, and who indeed disobey the truth but have confidence in unrighteousness--anger and wrath,

but glory and esteem and peace to every man who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

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

For circumcision is indeed beneficial if thou perform law, but if thou are a transgressor of law, thy circumcision has become uncircumcision.

but he is a Jew in what is hidden, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit not a document, whose praise is not from men but from God.

May it not happen! But let it come to pass God is true, but every man a liar, as it is written, That thou may ever be justified in thy words, and may prevail when thou are criticized.

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

But now a righteousness of God has been manifested independent of law, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.

Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law, of works? No, but by a law of faith.

For if Abraham was made righteous from works, he has a boast, but not before God.

Now to the man being employed, the wage is not reckoned according to grace, but according to obligation.

But to the man not being employed, but who believes in him who makes the impious man righteous, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

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

and father of those of circumcision, to those not only of circumcision, but also to those who march in the steps of faith--of that during the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith.

Because of this it is from faith, so that it is according to grace, in order for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to the seed from the law, but also to the seed from the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all

And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but became strong in faith, giving glory to God,

but also because of us to whom it is going to be imputed, to those who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance,

But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

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

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

But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.

And the gift is not as through one man who sinned, for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation, but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness.

And the law entered so that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant,

For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God.

So also ye, reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,

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

What then? May we sin, because we are not under law but under grace? May it not happen!

But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.

But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life.

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

For the woman under authority to the living husband has been bound by law, but if the husband should die, she has been released from the law of the husband.

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.
