But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.

And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately.

But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

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

And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands:

and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

But if ye seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.

But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.

But we going before to the ship set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.

But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and bade each other farewell;

and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.

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

these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.

But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.

But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.

I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day:

And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:

And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am a Roman born.

But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

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

But Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.

and he bade them provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

whom I found to be accused about questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words.

But the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,

But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but there were certain Jews from Asia--

But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter.

But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar's judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.

If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is true whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought.

but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar.

But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.

But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee;

but declared both to them of Damascus first and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come;

But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.

And Agrippa'said unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian.

And Paul'said , I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.

And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.

and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east.

But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:

And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:

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

But we must be cast upon a certain island.

But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the'sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:

And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,

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

And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.

But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves .

But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;

But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation.

But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.

For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.

but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness,'shall be wrath and indignation,

but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:

But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

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

God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.

But if our righteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)

But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.

Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, 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 the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.

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

for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,

but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;
