and having sailed through the sea which is opposite Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down into Myra of Lycia.

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

and, with difficulty passing by it, we came into a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasea.

And the harbor being unsafe for spending the winter, most of them projected to the council to depart thence, if perchance they might be able, having arrived into Phoenix, to spend the winter there; a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southeast and the northeast.

Since the ship was caught and was unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

After they had gone a long time without food [because of seasickness and stress], Paul stood up before them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice and should not have set sail from Crete, and brought on this damage and loss.

Howbeit, we must be cast into a certain island."

And fearing lest perhaps we might fall through into rough places, having cast four anchors from the stern, prayed for day to come.

But, when, the sailors, were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, by pretext, as though out of the prow they had been about to reach anchors,

And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.

And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

And, casting off the anchors, they let them go into the sea, - at the same time, loosening the lashings of the rudders, and, hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

But, falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and, the foreship sticking fast, remained immoveable, while, the stern, began to break up, from the violence of the waves .

But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

But, when Paul had gathered a certain lot of firewood into a bundle, and laid it on the fire, a viper, by reason of the heat, coming forth, fastened on his hand.

He, however, shaking of the brute into the fire, suffered no harm;

Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.

Then they gave us great honour, and, when we went away, they put into the ship whatever things we were in need of.

And going into the harbour at Syracuse, we were waiting there for three days.

thence having come circuitously, we arrived into Rhegium. And after one day there being a south wind, we came the second day to Puteoli,

where having found brethren, we were entreated to remain with them seven days: and thus we came into Rome.

And, when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

And it came to pass, after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and, when they came together, he began to say unto them - I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, as a prisoner, out of Jerusalem, was delivered into the hands of the Romans;

But when the Jews made protest against it, I had to put my cause into Caesar's hands; not because I have anything to say against my nation.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.

Because, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

They called themselves wise, but they have turned into fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause, God gave them up unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, -

Circumcision is certainly of use, provided you keep the Law; but if you are a breaker of the Law, then your circumcision is turned into uncircumcision.

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.

Because no human creature can be brought into right standing with God by observing the law. For all the law can do is to make men conscious of sin.

For we hold that a man is brought into right standing with God by faith, that observance of the law has no connection with it.

but the man who does no work, but simply puts his faith in Him who brings the ungodly into right standing with Himself, has his faith credited to him as right standing.

“Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account.”

This is why righteousness is of faith, that it may be a free gift; so that the promise stands firm to all Abraham's posterity; not to his children of his faith. For in the sight of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which is not, Abraham is the father of us all both Jews and Gentiles,

in God’s sight. As it is written: I have made you the father of many nations. He believed in God, who gives life to the dead and calls things into existence that do not exist.

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

So if we have already been brought into right standing with God by Christ's death, it is much more certain that by Him we shall be saved from God's wrath.

For this cause, - just as, through one man, sin into the world entered, and through sin, death, - and, so, unto all men death passed through, for that all had sinned; -

And, not as through one that sinned, is that which is freely given, for, the sentence of judgment, indeed, was - out of one fault into condemnation, whereas, the decree of favour, is - out of many faults, into a recovery of righteousness.

For if by the trespass of the one (Adam), death reigned through the one (Adam), much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in [eternal] life through the One, Jesus Christ.

For just as by that man's disobedience the whole race of men were constituted sinners, so by this One's obedience the whole race of men may be brought into right standing with God.

Now the law of Moses was introduced [into the world] in order to cause sin to increase [i.e., it defined many things to be wrong that were previously not regarded as sin]. But with the increase of sin, God's unearned favor increased all the more.

Or know ye not that, we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, into his death were immersed?

We were, therefore, buried together with him through our immersion into his death, in order that - just as Christ was raised from among the dead through the glory of the Father, so, we also, in newness of life should walk.

For if we have grown into fellowship with Him by sharing a death like His, surely we shall share a resurrection life like His,

Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,

But thanks be unto God, that - whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient out of the heart unto the mould of teaching into which ye were delivered;

and being set free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness??19 I speak in these homely figures because of the weakness of your fleshly nature??ust as you once surrendered your faculties into slavery to impurity and to all lawlessness, so now you must surrender your faculties into slavery to righteousness, unto deeds of holiness.

your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures--and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing towards perfect holiness.

but now that you are set free from sin, now that you have passed into the service of God, your gain is consecration, and the end of that is life eternal.

For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

Once, apart from Law, I was alive, but when the Commandment came, sin sprang into life, and I died;

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am made out of flesh, sold into sin’s power.

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

For ye have not received a spirit of servitude, leading back into fear, but ye have received a spirit of sonship, whereby we are exclaiming - Abba! Oh Father!

For nature was subjected to imperfection, not by its own will, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject??21 yet not without the hope that some day nature itself also will be freed from the thralldom of decay, into the freedom which belongs to the glory of the children of God.

That, creation itself also, shall be freed - from the bondage of the decay into the freedom of the glory of the sons of God;

And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

and he that penetrates into the heart approves what the spirit desires, because what he demands for the saints is agreeable to the divine will.

And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.

Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

and those whom He marked off as His own He also calls; and those whom He calls He brings into right standing with Himself; those whom He brings into right standing with Himself He also glorifies.

of whom are the fathers, and from whom (according to flesh) is the Christ, God who is over all is blessed into the ages. Truly.

Before the children had come into existence, or had done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose and his selection might be effected, not by works, but by him whose purpose it is,

Or hath not the potter a right over the clay - out of the same lump, to make some, indeed, into a vessel for honour, and some for dishonour?

Whereas, the righteousness by faith, thus speaketh - Do not say in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? That is, to bring, Christ, down,

Or, Who shall descend into the abyss? That is, to bring up, Christ, from among the dead;

But I say: Have they not heard? Yea indeed, - into all the earth, hath gone forth their sound, and, unto the ends of the inhabited world, their declarations.

Thus, then, in the present season also, a remnant, by way of an election of favour, hath come into being.

The rest became callous; as the Scripture says, "God has thrown them into a state of spiritual insensibility, with eyes that cannot see and cars that cannot hear, that has lasted down to this day."

And, David, saith - Let their table be turned into a snare, and into gin, and into a trap, and into a recompense unto them,

I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.

For if their rejection [by God] meant that [the rest of] the world could be restored to favor [with God], what would [God's] receiving the Jews back into fellowship be, except like dead people coming back to life?

But some of the branches [of a cultivated olive tree] were broken off [i.e., God's rejection of the Jews] and you [Gentiles], representing a wild olive tree [branch], were grafted into it. So then, you [Gentiles] were able to benefit from the roots and sap of the olive tree, along with the Jews.

For, if, thou, out of the naturally wild olive was cut out, and, beyond nature, hast been engrafted into the good olive, how much rather, shall these, the natural branches be engrafted into their own olive tree?

Oh, how inexhaustible are God's resources and God's wisdom and God's knowledge! How impossible it is to search into His decrees or trace His footsteps!

Because from him, and through him, and for him, are all things. To him is the glory into the ages. Truly.

Put affection into your love for the brotherhood; be forward to honour one another;

Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.

Make it your practice to receive into full Christian fellowship people who are overscrupulous, but not to criticize their views.

Who [do you think] you are, to pass judgment on someone else's household servant? He stands [approved] or falls [into disapproval] before his own Master [only]. Yes, [surely] he will stand [approved], for the Lord is capable of helping him to stand.

And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

Therefore, practice receiving one another into full Christian fellowship, just as Christ has so received you to Himself.

But now having no longer place in these parts, and having had a great desire for many years to come to you, Whenever I go into Spain, I will come to you;

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

They have been well-pleased, indeed, - and, their debtors, they are; for, if, with their spiritual things the nations have come into fellowship, they are bound also with their own carnal things to minister publicly unto them.

So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.

But I beseech you, brethren, to keep a watch on those who are causing the divisions among you, and are leading others into sin, in defiance of the instruction which you have received; and habitually to shun them.

to the only wise God through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory into the ages. Truly.

in him you have received a wealth of all blessing, full power to speak of your faith and full insight into its meaning,

Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?

Or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? I thank God, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius:
