And when it was reported to me of a plot going to be against the man by the Jews, I immediately sent him to thee, also having commanded the accusers to speak before thee the things against him. Be strong.

Indeed therefore, the soldiers, according to that which was precisely arranged for them, having taken Paul, they brought him through the night to Antipatris.

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

who, after coming to Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.

he said, I will hear thee when thine accusers also will arrive. And he commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.

And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Experiencing much peace because of thee, and worthy deeds happening to this nation because of thy foresight,

from whom thou will be able, having examined him, to learn about all these things of which we accuse him.

And when the governor gestured to him to speak, Paul answered, Knowing for many years thou being a judge to this nation, I gladly make a defense of these things about myself,

He also arranged for the centurion to guard Paul, and to have reduced confinement, and to forbid none of his own men to serve or to come to him.

And after some days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla, his wife being Jewish, he summoned Paul, and heard him about the faith in Christ.

He also hoped simultaneously that money would be given him by Paul so that he might free him. And so, summoning him more frequently, he conversed with him.

And the high priest and the principal men of the Jews appeared to him against Paul, and urged him,

asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to kill him on the way.

Therefore he says, Let the able men among you, after coming down together, accuse him if there is anything in this man.

about whom, when I became in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews revealed, asking judgment against him.

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.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I also want to hear the man myself. And tomorrow, he says, thou will hear him.

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.

About whom I do not have anything certain to write to the lord. Therefore I brought him before you, and especially before thee, king Agrippa, so that, an examination having occurred, I may have something to write.

For it seems to me unreasonable, sending a prisoner, and not to specify the causes against him.

For the king knows about these things, before whom I also speak boldly. For I am convinced not any of these things, nothing, to be hidden from him. For this was not done in a corner.

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.

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 it came about for the father of Publius to be laid down, gripped by fever and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered in, and having prayed, having laid his hands on him, healed him.

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.

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.

And having appointed a day for him, more came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, solemnly testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from m

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired lodging. And he received all who came in to him,

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both his eternal power and divinity, for them to be without excuse.

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 changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the creation against him who created it, who is blessed into the ages. Truly.

Because from works of law no flesh will be made right before him, for through law is knowledge of sin.

(in the forbearance of God), for proof of his justice at the present time, for him to be righteous, and who makes the man from Jesus' faith righteous.

For what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

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

And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of his faith during uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those who believe during uncircumcision (for righteousness to also be imputed to them),

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.

(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing.

Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be.

And therefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written because of him alone that it was imputed to him,

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,

Much more then, now having been made righteous by his blood, we will be saved from the wrath through him.

We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may walk in newness of life.

Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be inactivated, no longer to enslave us to sin.

And if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.

Therefore, my brothers, ye also became dead to the law through the body of Christ in order for ye to become to another, to him who was raised from the dead, so that we would bear fruit to God.

But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, this man is not of him.

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

For the creation was made subject to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope.

Because whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be of similar nature of the form of his Son, in order for him to be the firstborn son among many brothers.

He who did not even spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?

But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

(for not yet having been born, nor having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to selection might remain, not from works, but from him who calls),

So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who is merciful.

Rather, O man, who are thou answering back to God? No, will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did thou make me this way?

just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

that if thou will confess with thy mouth, Lord Jesus, and will believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou will be saved.

For the scripture says, Every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

For there is no distinction of a Jew and also of a Greek, for the same Lord is of all men, being rich toward all those who call upon him.

But what does the divine response say to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed a knee to Baal.

Or who first gave to him, and it will be repaid to him?

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

Therefore if thine enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him to drink. For by doing this thou will heap coals of fire upon his head.

The man who eats should not disdain the man who does not eat, and the man who does not eat should not criticize the man who eats, for God has received him.

Who are thou who criticizes the servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

I know and am persuaded in Lord Jesus, that nothing is profane by itself, except to him who regards anything to be profane. To that man it is profane.

And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him.

And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.

but, as it is written, They will see to whom it was not reported about him, and they will understand who have not heard.

Now to him who is able to establish you according to my good-news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to a revelation of the mystery that has been kept secret for eternal times,

that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge.

so that, just as it is written, He who boasts, let him boast in Lord.

But as it is written, What an eye has not seen, and an ear has not heard, and have not arisen in a heart of a man, are things that God prepared for those who love him.

For what man knows the things of the man, except the spirit of the man in him? And so nobody knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Now the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to understand because they are evaluated spiritually.

For who has known the mind of Lord that he will stand with him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Let not one man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he may become wise.

But to the rest I say, not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and this woman consents to dwell with him, he should not leave her.

And whichever woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, she should not leave him.

Except, as God has distributed to each man, as the Lord has called each, so let him walk. And so I command in all the congregations.

But if any man loves God, this man is known by him.

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

Therefore let him who seems to stand take heed lest he fall.

Or does not nature itself teach you that if a man actually wears long hair it is a disgrace to him?

But let a man examine himself, and let him so eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

And if any man is hungry, let him eat at home so that ye may not come together for condemnation. And the rest I will set in order as soon as I come.

If therefore I know not the force of the voice, I will be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.

Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in an assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

If any man presumes to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge what I write to you, that they are commandments of Lord.

But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

For he subordinated all things under his feet. But when he says that all things have been subordinated, it is clear that he who subordinated all things under him, is excepted.

And when all things are made subordinate to him, then the Son himself will also be made subordinate to him who subordinated all things to him, so that God may be all in all.

Let not any man therefore disparage him, but send him forth in peace, so that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brothers.

And about Apollos the brother, I urged him much that he would come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all his will that he should come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

If any man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maranatha.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was proclaimed among you by us (by me and Silvanus and Timothy) became not, yes and no, but in him has become, yes.
