And saw him saying to me, Hasten, and come quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony of me.

And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I myself was standing by, and assenting to his murder, and watching the garments of them murdering him.

And they heard him to this word, and lifted up their voices, saying, Take away such a one from the earth: for it is not suitable for him to live.

The captain of a thousand commanded him to be brought to the camp, having spoken to examine him by scourges; that he might know for what cause they exclaimed so against him.

And as he held him before with thongs, Paul said to the centurion standing by, Is it lawful to scourge a man a Roman, and uncondemned?

And the captain of a thousand having come near, said to him, Tell me if thou art a Roman. And he said, Yes.

Then quickly they about to examine him withdrew from him: and the captain of a thousand was afraid, knowing that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him.

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

And the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his month.

Then said Paul to him, God is about to strike thee, thou wall covered with dust: and sittest thou judging me according to law, and commanded me to be struck illegally?

And there was a great cry: and the scribes of the Pharisees' part, having risen, struggled with obstinacy, saying, We find nothing evil in this man: but if a spirit or messenger spake to him, we should not contend against God.

And there being much dissension, the captain of a thousand, having dreaded lest Paul be torn asunder by them, commanded the army, having gone down, to snatch him from the midst of them, and bring into the camp.

And the following night the Lord, having stood by him, said, Take courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou also testify at Rome.

Now therefore do ye exhibit to the captain of a thousand, with the council, so that to-morrow he might bring him down to you, as about to examine more accurately the things concerning him: and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.

And Paul having called one of the centurions, said, Bring this young man to the captain of a thousand; for he has something to announce to him.

Then truly having taken him, he brought to the captain of a thousand, and says, Paul, the bound, having called me, asked to bring this young man to thee, having something to say to thee.

And he said, That the Jews agreed together to ask thee, so that to-morrow thou mightest bring down Paul to the council, as about to inquire something more accurately about him.

Therefore thou shouldest not be persuaded by them: for more than forty men of them lie in wait for him, who anathematized themselves, neither to eat or drink till they should kill him: and now are they prepared, expecting a promise from thee.

Truly then the captain of a thousand discharged the young man, having enjoined him, Tell none that thou hast shown these things to me.

This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them: having stood with an army, I took him away, having learned that he is a Roman.

And wishing to know the cause for which they accused him, I brought him down to this council:

And the plot about to be by the Jews, having been made known to me against the man, for this I sent to thee, having also commanded the accusers to say things against him to thee. Farewell.

And the morrow; having suffered the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the camp:

Who having come into Cesarea and given up the letter to the leader, they also placed Paul before him.

I will hearken to thee, he said, when also thine accusers should be present. And he commanded him to be watched in Herod's pretorium.

Having commanded his accusers to come to thee: by which thou thyself shalt be able, having examined, to know of all these of which we accuse him.

And Paul answered, the leader having nodded to him to speak, Knowing from many years thee being judge to this nation, more cheerfully do I justify things concerning myself:

And having appointed a centurion to keep Paul, and to have a setting at liberty, and to hinder none of his own to serve or come to him.

And after certain days, Felix, having been present with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, sent for Paul and heard him of the faith in Christ.

And at the same time also hoping that money should be given him by Paul, so that he might loose him: wherefore also sending for him more frequently, he conversed with him.

And the chief priest and first of the Jews exhibited to him against Paul, and besought him,

Asking favor against him, that he might send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambuscade to kill him in the way.

Therefore the able among you, he says, having gone down together, if there be anything in this man, let them accuse him.

About whom, I being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews exhibited, asking judgment against him.

But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of a certain Jesus, having died, whom Paul declared living.

And Paul having appealed for him to be kept for the determination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I send him to Caesar.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I wished myself also to hear the man. And he said, Tomorrow thou shalt hear him.

And I discovering nothing he has done worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Augustus, I judged to send him.

Of whom I have not anything certain to write to the lord. Wherefore I brought him to you, and especially to thee, king Agrippa, so that, examination having been, I should have some thing to write.

For it seems to me unreasonable sending one in bonds, and not to signify the charges against him.

For the king knows of these, to whom speaking freely I speak: for I am persuaded that none of these are unknown to him; for these were not done in a corner.

And another day we were brought down to Sidon. And Julius having treated Paul affectionately, gave him up, having gone to his friends to obtain care.

And they expected him about to be inflamed, or to fall down dead suddenly: and they waiting for much, and seeing nothing extraordinary coming to him, changing their opinions, they said he was a god.

And it was the father of Publius lay, held fast with fever and dysentery: to whom Paul, having come in and prayed, laid hands upon him, and healed him.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commander of the camp: but to Paul it was permitted to remain by himself with a soldier watching him.

And they said to him, We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, nor any of the brethren having been present announced or spoke any evil of thee.

And having appointed him a day, many came to him to the lodging; to whom testifying, he set forth the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morn to eve.

And Paul remained two whole years in his own wages, and received all going to him,

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world, being understood by things made, are inspected, truly both his eternal power and divinity; so that they are inexcusable:

Who changed the truth of God into a falsehood, and reverenced and served the creation above him creating, who is praised forever. Amen.

Therefore from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before him: for by the law the knowledge of sin.

For the manifestation of his justice now in time: for him to be just, and justifying him of the faith of Jesus.

For what says the writing? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice.

And to him working, the reward is not reckoned according to favor, but according to debt.

And to him not working, and believing upon him justifying the impious, his faith is reckoned for justice.

How then was it reckoned? to him being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which in uncircumcision: for him to be father of all believing through uncircumcision; for justice also to be reckoned to them:

For not by the law, the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, but by the justice of faith.

(As it has been written, That have set thee father of many nations,) over against him who believed God, making alive the dead, and calling things not being as being.

Who against hope believed upon hope, for him to become father of many nations, according to that said, So shall thy seed be.

And therefore it was reckoned to him for justice.

And it was not written for him alone, that it was reckoned to him;

But also for us, to whom it is about to be reckoned, to them believing upon him having raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Much more then, justified now in his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.

But death reigned from Adam to Moses, and upon them not having sinned upon the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him about to be.

Therefore were we buried with him by immersion into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.

And if we died with Christ, we believe we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death has no more power over him.

Therefore, my brethren, ye also were dead to the law by the body of Christ; for you not to be to another, but to him raised from the dead, that we bring forth fruit to God.

And if the Spirit of him having raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he having raised up Christ from the dead will make alive also your mortal bodies by his Spirit dwelling in you.

For the creation was subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him having subjected in hope,

For whom he before knew, he also before determined of the form of the image of his Son, for him to be first born in many brethren.

Who truly spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, and how not with him will he freely give us all?

But in all these we obtain a complete victory by him having loved us.

(For not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that according to choice the purpose of God might remain, not of works, but of him calling;)

Surely then, not of him Willing, nor of him running, but of God commiserating.

Surely, O man, who art thou replying against God? Shall the formation say to him having formed, Why hest thou made me so

As has been written, Behold I set in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.

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

For the writing says, Every one believing upon him shall not be ashamed.

For no distinction is of the Jew and also of the Greek: for the same Lord of all being rich to all calling upon him.

How then shall they call upon whom they believed not? and how shall they believe whom they heard not? and how shall they hear without him proclaiming?

But what say to him the intimations of divine will I have left to myself seven thousand men, who bent not the knee to Baal.

Or who first gave to him, and it shall be given back to him?

For of him, and by him, and to him, all things: to him the glory forever Amen.

If therefore thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for doing this, thou shalt heap up-coals of fire on his head.

For he is servant of God to thee for good. And if thou do evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword without order: for he is servant of God, avenging for anger to him doing evil.

Him being weak in faith receive ye, not to judgments of conversations.

Let not him eating despise him not eating: and let not him not eating judge him eating: for God has received him.

Who art thou judging another's servant? to his own lord he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand: for God is powerful to make him stand.

And if by food thy brother is grieved, thou no more walkest by love. Not by thy food destroy him, for whom Christ died.

And again Esaias says, The root shall be of Jesse, and he having risen to rule over the nations; upon him shall the nations hope.

And to him being able to support you according to my good news, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent from eternal times,

That in every thing we were enriched in him, in all the word, and all knowledge;

That no flesh might boast before him.

And ye are of him in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and also justice, and consecration, and holiness:

That, as it has been written, Let him boasting, boast in the Lord.

For I judged not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
