and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.

And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.

And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;

and, having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.

And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.

And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.

But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fire, they took us all in because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.

And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, though saved out of the sea, Nemesis has not allowed to live.

But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down suddenly dead. But when they had expected a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.

who also honoured us with many honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.

And it came to pass after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and when they had come together he said to them, Brethren, I having done nothing against the people or the customs of our forefathers, have been delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

And they said to him, For our part, we have neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor has any one of the brethren who has arrived reported or said anything evil concerning thee.

And being disagreed among themselves they left; Paul having spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Esaias the prophet to our fathers,

For the heart of this people has become fat, and they hear heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; they also will hear it.

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:

professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And according as they did not think good to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;

who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do them.

All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one:

their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison is under their lips:

and way of peace they have not known:

Blessed they whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:

For if they which are of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

nor because they are seed of Abraham are all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.

That is, they that are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.

And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called Sons of the living God.

What then shall we say? That they of the nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but the righteousness that is on the principle of faith.

Wherefore? Because it was not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,

For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one who preaches?

and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!

But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?

But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I have been left alone, and they seek my life.

I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall there is salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.

Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and thou standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

And they too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.

For if thou hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?

As regards the glad tidings, they are enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.

so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that they also may be objects of mercy.

So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who thus resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.

For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.

but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.

They have been well pleased indeed, and they are their debtors; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also in fleshly to minister to them.

which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;)

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned;

And again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.

For this reason I have sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in mind of my ways as they are in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I.

But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since otherwise indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.

But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having any:

and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;

and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.

Do ye not know that they who labour at sacred things eat of the offerings offered in the temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?

Know ye not that they who run in the race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.

But every one that contends for a prize is temperate in all things: they then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them: (now the rock was the Christ;)

yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were strewed in the desert.

But these things happened as types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.

See Israel according to flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?

But that what the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.

Even as I also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.

Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

It is written in the law, By people of other tongues, and by strange lips, will I speak to this people; and neither thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.

If therefore the whole assembly come together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and simple persons enter in, or unbelievers, will not they say ye are mad?

But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.

But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which was towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.

Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if those that are dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?

But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?

and if it be suitable that I also should go, they shall go with me.

But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service,)

But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.

and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.

and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for ye are the living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.

For according to their power, I bear witness, and beyond their power, they were willing of their own accord,

And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.

Whether as regards Titus, he is my companion and fellow-labourer in your behalf; or our brethren, they are deputed messengers of assemblies, Christ's glory.

I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.

they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;

But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing for an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.

Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as being beside myself) I above measure so; in labours exceedingly abundant, in stripes to excess, in prisons exceedingly abundant, in deaths oft.

lest my God should humble me as to you when I come again, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have sinned before, and have not repented as to the uncleanness and fornication and licentiousness which they have practised.

But I let you know, brethren, as to the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:

and they glorified God in me.

and it was on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go to the nations, and they to the circumcision;

for before that certain came from James, he ate with those of the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision;

But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
