Having hope to God, which they themselves also admit, a rising from the dead about to be, both of just and unjust.

In which they found me purified in the temple, not with the crowd, nor with uproar, and certain Jews from Asia.

Who ought to be present to thee, and accuse, if they have anything against me.

Or let these themselves say, if they found any injustice in me, I having stood before the council,

And he having come, the Jews having come down from Jerusalem stood round about, bringing many and heavy charges against Paul, which they could not prove.

And as they tarried there many days, Festus set up to the king the things of Paul, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

Therefore, they having come here together, having made no delay, in order having sat upon the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.

Knowing me beforehand, from a former period, if they would testify, that according to the most strict sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.

Which I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the holy ones I shut up in prison, having received authority from chief priests; and they taken up, I carried down a vote.

And he having said these, the king arose, and the leader, and Bernice, and they sitting with them:

And having withdrawn, they spake to one another, saying, This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

And when it was determined for us to sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain others bound to a centurion named Julius, of Augustus' band.

And the harbor being not suitable for passing the winter, the greater part took counsel to be conveyed from thence, if perhaps having arrived at Phenice, they may be able to pass the winter; a harbor of Crete, looking to the south west and to the country.

And the south wind having blown softly, having thought to have obtained the purpose, hoisting up near, they sailed by Crete.

Which having taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing lest they might fall through into the quicksand, having loosened the vessel, so were they borne away.

And we being exceedingly tempest tossed, the following day they made a casting of the cargo overboard;

And having sounded, they found twenty fathoms; and having removed a little, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms.

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

And when it was day, they knew not the land: and they observed a certain deep bay having a coast, into which they resolved, if able, to push the ship.

And having in removed the anchors, they let go into the sea, at the same time having let loose the bonds of the rudders, and having lifted up the mizen mast, they held with the blast to the coast.

And having fallen into a place between two seas, they caused the ship to strike; and truly the prow, fixed firmly, remained undisturbed, but the stern was loosed by force of the waves.

And the soldiers' counsel was that they kill the prisoners, lest any, having swum away, may escape.

And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita.

And the foreigners bestowed upon us no ordinary kindness: for having lighted a pile of wood, they received us all on account of the impending rain, and for the cold.

And when the foreigners saw the wild beast hanging on his hand, they said to one another, This man is altogether a murderer, whom, saved from the sea, vengeance suffered not to live.

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 they honoured us with many honours; and to us getting under weigh, they set things for need.

And it was after three days Paul called together them being first of the Jews: and they having come together, he said to them, Men, brethren, I having done nothing against the people, or customs of the fathers, I was delivered in bonds from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

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 being at variance with one another, they were let go, Paul having said one word, That well spake the Holy Spirit by Esaias the prophet to our fathers,

For the heart of this people was thickened, and with ears heard they heavily, and their eyes they closed; lest they should see with the eyes, and with ears should hear, and with the heart they should understand, and turn back, and I should heal them.

Be it known to you therefore, that salvation of God was sent to the nations, and they shall hear.

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:

Wherefore having known God, not as God did they honour or return thanks; but were rendered vain in their conversations, and their heart without understanding was darkened.

Declaring themselves to be wise, they were fools,

And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of creeping things, and of quadrupeds.

And as they chose not to have God in knowledge, God delivered them to an adulterated purpose, to do things not fitting;

Who knowing the justice of God, that they doing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve those doing.

To them truly by perseverance of the good work they seek glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

Much according to every manner: for truly first were they trusted with the oracles of God.

All have bent aside, together have they become unprofitable: there is none doing good, there is not even one.

Their throat an opened tomb; with their tongues have they used deceit; the poison of asps under their lips:

And the way of peace they knew not:

Happy they whose iniquities were remitted, and whose sins were covered.

For if they of the law, heirs, faith was made void, and the promise left inactive:

For if by the fall of one, death reigned by one; much more they receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of justice in life shall reign by one, Jesus Christ.)

For they being according to the flesh mind things of the flesh; and they according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

And they being in the flesh cannot please God.

And not only, but also they having the first fruits of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan in ourselves, waiting for the adoption as a son, the redemption of our body.

And not as that the word of God has fallen through. For not they all of Israel, they which of Israel:

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

Wherefore? Because not of faith, but as of the works of the law. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone;

For I testify for them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

For not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not been subjected to the justice of God.

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?

And how shall they proclaim, except they be sent? as has been written, How beautiful the feet of them announcing good news, peace, of them announcing good things!

But I say, Have they not heard? Surely, in all the earth went out their sound, and their words to the end of the habitable globe.

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

I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? It may not be: but by their fall salvation to the nations, to make them jealous.

Well; for unbelief were they broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but do thou fear:

And they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in:for God is able to graft them in again.

So they now also were disobedient, by your mercy that they also be commiserated.

So he opposing the power, has resisted the arrangement of God: and they having resisted shall receive to themselves judgment.

For this also pay ye taxes: for they are workmen of God, persevering in this same.

But as has been written, to whom it was not announced of him, they shall see: and they who have not heard shall understand.

For they were contented; and they are their debtors. For if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them in things pertaining to the flesh.

But we speak wisdom among the perfected: and the wisdom not of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, they being left unemployed:

Which none of the rulers of this world knew: for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

And the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: and he cannot know, for they are spiritually examined.

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

Or know ye not that he joined to a harlot is one body? for they shall be, he says, they two into one flesh.

And I say to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain also as I.

And if they have not self command, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to be set on fire.

For the unbelieving husband was consecrated in the wife, and the unbelieving wife was consecrated in the husband: for then are our children unclean; and now are they holy.

And this I say, brethren, the time is restricted; as to the rest, that they also having wives should be as not having;

And they weeping, as not weeping; and they rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and they buying, as not possessing.

And they using this world, as not using; for the form of this world passes away.

For also though they are called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon the earth, (for there are many gods, and many lords,)

Do ye not know that they working consecrated things, eat of the temple? they working diligently at the altar, share together with the altar?

Do ye not know that they running in a race-course, all truly run, and one receives the prize of combat? Do ye so run, that ye might receive.

And every one contending for the prize, has self command in all things. These surely therefore that they might receive a corruptible crown; and we an incorruptible.

And they all ate the same spiritual food

And all drank the same spiritual drink: for they drank of the spiritual Rock following; and the Rock was Christ.

But God was not contented with the most of them: for they were overthrown in the desert.

And these things were our types, that we be not eagerly desirous of evil things, as they also eagerly desired.

See ye Israel according to the flesh: are not they eating the sacrifices mutual participators of the altar?

But, that what things they sacrifice the nations sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I will not ye be partakers of demons.

As I also please in all things to all, not seeking my advantage, but that of many, that they might be saved.

Love never falters: but whether gifts of prophecies, they shall be left unemployed; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall be left unemployed.

It has been written in the law, That in other tongues and in other lips will I speak to this people; and not so will they hear me, says the Lord.

If therefore the whole church come together upon the same, and all speak with tongues, and the private individual, or unbelieving, come in, will they not say that ye are enraged?

And if they will learn anything, let them ask their own husbands in the house; for it is shameful for women to speak in the church.

If any think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him observe what I write to you, that they are the commands of the Lord.

And by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which in me was not vain; but I was more abundantly wearied than they all: and not I, but the grace of God which with me.

Whether therefore I or they, so we proclaim, and so ye believed.

Then they also having died in Christ perished.

And each in his own order: the first fruit Christ; then they of Christ in his arrival.

For what shall they do being immersed for the dead, if in fine the dead rise not? and why are they immersed for the dead?

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

And if it be suitable for me also to go, they shall go with me.
