And they standing by said, Revilest thou God's chief priest?

For truly the Sadducees say there is no rising up, neither messenger, nor spirit: and the Pharisees acknowledge both.

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's sister's son having heard of the ambuscade, having approached, and come into the camp, announced to Paul.

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.

And having called two certain of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers, so that they go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred having held spears in the right hand, at the third hour of the night;

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.

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.

And the Jews also agreed, saying, these things hold so.

And this I confess to thee, that according to the way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things written in the law and the prophets:

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

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 Paul said, At Caesar's judgment seat am I standing where I must he judged: I injured the Jews nothing, as thou also knowest better.

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.

The middle of day, I saw in the way, O king, a light from heaven, above the brilliancy of the sun, having shone around me, and those going with me.

And having sailed over the sea by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, of Lycia.

Saying to them, Men, I see that with violence and much damage, not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives, the voyage is about to be.

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.

Wherefore, O men, be cheerful: for I believe God, that so it shall be as he has spoken to me.

And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having loosened the boat to the sea, for a pretext as about to extend the anchors from the prow,

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

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 the rest, truly some on boards, and some on certain things from the ship. And so it was, all were saved upon the land.

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.

Where having found brethren, we were besought by them to tarry yet seven days longer: and so we came to Rome.

For this cause therefore I besought to see you, and to speak: for, for the hope of Israel am I surrounded by this chain.

Saying, Go to this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and ye should not perceive:

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.

For my witness is God, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of his Son, so that continually I make mention of you, always supplicating in my prayers;

For I long to see you, That I might impart to you some spiritual grace, in order for you to be firm;

So that for my part being zealous, also to you that in Rome, to announce the good news.

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:

And if our injustice shall recommend the justice of God, what shall we say God not unjust bringing in anger? (I speak as man)

And not, (as we are defamed, and some have declared us to say,) That we should do evil things, that good things might come: whose judgment is just.

What then shall we say Abraham our father to have found, according to the flesh?

This happiness then upon circumcision, or upon uncircumcision? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for justice.

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

And not having been weak in faith, he observed not his own body already having been dead, being about a hundred years, and the death of Sarah's womb:

Therefore, as by one man sin came into the world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in that all have sinned:

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.

But not as the fall, so also the favor. For if for the fall of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace, of one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to many.

Therefore as by the fall of one for all men to condemnation; so also by the justification of one for all men to justification of life.

For as by one man's disobedience many were constituted sinful, so also by the obedience of one shall many be constituted just.

That as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign by justice to life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, that grace might abound

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.

So also ye reckon yourselves truly to be dead to sin, and living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(I speak as man through the weakness of your flesh:) for as ye presented your members to uncleanness and iniquity; so now present ye your members servants to justice for consecration.

And now we were left inactive from the law, having died in what we were held; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What then shall we say? The law sin? It may not be. But I knew not sin except by the law: for I knew not lust, if the law said not, Thou shalt not eagerly desire.

And I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and taking me captive to the law of sin being in my members.

And if what we see not, we hope for, by patience we wait.

What then shall we say to these? if God with us, who against us?

What then shall we say Is injustice with God? It may not be.

For the writing says to Pharaoh, That for this same have I raised thee up, so that I might show in thee my power, and so that my name might be announced in all the earth.

Thou wilt then say to me, Why does he yet blame For who has withstood his will?

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

And Esaias cries for Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:

What then shall we say? That the nations, not following justice, overtook justice, and the justice of faith.

Brethren, truly my heart's delight and prayer to God for Israel is for salvation.

And the justice of faith says thus, Thou shouldest not say in thy heart, Who shall go up to heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)

But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim;

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.

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will make you jealous of not a nation, and by a shortsighted nation will I anger you.

I say then, Has God rejected his people It may not be. For I also am an Israelite, of Abraham's seed, of the tribe of Benjamin.

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.

So then also in the time now has been a remnant according to the election of grace.

(As has been written, God gave them the spirit of mortal pain, eyes not to see, and earn not to hear;) even to this day.

Let their eyes be darkened not to see, and let them bend their back always.

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.

Thou wilt say then, That the young shoots were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

And so all Israel shall be saved: as has been written, The Deliverer shall come out of Sion, and turn away profanation from Jacob.

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

For I say, by the race given me, to every one being with you, not to entertain a high opinion of one's self above what is fitting to think: but to think to be discreet, as God has divided the measure of faith to each.

So we, the many, are one body in Christ, and the members for one another.

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

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.

So therefore shall each of us give word for himself to God.

So therefore, let us pursue the things of peace, and the things for the building up for one another.

And I say Jesus Christ has become the servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers:

By power of signs and wonders, by power of the Spirit of God, so that I from Jerusalem, and round about even to Illyricum, have completed the good news of Christ.

And so seeking the honour to announce the good news, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon a strange foundation:

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

Whenever I go into Spain, I will come to you, for I hope passing through to see you: and by you to be sent forward there, if first from part I might be filled with you.

So that ye are not wanting in any grace; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And this I say, that each of you says, I truly am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you? or in Paul's name were ye immersed

Lest any should say that in my name I have immersed.

For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many powerful, not, many well born:

And my word and my proclaiming not in persuasible words of man's wisdom, but in manifestation of the Spirit and of power

But as has been written. Which the eye saw not, and the ear heard not, and upon the heart of man it came not up, what things God has prepared for them loving him.

For who of men knows the things of men except the spirit of man in him? so also the things of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.

Which also we speak, not in words taught of man's wisdom, but in them taught of the Holy Spirit; examining spiritual things by spiritual.

For when a certain one should say, I truly am of Paul; and another, I of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

So that neither he planting is anything, neither he watering; but God increasing.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise chief-architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon. And let each see how he builds upon.

If the work of any one shall be burned, he shall be caused damage: and he shall be saved; and so as by fire.

So let a man reckon us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
