God having made the world and all things in it, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made by hands;

Nor is served by men's hands, standing in need of anything, he giving to all life, and breath, and all things.

To seek the Lord, if perchance indeed they have felt for him, and found, although not being far from each one of us:

Being therefore the posterity of God, we ought not to think gold, or silver, or stone, an engraving of art, or meditation of man, the divinity to be like.

And the Lord said through a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak, and thou shouldest not be silent:

But if it is a question of the word, and names, and law, according to you, see ye yourselves; for I will not be judge of these.

And they asking to remain with them for more time, he acquiesced not;

And when certain were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing in the day in the school of a certain Tyrannus.

And ye see and hear that not only Ephesus, but almost all Asia, this Paul having persuaded, changed a sufficient crowd, saying, that they are not gods made by hands:

And not only this part is in danger to us to come to reproach; but also the temple of the great goddess Diana to be reckoned for nothing, and her greatness also about to be destroyed, whom the whole of Asia and the habitable globe worship.

And Paul wishing to come in to the people, the disciples suffered him not.

And certain also of the chief of Asia, being friends to him, having sent to him, besought not to give himself into the theatre.

Others truly cried some other things: for the church was confused; and the most knew not for what they had come together.

And the scribe having calmed the crowd, says, Men, Ephesians, for who is the man that knows not the city of the Ephesians, being templekeeper of the great goddess Diana, and sent by Jove?

Therefore these things not being refuted, it is necessary for you to be restrained, and to do nothing rash.

For ye brought these men not sacrilegious, nor blaspheming your goddess.

And Paul having gone down, fell upon him, and embracing, said, Be not disturbed, for his soul is in him.

And they brought the child living, and were not little comforted.

For Paul determined to sail to Ephesus, as it might not be to him to spend the time in Asia: for he hastened, if it were possible to him, to be in Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

how I concealed nothing of things profitable, not to announce to you, and teach you publicly, and in the houses,

And now, behold, I, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things going to happen to me in it;

For I concealed not to announce to you all the counsel of God.

For I know this, that there shall come in after my departure grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock.

Wherefore watch ye, remembering that the space of three years night and day I ceased not reminding each one with tears.

And having found disciples, we remained there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.

And when we heard these things, both we, and the nations, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

And Paul answered, What do ye weeping and breaking my heart? for I not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem, have prepared for the name of the Lord Jesus.

And he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

And they were taught about thee, that thou teachest apostasy from Moses, all the Jews among the nations, saying, they are not to circumcise children, nor walk in the customs.

And other cried what other in the crowd: and not being able to know certainly for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the camp.

Art not thou then the Egyptian, who before these days having risen up, and having brought into the desert four thousand men of murderers?

And they being with me truly saw the light, and were terrified; but they heard not the voice of him speaking to me.

And when I saw not from the glory of that light, led by the hand of them being with me I came to Damascus.

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

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.

And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it has been written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

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 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.

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.

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;

Then truly the soldiers according to that appointed them, having taken up Paul, brought by night to Antipatris.

Thou being able to know that not more than twelve days are to me from which I went up, going to worship in Jerusalem.

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

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.

For if truly I act with injustice, and have done anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be nothing of which these accuse me, no one can yield me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.

To whom I answered, That it is not the custom to Romans to yield up any man to destruction, before that the accused may have the accusers before the face, and take place for defence for the accusation.

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.

To which our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to arrive. For which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews.

Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision:

And he says, I am not frenzied, most excellent Festus; but I speak the words of truth and soundness of mind.

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 Paul said, I would pray to God also in little, and in much, not only thee, but also all hearing me this day to become such, of what kind I also am, besides these bonds.

And Agrippa said to Festus, This man could have been loosed, if he had not appealed to Caesar.

And in many days sailing slowly, and with difficulty having come to Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete, to Salmone;

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.

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 after not much a violent wind struck against it, called Enroclydon.

And the ship having been caught, and not able to resist the wind, yielding we were carried away.

And there being much abstinence from food, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, Truly it was fitting, O men, having obeyed me, not to be conveyed from Crete, and gain this violence and damage.

For the messenger of God stood by me in this night, whose I am, and whom I serve,

Saying, Fear not, Paul; Thou must stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has bestowed on thee as a gift all these sailing with thee.

And when it was the fourteenth night, we being carried up and down in Adria, at midnight the sailors supposed some country brought near them;

Wherefore I beseech you to take food: for this is for your salvation: for not a hair of the head of one of you shall fall.

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

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:

And I would not ye should be ignorant, brethren, that many times I proposed to come to you, (and I was hindered till this time,) that I might have some fruit also in you, and in the rest of the nations.

For I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to all believing; both to the Jew first, and the Greek.

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.

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.

Or the abundance of his goodness and forbearance and long suffering dos thou despise; not knowing that the goodness of God brings thee to repentance?

(For not hearers of the law just with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

For when nations, not having the things of the law, by nature do the things of the law, these, not having the law, are law to themselves:

Therefore teaching another, teachest thou not thyself proclaiming not to steal, stealest thou?

Speaking not to commit adultery, committest thou adultery? abhorring images, committest thou sacrilege?

Therefore if uncircumcision watch the justification of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

And shall not uncircumcision by nature, completing the law, judge thee, which by letter and circumcision a transgressor of the law?

For he in appearance, is not a Jew; neither circumcision, in appearance in the flesh:

But he in concealment, a Jew; and circumcision of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose approbation not of man, but of God.

For what if some disbelieved? their unbelief will not leave inactive the faith of God.

It may not be: and let God be true, and every man a liar; as has been written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, and mightest conquer in thy being judged.

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

It may not be: for how shall God judge the world

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 advantage therefore have we? Not in any way: for we before accused both Jews and Greeks, all to be under sin.

As has been written, That there is no just one, not one:

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

And the way of peace they knew not:

The fear of God is not before their eyes.

Or only the God of the Jews? and not also of the nations? Yes, also of the nations:

Therefore shall we leave the law inactive by faith It may not be: but we should establish the law.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has boasting; but not toward God.

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.

A happy man to whom the Lord should not reckon sin.

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

And father of circumcision to them not of circumcision only, but also to them, walking in order in the tracks of the uncircumcision, of the faith of our father Abraham.
