And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,

'The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;

And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,

'Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, 'Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;

And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;

Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas -- Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren --

and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom is also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.

and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.

And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, -- ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;

'Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

and now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.

and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministration,

and they are instructed concerning thee, that apostasy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying -- Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk;

and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried to the castle,

except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them -- Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.'

Therefore those able among you -- saith he -- having come down together, if there be anything in this man -- let them accuse him;'

and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;

especially knowing thee to be acquainted with all things -- both customs and questions -- among Jews; wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently to hear me.

The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth -- which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem -- know do all the Jews,

to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you -- but of the ship;

and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;

through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ;

and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you -- and was hindered till the present time -- that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.

Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest it to them,

Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become --

For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, 'Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'

salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.

And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;

for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming useless,

for yet ye are fleshly, for where there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age -- let him become a fool, that he may become wise,

Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations -- as that one hath the wife of the father! --

and those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil from among yourselves.

unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!

Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather defrauded?

for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe it,

for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;

Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon his face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.

And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?

for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said -- 'I will dwell in them, and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,

And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,

journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;

The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,

to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the hearing of faith is it?

among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,

to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ,

and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,

And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,

and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing -- because our testimony was believed among you -- in that day;

for yourselves have known how it behoveth you to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;

for we hear of certain walking among you disorderly, nothing working, but over working,

and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!

If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion;

Who is wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,

Whence are wars and fightings among you? not thence -- out of your passions, that are as soldiers in your members?

Doth any one suffer evil among you? let him pray; is any of good cheer? let him sing psalms;

is any infirm among you? let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the name of the Lord,

Brethren, if any among you may go astray from the truth, and any one may turn him back,

having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,

Elders who are among you, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,

feed the flock of God that is among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,

And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction,

for in seeing and hearing, the righteous man, dwelling among them, day by day the righteous soul with unlawful works was harassing.

as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto their own destruction.

I did write to the assembly, but he who is loving the first place among them -- Diotrephes -- doth not receive us;

these are they who with women were not defiled, for they are virgin; these are they who are following the Lamb whithersoever he may go; these were bought from among men -- a first-fruit to God and to the Lamb --
