unto which promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

how that the Christ must suffer, and how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.

And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east.

and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

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

For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.

But we must be cast upon a certain island.

And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.

But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves .

But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him.

saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; even Jesus Christ our Lord,

among whom are ye also called to be Jesus Christ's:

To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be'saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:

to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:

but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness,'shall be wrath and indignation,

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:

(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:

because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;

for the showing, I say , of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.

Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.

We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;

For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be.

but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him.

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;

But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many.

For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.

For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him , that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;

For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.

and the commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death:

Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; --that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:

But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified with him .

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;

For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, even by our father Isaac--

For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.

So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth.

And it shall be, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.

And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:

Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

Brethren, my heart's desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
