Some of them, however, were Cyprians and Cyrenaeans, who, on reaching Antioch, began to tell the Greeks also the Good News concerning the Lord Jesus.

They had John Mark as an assistant; and after going through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain Jewish sorcerer and false prophet, named Bar-Jesus,

"Of this man's descendants God has brought unto Israel, according to his promise, a Savior, Jesus;

"how that God fulfilled it for us their children in raising up Jesus; as it is also written in the second Psalm, "Thou art my son, today have I become thy Father.

"On the contrary we believe that it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that we and they shall be saved."

"men who have risked their very lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When they got as far as Mysia, they attempted to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit it;

She persisted in this for many days, until Paul, worn out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her." In that very hour it came out of her.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus," they answered, "and you will be saved, you and all your household."

explaining and quoting passages to prove that the Messiah had to suffer and to rise again from the dead and that "This Jesus whom I am proclaiming unto you is the Messiah."

"Jason has received them, and they all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus."

A few of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also encountered him again and again. Some were saying, "What has this beggarly fellow to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a setter forth of strange gods," because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

And when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was engrossed in his message, earnestly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

He had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and being full of zeal, he used to speak and to teach accurately the facts about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public argument, proving to them from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.

"John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance," answered Paul, "telling the people to believe on One who was coming after him, namely, on Jesus."

When they heard this they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;

But there were also some strolling Jewish exorcists, who took it upon them to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches."

But the evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I have heard of, but who are you?"

And this became known to all the people of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. Awe fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus began to be held in honor.

testifying both to Jews and Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

But I hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, if only I may run my race, and accomplish the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to attest the gospel of the grace of God.

"In all things I have set you an example, how that so toiling, you ought to help the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."

"What do you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief?" answered Paul. "For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus."

"'Who are you, Lord?' I asked. "'I am Jesus, the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting,' he answered me.

Some days later Felix came, with his wife Drusilla, a Jewess; he sent for Paul, and listened to him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

but they kept quarreling with him about certain matters connected with their own religion, and about one Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed over and over was alive.

"I indeed once thought with myself that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus, the Nazarene.

"'Who are you, Lord?' I said." And the Lord said: 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.

So they arranged a day with him and came to him in his lodgings in great numbers. He expounded the matter to them; testifying to the Kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, from morning till evening, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

He continued to preach the kingdom of God, and to teach about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, quite unmolested.

From Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for a gospel of God,

this gospel is concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of David's posterity in respect of his bodily nature,

It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his name's sake;

among whom you also are called to be Jesus Christ's.

To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace.

First I thank my God, through Jesus Christ, for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout all the world.

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

I mean a righteousness coming from God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all who believe. For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile,

but they are now being justified by his free grace through the deliverance that is in Christ Jesus.

I say, at this present time; that he himself might be just, and yet the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

For it will be "reckoned for righteousness." to us also, who believe on him that raised from the dead our Lord Jesus;

Since we stand justified as the result of faith, let us continue to enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And not only that, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained our reconciliation.

But the free gift is not like the transgression; for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died, much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow unto the rest of men.

For if through the transgression of the one, death reigned as king through the one, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One, through Jesus Christ.

in order that as sin has ruled as king in death, so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord,??urs!

For do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?

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

FOR THE POOR WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR MASTER.

Oh, thank God! it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my will am in thralldom to the law of God; yet in my animal nature I am in thralldom to the law of sin.

Thus there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also make your dying bodily self live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives.

Nor height, nor depth, Nor any other created thing, Shall be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God actually raised him from the dead, and you will be saved.

For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, because the same Lord Jesus is all over, and is rich unto all who call upon Him;

But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, And make no provisions for your earthly nature And the gratification of its lusts.

I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is in itself unclean; but any food is "unclean" for one who considers it "unclean."

Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be in full sympathy with one another, in accordance with the example of Jesus Christ;

so that with one heart and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Still I have written unto you the more boldly, in part, by way of reminding you, because of that gift of grace which God bestowed upon me, in making me a priest of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles.

I have then my boast in Christ Jesus concerning the things of God.

Brothers, I beseech you, by Jesus Christ our Lord, and by the love which the Spirit gives, to help me in my struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf,

Salute Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow laborers in the cause of Jesus Christ,

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all!

Now I commend you to Him who is able to keep you stedfast, according to my gospel, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, whereby is unveiled the secret truth which was kept secret through immemorial ages,

Unto Him, the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever. Amen.

Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, his brother.

to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.

Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;

so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreproveable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper.

It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.

For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ Jesus, you can have but one father. For in Christ Jesus I begot you through the gospel.

For I, although absent in body, yet present in spirit, have already passed sentence, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, on him who has done this thing.

When you are gathered together, and my spirit is with you together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

yet for there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

For I passed on to you the account, which I myself received from the Lord; how the Lord Jesus, on the very night he was betrayed, took bread,

Wherefore I want you to understand that no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

Every day I am facing death, my brothers, I affirm it by that pride in you which I have through Christ Jesus our Lord.

But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,

as some indeed did recognize in part at last, that I am your cause of boasting, just as you will be mine on the Day of Jesus our Lord.

For Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was proclaimed among you by us, that is, by Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not wavering between "Yes" and "No," but in him is the everlasting "Yes."

It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus' sake.

Wherever I go, I am always carrying about in my body the dying of Jesus, in order that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in this body of mine.

For, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh.

For I know that He who raised from the dead the Lord Jesus, will raise me also with Jesus, and set me at your side in his presence.
