And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pomp, and were entered into the place of audience, with the tribunes and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought forth.

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all ye who are present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have pleaded with me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out, that he ought not to live any longer.

And as they were going away, they spake one to another, saying, This man doth nothing worthy of death, or of bonds.

And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cesar.

And when the barbarians saw the venomous animal hanging on his hand, they said one to another, Doubtless this man is a murderer, whom though he hath escaped the sea, vengeance hath not suffered to live.

And near that place was the estate of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who receiving us into his house, entertained us courteously three days.

Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things that relate to the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, no man forbidding him.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who detain the truth in unrighteousness.

And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image in the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of four-footed creatures and reptiles.

Amen. Therefore God gave them up to vile affections; for even their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature: And likewise also the men,

leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their lust toward each other, men with men working filthiness, and receiving in themselves the just recompence of their error.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for wherein thou judgest the other, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost the same things.

And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest them that do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

tribulation and anguish, Even upon every soul of man who worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also the Gentile:

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

Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that proclaimest, a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Thou that sayst, a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

God forbid: let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

I speak as a man. God forbid; for then how should God judge the world?

Nay, but by the law of faith. We conclude then, that a man is justified by faith, without the works of the law.

So David also describeth the happiness of the man, to whom God imputeth righteousness without works:

Happy is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Now one will scarce die for a just man: yet perhaps for the good man one would even dare to die.

Therefore as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin, even so death passed upon all men, in that all had sinned.

Yet not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if by the offence of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, that of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

For if through one man's offence death reigned by one, they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall much more reign in life, by one, even Jesus Christ.

As therefore by one offence the sentence of death came upon all men to condemnation, so also by one righteousness the free gift came upon all men to justification of life.

For as by the disobedience of one man, many were constituted sinners, so by the obedience of one, many shall be constituted righteous.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer serve sin.

I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. As ye have presented your members servants to uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity, so now present your members servants of righteousness, unto holiness.

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as it liveth?

Therefore if she marry another man while her husband liveth, she will be called an adultress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so as to be no adultress, though she marry another man.

For I delight in the law of God, after the inward man.

Wretched man that I am!

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man seeth, how doth he yet hope for?

And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man,

For who hath resisted his will? Nay, but who art thou, O man, that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, The man who doth these things shall live by them.

For with the heart man believeth to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.

But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

Mind not high, but condescend to low things. Be not wise in your own conceit. Render to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Dearly beloved, revenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Owe no man any thing, but to love another; for he that loveth another, hath fulfilled the law.

One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike; let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

And he that in these serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure: but it is evil to that man who eateth with offence.

But I have striven, so to preach the gospel, not where Christ had been named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.

Salute Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore on your behalf; but I would have you wise with regard to that which is good, and simple with regard to that which is evil.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Behold your calling brethren: that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:

That your faith might not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit; for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the spiritual man discerneth all things, while he himself is discerned by no man.

For ye are still carnal: for while there is among you emulation, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?

and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

For other foundation can no man lay, than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ: And if any one build on this foundation, gold, silver, costly stones;

If any man destroy the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Therefore let none glory in men; for all things are yours:

Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

But it is a very small thing with me, to be judged by you or by any man's judgment; yea, I judge not myself.

These things, brethren, I have by a figure transferred to myself and Apollos, for your sakes; that ye may learn in us, not to think of men above what is here written, that ye may not be puffed up for one above another.

For I think God hath set forth us the apostles last, as appointed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

I speak to your shame. What, is there not so much as one wise man among you, that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote to me, It is good for a man, not to touch a woman.

Yet, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife; and let every woman have her own husband.

But I say this by way of advice, not by way of precept. For I would that all men were even as myself:

Ye are bought with a price; do not become the servants of men.

I apprehend therefore, that this is good for the present distress, that it is good for a man to continue as he is.

The unmarried man careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.

But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some do even until now, with consciousness of the idol, eat it as sacrificed to the idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

Do I speak these things as a man? Doth not the law also speak the same?

But I have used none of these things; nor have I written thus, that it might be done so unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make this my glorying void.

For though I am free from all men, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.

To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak: I became all things to all men, that by all means I might save some.

There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above your ability, but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many that they may be saved.

But I would have you know, that the head of the woman is the man, and the head of every man is Christ, and the head of Christ is God.

Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

A man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the sake of the man.

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

And as the woman was of the man, so also the man is by the woman; but all things are of God.

Doth not nature itself teach you, that for a man to have long hair, is a disgrace to him?

Therefore let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

When I was a child, I talked as a child, I understood as a child, I reasoned as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one understandeth him, though by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries:

Whereas he that prophesieth, speaketh to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: in wickedness be ye as infants, but in understanding be ye grown men.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all men.
