Especially thee, being an expert of all things regarding Jews, both habits and issues. Therefore I beg thee to hear me patiently.

Indeed therefore, my manner of life from youth, having developed from the beginning among my nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know,

And punishing them often at all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And being extraordinarily furious toward them, I persecuted them even as far as to outside cities.

And during which, while going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,

And when we all fell to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.

But arise, and stand upon thy feet, for I appeared to thee for this, to appoint thee an assistant and a witness both of things that thou saw, and of the things that I will make visible to thee,

but declaring first to those at Damascus and then at Jerusalem, and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, to repent and return to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

And while he made a defense by these things, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, thou are mad. Much scholarship is driving thee into madness.

And Paul said, I ever pray to God, both by little and by much, not only thee, but also all who hear me this day, to become such kind as I also am, apart from these bonds.

And when neither sun nor stars appeared for more days, and no small storm laying on, all remaining hope for us to be saved was taken away.

And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.

saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.

Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.

And until day was going to develop, Paul urged them all to partake of food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day, waiting, ye continue without food, having taken nothing.

Therefore I encourage you to take of food, for this is for your safety. For not a hair will fall from the head of one of you.

And having said these things, and having taken bread, he expressed thanks to God in the presence of all. And having broke in pieces, he began to eat.

And they all, having become encouraged, also took food.

And all the souls in the ship were two hundred seventy-six.

and the remaining, some on boards, and some on any of the things from the ship. And so it came to pass for all to be saved to the land.

And the foreigners presented uncommon kindness to us, for, having kindled a fire, they received us all because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

And when the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to each other, Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, though saved from the sea, Justice did not allow to live.

who also honored us with many honorariums. And while putting out to sea, they furnished the things for our necessities.

And being discord among each other, they departed after Paul spoke one thing, saying, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

saying, Go thou to this people, and say, Hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.

Be it known to you therefore, that the salvation of God was sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired lodging. And he received all who came in to him,

preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations on behalf of his name,

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

Truly, I first express thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

pleading, if somehow now at last I will have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith for faith, just as it is written, And the righteous man will live from faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all irreverence and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity;

And think thou this, O man who judge those who do such things and do the same, that thou will escape the judgment of God?

who will render to each man according to his works,

For as many as have sinned without law will also be destroyed without law, and as many as have sinned in law will be judged by law.

For the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law will be made righteous.

and know his will, and approve the things that are significant, being instructed out of the law.

If therefore a man of uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the law, will not his uncircumcision be considered circumcision?

And the man of natural uncircumcision who fulfills the law, will judge thee, a transgressor of law through a document and circumcision.

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the assurance of God ineffective?

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous inflicting wrath? (I speak according to a man.)

May it not happen! Otherwise how will God judge the world?

What then? Are we better? Not at all. For we already charged both Jews and Greeks to all be under sin,

All turned away. Together they became useless. There is not a man who does goodness; there is not as much as one.

Now we know that as many things as the law says, it says to those in the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become accountable to God.

Because from works of law no flesh will be made right before him, for through law is knowledge of sin.

And the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ is for all and upon all those who believe, for there is no distinction.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

since God is one, who will make the man of circumcision righteous from faith, and the man of uncircumcision through faith.

What then will we say Abraham, our father according to flesh, to have found?

And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of his faith during uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those who believe during uncircumcision (for righteousness to also be imputed to them),

Because of this it is from faith, so that it is according to grace, in order for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to the seed from the law, but also to the seed from the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all

Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be.

For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.

For scarcely for a righteous man will some man die, indeed perhaps for the good man some man would even dare to die.

But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, now having been made righteous by his blood, we will be saved from the wrath through him.

For if, while being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled we will be saved by his life.

Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, in that all sinned.

For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men.

For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.

What will we say then? We continue in sin so that grace may abound?

May it not happen! How will we who died to sin, still live in it?

For if we have become co-planted in the likeness of his death, then we will also be of the resurrection.

And if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

for sin will not have dominion over you. For ye are not under law, but under grace.

So then, of the living husband, she will be called an adulteress if she becomes to another man, but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, for her not to be an adulteress having become to another man.

What will we say then? The law is sin? May it not happen! Yet I did not know sin except through law. For likewise I would not have known lust, if the law did not say, Thou shall not covet.

For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, for to will is present in me, but to do the good, I find not.

I am a wretched man. Who will rescue me out of the body of this death?

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.

Because the creation itself will also be freed from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation is groaning and travailing together until now.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to purpose.

What then will we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

He who did not even spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?

Who will accuse against the chosen of God? God is he who makes righteous.

Who is he who will condemn? It is Christ who died, but more, who also was raised up, who also is at the right hand of God, who also appeals for us.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or restriction, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Just as it is written, For thy sake we are killed the whole day long. We are considered as sheep of slaughter.

But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

of whom are the fathers, and from whom (according to flesh) is the Christ, God who is over all is blessed into the ages. Truly.

But it is not as that the word of God has failed. For all those from Israel, these are not Israel,

nor, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children, rather, In Isaac a seed will be called for thee.

For this is the word of promise: At this time I will come, and there will be a son by Sarah.

it was said to her, The older will serve the younger.

What will we say then? Is there injustice from God? May it not happen!

For he says to Moses, I will be merciful to whom I may be merciful, and I will be compassionate to whomever I may be compassionate.

For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this same thing I raised thee up, that I might display in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

So then he is merciful to whom he will, and whom he will he hardens.

Thou will say to me therefore, Why does he still find fault? For who has resisted his purpose?

Rather, O man, who are thou answering back to God? No, will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did thou make me this way?

As also he says in Hosea, I will call those not my people, my people, and her who was not beloved, beloved.

And it will be in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there they will be called, sons of the living God.

And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved.
