both in all ways and in all places, are we accepting it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

But I confess, this, unto thee, - That, according to the Way which they call a Sect, so, I am rendering divine service unto my father's God, believing in all the things which, throughout the law, and those which, in the prophets, are written:

And Felix deferred them, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, - saying - As soon as, Lysias the captain, hath come down, I will give judgment as to your affairs, -

And, as he was reasoning of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix, becoming greatly afraid, answered - For the present, be going thy way, and, when I find an opportunity, I will send for thee, -

asking for themselves as a favour against him, that he would send for him unto Jerusalem, - making, an ambush, to kill him on the way.

But, as the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar, - not as though, against my nation, I had anything to bring by way of accusation.

saying - Go thy way unto this people, and say - Ye shall, surely hear, and yet will in nowise understand. And, surely see, and yet will in nowise perceive;

At all times in my prayers, - making supplication - if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;

Unto them, on the one hand, who, by way of endurance in good work, are seeking, glory, honour and incorruption, life age-abiding,

Much, every way: - First, indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

Destruction and misery, are in their ways,

And, the way of peace, have they not known:

Now, unto him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned by way of favour but by way of obligation,

For this cause, it is by faith, in order that it may be by way of favour, so that the promise is firm unto all the seed, - not unto that by the law only, but unto that also which is such by the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all, -

In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness, - for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable,

They, in fact, not being yet born, nor having practised anything good or bad, - in order that the purpose of God by way of election might stand, - not by works but by him that was calling,

Thus, then, in the present season also, a remnant, by way of an election of favour, hath come into being.

Oh! the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments! and untraceable his ways!

For this cause, sent I unto you, Timothy, - who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put, you, in mind of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, even as, everywhere, in every assembly, I teach.

This, however I am saying, by way of concession, not of injunction;

But, these things, by way of type, were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition, unto whom, the ends of the ages, have reached along.

Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out: -

But, now, brethren - if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit, you, except I speak, unto you, either by way of revelation, or knowledge, or prophesying, or teaching?

For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you, - if, the Lord, permit.

On every side, pressed hard, but not hemmed in, without a way, but not without a by-way,

Howbeit, by way of the like recompense - as, unto children, I speak, be enlarged, even, ye.

For, even when we came into Macedonia, no relief at all, had our flesh; but, in every way, were we in tribulation, - without, fightings! within, fears!

For lo! this very thing - the being caused to grieve, according to God: - what manner of diligence it wrought out in you, - nay! defence, - nay! sore displeasure, - nay! fear, - nay! earnest desire, - nay! jealousy, - nay! avenging. In every way, ye shewed yourselves to be, chaste, in the matter.

Not by way of injunction, do I speak, but through, others', earnestness, and, the genuineness of your own love, putting to the test.

And, even if uncultured in my discourse, certainly not in my knowledge, - but, in every way, having made it manifest, in all things, unto you.

By way of disparagement, am I speaking, - as though, we, had been weak! whereas, in whatsoever anyone dareth, in foolishness I speak, I also, dare: -

How that, by way of revelation, was made known unto me the sacred secret, - even as I before wrote in brief, -

Out of whom all the body - fitly framing itself together, and connecting itself, through means of every joint of supply, by way of energising in the measure of each single part - secureth the growing of the body, unto an upbuilding of itself in love.

Not by way of eye-service as man-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God, from the soul,

What then? That, in any way, whether in pretext, or in truth, Christ, is declared, and, in this, I rejoice - yea, and will rejoice!

Nothing by way of faction, nothing by way of vain-glory, - but, in lowliness of mind, accounting, one another, superior to yourselves, -

I know what it is even to be kept low, and I know what it is to have more than enough, - in every way, and in all things, have I been let into the secret - both to be well fed, and to be hungering, both to have more than enough, and to be coming short:

The which things, indeed, though they have, an appearance, of wisdom, in self-devised religious observance, and lowliness of mind, and ill-treatment of body, are, in no honourable way, unto a satisfying of the flesh.

Now may, our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus, make straight our way unto you:

Howbeit, we charge you, brethren, - that, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, ye be withdrawing yourselves from every brother - who, in a disorderly way, doth walk, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.

We hear, in fact, of some who are walking among you in a disorderly way, at nothing, working, yet too busily working!

But may, the Lord of peace himself, give you peace, always, in every way. The Lord, be with you all.

In the same way, that, the women, in seemly attire, with modesty and sober-mindedness, be adorning themselves, - not with plaitings and ornamentation of gold, or with pearls, or with costly apparel, -

Ministers, in the same way, - dignified, not double-tongued, not, to much wine, given, not greedy of base gain,

Wives, in the same way, - dignified, not given to intrigue, sober, faithful in all things.

In the same way, the noble works also, are openly evident, - and, they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.

And, their discourse, as a gangrene, will eat its way; - of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

But they shall not force their way further, for, their folly, shall be, fully evident, unto all, - as also, that of those men, became.

Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, -

The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:

Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, do thou diligently set forward on their way, in order that, nothing, unto them, may be wanting.

Whereas, in many parts and in many ways of old, God spake unto the fathers, in the prophets,

and - Thou, by way of beginning, Lord, the earth, didst found, and, the works of thy hands, are the heavens, -

Whence he was obliged, in every way, unto the brethren, to be made like, that he might become a merciful and faithful high-priest, in the things pertaining unto God, - for the making of propitiation for the sins of the people.

Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; - howbeit, they, learned not my ways:

For we have not a high-priest unable to have fellow-feeling with our weaknesses, but one tested in all respects, by way of likeness, apart from sin.

For, men, by the greater one, swear, and, with them, an end of all gainsaying by way of confirmation is, the oath:

The Holy Spirit making this evident - that, not yet, hath been manifested, the way through the Holy place, so long as the first tent hath a standing.

Which entrance he hath consecrated for us, as a way recent and living, through the veil, that is, his flesh, -

By faith, Noah, having received intimation concerning the things not yet seen, filled with reverence, prepared an ark to the saving of his house - through which he condemned the world, and, of the righteousness by way of faith, became heir.

Without fondness for money, be your way of life, - being content with the present things, - for, he, hath said: In nowise, thee, will I leave, no indeed! in nowise, thee, will I forsake:

For we have not here an abiding city, but, unto that which is to be, are we seeking our way.

A two-souled man, unstable in all his ways.

And, in like manner also, Rahab the harlot, Was it not, by works, she was declared righteous, when she gave welcome unto the messengers, and, by another way, urged them forth?

Be ye taking note - that, he that turneth back a sinner out of the error of his way - will save his soul out of death, and hide a multitude of sins.

For, sufficient, is the bygone time - to have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine-drinkings, revellings, drinking-bouts, and impious idolatries: -

And, many, will follow out their wanton ways, - by reason of whom, the way of truth, will be defamed,

Most of all, however, them who go their way, after the flesh, with a coveting of defilement, and who despise, lordship, - daring! willful! before dignitaries, they tremble not, defaming,

Forsaking a straight path, they have gone astray, following out the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved, a reward of wrong,

For, great swelling words of vanity, uttering, they entice with carnal covetings - in wanton ways - them who are, well-nigh, escaping from the men who, in error, have their behaviour;

For, better, had it been for them - not to have obtained a personal knowledge of the way of righteousness, than, having obtained such knowledge, to turn back out of the holy commandment delivered unto them.

This, already, beloved, is the second letter I am writing unto you; and, in these letters, I am stirring up - by way of calling to remembrance - your uncorrupted mind,

Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons, ought yeall the while to be, in holy ways of behaviour and acts of godliness, -

Beloved! If, in this way, God, loved us, we also, ought to love, one another.

Alas for them! because - in the way of Cain have they gone, and, in the error of Balaam's wage, have they run riot, and, in the gainsaying of Korah, have they perished.

and they sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying - Great and marvelous, are thy works, Lord, God, the Almighty! Righteous and true, are thy ways, O King of the ages!

And, the sixth, poured out his bowl upon the great river: theEuphrates; and the water thereof, was dried up, that the way might be prepared, of the kings who were from the rising of the sun.
