And when the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I myself also was standing near and was approving, and was guarding the cloaks of those who were killing him.'

Then immediately those who were about to examine him kept away from him, and the military tribune also was afraid [when he] realized that he was a Roman citizen and that {he had tied him up}.

And the next night the Lord stood by him [and] said, "Have courage, for as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."

And [when it] was made known to me there would be a plot against the man, I sent [him] to you immediately, also ordering [his] accusers to speak against him before you.

{The horsemen}, [when they] came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.

he said, "I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers arrive also," giving orders [for] him to be guarded in the praetorium of Herod.

And the Jews also joined in the attack, asserting these [things] were so.

having a hope in God which these [men] also themselves await: [that] there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

{For this reason} also myself {always} do my best to have a clear conscience toward God and people.

At the same time he was also hoping that money would be given to him by Paul. For this reason also he sent for him as often as possible [and] talked with him.

But Paul said, "I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where it is necessary [for] me to be judged. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.

So Agrippa [said] to Festus, "I want to hear the man myself also." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."

which I also did in Jerusalem, and not only did I lock up many of the saints in prison, having received authority from the chief priests, but also [when] they were being executed, I cast [my] vote against [them].

For the king knows about these [things], to whom also I am speaking freely, for I am not convinced [that] these [things] in any way have escaped his notice, because this {was} not {done} in a corner.

And Paul [replied], "I pray to God, whether in a short time or in a long time, not only you but also all those who are listening to me today may become such [people] as I also am, except for these bonds!"

saying to them, "Men, I perceive that the voyage is going {to end} with disaster and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives!"

And [after] this had taken place, the rest of those on the island who had diseases were coming and being healed also.

They also honored us with many honors, and [when we] were putting out to sea, they gave [us] the [things] {we needed}.

Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They also will listen!"

among whom you also are [the] called of Jesus Christ.

Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that often I intended to come to you, and was prevented until now, in order that I might have some fruit among you also, just as also among the rest of the Gentiles.

Thus {I am eager} to proclaim the gospel also to you who [are] in Rome.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

and likewise also the males, abandoning the natural relations with the female, were inflamed in their desire toward one another, males with males committing the shameless deed, and receiving in themselves the penalty that was necessary for their error.

who, [although they] know the requirements of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do they do the same [things], but also they approve of those who do [them].

For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

But if by my lying, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still condemned as a sinner?

Or [is God] the God of the Jews only? [Is he] not also [the God] of the Gentiles? Yes, also of the Gentiles,

just as David also speaks about the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Therefore, [is] this blessing for {those who are circumcised}, or also for {those who are uncircumcised}? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."

and the father {of those who are circumcised} to those who are not only from the circumcision, but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham {which he had while uncircumcised}.

Because of this, [it is] by faith, in order that [it may be] according to grace, so that the promise may be secure to all the descendants, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

and being fully convinced that what he had promised, he was also able to do.

but also for the sake of us to whom it is going to be credited, to those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

through whom also we have [obtained] access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

And not only [this], but we also boast in our afflictions, [because we] know that affliction produces patient endurance,

And not only [this], but also [we are] boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death spread to all people because all sinned.

Consequently therefore, as through one trespass [came] condemnation to all people, so also through one righteous deed [came] justification of life to all people.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous.

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may live {a new way of life}.

For if we have become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, certainly also we will be [identified with him in the likeness] of [his] resurrection,

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

So also you, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

So then, my brothers, you also were brought to death with respect to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.

and if children, also heirs--heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together [with him] so that we may also be glorified together [with him].

that the creation itself also will be set free from its servility to decay, into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Not only [this], but we ourselves also, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves [while we] await eagerly [our] adoption, the redemption of our body.

And likewise also, the Spirit helps [us] in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as one ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes [for us] [with] unexpressed groanings.

because [those] whom he foreknew, he also predestined [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be the firstborn among many brothers.

And [those] whom he predestined, these [he] also called, and [those] whom he called, these [he] also justified, and [those] whom he justified, these [he] also glorified.

Indeed, [he] who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, together with him, freely give us all [things]?

Who [is] the one who condemns? Christ [is] the one who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

And not only [this], but also [when] Rebecca conceived children by one [man], Isaac our father--

us whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

As he also says in Hosea, "I will call those [who were] not my people, 'My people,' and those [who were] not loved, 'Loved.'

Therefore I say, God has not rejected his people, has he? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, from the descendants of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

So in this way also at the present time, there is a remnant {selected by grace}.

Now if the first fruits [are] holy, [so] also [is] the [whole] batch of dough, and if the root [is] holy, [so] also [are] the branches.

See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity upon those who have fallen, but upon you the kindness of God--if you continue in his kindness, for otherwise you also will be cut off.

And those also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, because God is able to graft them in again.

so also these have now been disobedient for your mercy, in order that they also may now be shown mercy.

Therefore [it is] necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.

For because of this you also pay taxes, for [the authorities] are servants of God, busily engaged in this very [thing].

But why do you judge your brother? Or also, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

Therefore accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, to the glory of God.

Now I myself also am convinced about you, my brothers, that [you] yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to instruct one another.

For this reason also I was hindered many [times] from coming to you,

For they were pleased [to do so], and they are obligated to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual [things], they ought also to serve them in material [things].

Now I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is also a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

in order that you may welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever task she may have need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, even me myself.

who risked their own necks for my life, for which not only I am thankful, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;

also [greet] the church in their house. Greet Epenetus my dear [friend], who is {the first convert} of Asia for Christ.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my compatriots and my fellow prisoners, who are well known to the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know if I baptized anyone else.)

For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? Thus also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

[things] which we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in [words] taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual [things] to spiritual [people].

Already you are satiated! Already you are rich! Apart from us you reign as kings! And would that indeed you reigned as kings, in order that we also might reign as kings with you!

The husband must fulfill his obligation to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband [does]. And likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife [does].

I am not saying these [things] according to a human perspective. Or does the law not also say these [things]?

In the [same] way also the Lord ordered those who proclaim the gospel to live from the gospel.

Now these [things] happened [as] examples for us, so that we should not be desirers of evil [things], just as those also desired [them],

Temptation has not come upon you except [what is] common to humanity. But God [is] faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will also make a way out together with the temptation, [so that you] may be able to endure [it].

just as I also please all [people] in all [things], not seeking my own benefit, but the [benefit] of the many, in order that they may be saved.

Become imitators of me, just as I also [am] of Christ.

For just as the woman [is] from the man, thus also the man [is] through the woman. But all [things] [are] from God.

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

Likewise also the cup, after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink [it], in remembrance of me."

For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, [although they] are many, are one body, thus also Christ.

For now we see through a mirror {indirectly}, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know completely, just as I have also been completely known.

In this way also you, since you are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek for the edification of the church, in order that you may abound.

{Therefore what should I do}? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will also sing praise with my mind.

the women must be silent in the churches, for it is not permitted for them to speak, but they must be in submission, just as the law also says.

Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed to you, which you have also received, in which you also stand,

by which you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the message I proclaimed to you, unless you believed to no purpose.

For I passed on to you {as of first importance} what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
