Then for this cause I have called you, to see you, and talk to you: for on account of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

for which I am an ambassador in chain; in order that in it I may preach boldly, as it behooves me to speak.

May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because frequently he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

And I saw an angel coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain on his hand.

Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

And the weeping of all was great, and falling on the neck of Paul, they continued to kiss him copiously,

who laid down their neck for my life; and for whom not I alone hut all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;

But whosoever may offend one of these little ones, who believe in me, it is good for him that a millstone may be hanged to his neck, and he may be drowned in the depth of the sea.

Whosoever may offend one of these little ones who believe in me, rather is it good for him, if a millstone is hung about his neck, and he may be cast into the sea.

And having risen, he came to his father. And he being yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck, and kissed him copiously.

it is good for him if a millstone is hung around his neck, and he is cast into the sea, rather than that he may offend one of these little ones.

because frequently he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were slipped off by him, and the fetters torn to pieces.
