And John responding said, Master, we saw one casting out the demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us. And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for whosoever is not against us is on our side.

And John responded to Him saying, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name, who does not follow us; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us. And Jesus said, Forbid him not. For there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me. For whosoever is not against us, is on our side. read more.
For whosoever may give you a cup of water in my name, because you are Christ's, truly I say unto you, can not lose his reward.

Since then God gave unto them the equal gift, as also unto us, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, to be able to resist God? And hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto life.

And certain ones having come down from Judea were teaching the brethren that, Unless you may be circumcised, according to the custom of Moses, you are not able to be saved. And there being no small contention and disputation to Paul and Barnabas against them, they delegated Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem concerning this question. Then indeed they having been sent away by the church, traveled through both Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles: and they continued to make great joy to all the brethren. read more.
And arriving into Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and the apostles, and the elders, and they proclaimed so many things as God did with them. And certain one of those from the sect of the Pharisees having believed arose up, saying that, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles and elders were convened to see about this problem. And there being much disputation, Peter, having arisen, said to them, Men, brethren, you know that from ancient days God chose among you, that the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel through my mouth, and believe. And God, who knows the heart, witnessed to them, giving to them the Holy Ghost, as also to us; and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 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? But through the grace of our Lord Jesus, we believe that we are saved, in the same manner in which they are also. And the whole multitude became silent, and continued to hear Barnabas and Paul, relating how many miracles and wonders God wrought among the Gentiles through them. And after they became silent, James responded, saying, Men, brethren, hear me. Symeon hath related how God in the first place interposed to take a people from the Gentiles, in His name. And to this corresponds the words of the prophet; as has been written, After these things I will return, and will build again the throne of David, which has fallen down; and will build again the ruins of the same, and will set it up again: in order that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, even all the Gentiles, on whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, who doeth these things known from the beginning. Therefore I judge, that we should not burden those from the Gentiles turning to God: but to command them to abstain from things offered to idols, and from fornication, and from strangulation, and from blood. For Moses from ancient generations, has those preaching him in every city, being read in the synagogues on every Sabbath. Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, along with the whole church, to send men chosen from them into Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas; Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders among the brethren: having written through their hand; The apostles and elders, brethren to the brethren who are from the Gentiles throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia greeting. Since we heard that certain ones having come out from us troubled you, disturbing your souls with words which we did not command: it seemed good to us, being of one accord, having chosen men to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have imperiled their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, themselves also proclaiming the same things by speech. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no more burden than these necessary things, to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which keeping yourselves, you will do well. Fare ye well. Then indeed they, having been sent away, came down into Antioch, and convening the multitude, they delivered the letter. And having read it, they rejoiced over the consolation.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God, which He proclaimed beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures, concerning his Son, having been born of the seed of David according to the flesh; read more.
having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of Jesus Christ our Lord: through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name: among whom ye are also called of Jesus Christ: to all the beloved of God who are in Rome, saints having been called. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise: so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Therefore no flesh shall be justified by works of law: for through law there is a perfect knowledge of sin. And now the righteousness of God without law has been made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; but the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ is unto all who believe: for there is no difference, read more.
for all sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being freely justified by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: whom God sent forth an expiation through faith in his blood, unto the manifestation of His righteousness through the remission of the sins which are passed, in the forbearance of God; unto the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, so that he is just, and justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus. Then where is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith. For we conclude that a man is justified by faith without works of law. Whether is he the God of the Jews only? is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yea, also of the Gentiles: truly there is one God, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. Then do we make void the law through faith? It could not be so: but we establish the law.

Therefore having been justified by faith, let us have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ: through whom we also have access by faith unto this grace in which we stand, and let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

For he is our peace, the one having made both one, and having broken down the middle wall of partition, having destroyed the law of commandments in ordinances, through his flesh, the enmity, in order that He might create the two in himself into one new man, making peace; and that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in. read more.
And having come he preached the gospel of peace to you, who were far away, and peace to them who were nigh:

where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: but Christ is all things, and in all. Therefore, as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on affections of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any one may have a quarrel against any one; as Christ also forgave you, so indeed do you likewise: read more.
and in all these things put on divine love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, in which you are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

And I remembered the word of the Lord, as He said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Since then God gave unto them the equal gift, as also unto us, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, to be able to resist God?

And Peter beginning expounded unto them consecutively, saying, I was praying in the city Joppa: and I saw a vision in an ecstasy, A certain vessel, like a great sheet, descending from the heaven, sitting down by four rope ends; and came even unto me: into which looking, I was investigating, and I saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the birds of the heaven. And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arising, Peter; slay and eat. And I said, By no means, Lord: because nothing unconsecrated or unclean has ever entered into my mouth. And a voice a second time was heard from heaven, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, consider thou not unconsecrated. And this took place three times: and all things were again taken up into the heaven. And, behold, immediately three men were standing at the house in which we were, having been sent to me from Cornelius. And the Spirit said to me, to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren went along with me, and we entered into the house of the man. And he proclaimed to us how he saw an angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter; who will speak words to you, by which you and your whole family may be saved. And when I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, as He said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
