When the day of Pentecost was being celebrated, all of them were together in one place.

They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated, and one rested on each of them.

When that sound came, a crowd quickly gathered, startled because each one heard the disciples speaking in his own language.

When we completed our voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, greeted the brothers there, and stayed with them for one day.

The next day, we left and came to Caesarea. We went to the home of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven, and stayed with him.

After greeting them, Paul related one by one the things that God had done among the gentiles through his ministry.

"He told me, "I'm Jesus from Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.' The men who were with me saw the light but didn't understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

"Then he said, "The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear his own voice,

unless it is for the one thing I shouted as I stood among them: "It is for the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.'"

If I'm guilty and have done something that deserves death, I'm willing to die. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can hand me over to them as a favor. I appeal to the emperor!"

When the people who lived there saw the snake hanging from his hand, they told one another, "This man must be a murderer! He may have escaped from the sea, but Justice won't let him live."

For this reason, God delivered them to sexual impurity as they followed the lusts of their hearts and dishonored their bodies with one another.

For this reason, God delivered them to degrading passions as their females exchanged their natural sexual function for one that is unnatural.

In the same way, their males also abandoned their natural sexual function toward females and burned with lust toward one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received within themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion.

Therefore, you have no excuse every one of you who judges. For when you pass judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, practice the very same things.

As it is written, "Not even one person is righteous.

No one understands. No one searches for God.

All have turned away. They have become completely worthless. No one shows kindness, not even one person!

since there is only one God who will justify the circumcised on the basis of faith and the uncircumcised by that same faith.

However, to someone who does not work, but simply believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

but also for us. Our faith will be regarded in the same way, if we believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned.

Nevertheless, death ruled from the time of Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed. He is a foreshadowing of the one who would come.

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.

For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah!

Consequently, just as one offense resulted in condemnation for everyone, so one act of righteousness results in justification and life for everyone.

For just as through one man's disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man's obedience many people will be made righteous.

Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

In the same way, my brothers, through the Messiah's body you also died as far as the Law is concerned, so that you may belong to another person, the one who was raised from the dead, and may bear fruit for God.

At one time I was alive without any connection to the Law. But when the rule was revealed, sin sprang to life,

As it is, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that is living in me.

But if I do what I don't want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that is living in me.

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.

because the creation has become subject to futility, though not by anything it did. The one who subjected it did so in the certainty

and the one who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to God's will.

The one who did not spare his own Son, but offered him as a sacrifice for all of us, surely will give us all things, along with his Son, won't he?

Who is the one to condemn? It is the Messiah Jesus who is interceding on our behalf. He died, and more importantly, has been raised and is seated at the right hand of God.

In all these things we are triumphantly victorious due to the one who loved us.

To the Israelis belong the patriarchs, and from them, the Messiah descended, who is God over all, the one who is forever blessed. Amen.

For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you not to think of yourself more highly than you should think, rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.

For we have many parts in one body, but these parts do not all have the same function.

In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in the Messiah and individual parts connected to each other.

Do not owe anyone anything except to love one another. For the one who loves another has fulfilled the Law.
