Now when
Festus was
come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
Three days after his arrival in the province,
Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and
accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders
come down with me and
accuse him there.”
And when he had
tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat
commanded Paul to be brought.
After
spending no more than eight or ten days with them,
Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.
And when he was
come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and
grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I
offended any thing at all.
Then Paul made his
defense: “I have
committed no
offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
For if I be an
offender, or have
committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things
whereof these
accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
If, however, I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is no truth to their accusations against me, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Therefore, when they were
come hither, without any delay on the
morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and
commanded the man to be brought forth.
So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.

And on the
morrow, when
Agrippa was
come, and
Bernice, with great
pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at
Festus’
commandment Paul was brought forth.
The next day
Agrippa and
Bernice came with great
pomp and entered the
auditorium, along with the
commanders and leading men of the city. And
Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.
And
Festus said, King
Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Then
Festus said, “King
Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish
community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
But I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and since he has now appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.
Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to
come. For which hope’s sake, king
Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

realize as they earnestly serve God day and night. It is because of this hope, O king, that I am accused by the Jews.

shining around me and my
companions.
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and
scarce were
come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under
Crete, over against Salmone;

impeded us, we sailed to the
lee of
Crete, opposite Salmone.
And because the

haven of
Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

coming on, Paul
besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the
fourteenth day that ye have
tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the
rudder bands, and hoised up the

hoisted the
foresail to the wind and made for the
beach.

centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and

swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no
harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
The islanders were expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.

apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that
comes from faith.
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that
oftentimes I purposed to
come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I
planned to
come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their
lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with
lust for one another. Men
committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also
approve of those who practice them.
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
But he is a
Jew, which is one inwardly; and
circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
No, a man is a
Jew because he is one inwardly, and
circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not
come from men, but from God.
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
But if our unrighteousness
commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh
vengeance? (I speak as a man)
But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to
inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
And not rather, (as we be
slanderously reported, and as some
affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may
come? whose
damnation is just.
Why not say, as some
slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their
condemnation is deserved!
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
For all have
sinned, and
come short of the glory of God;
for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Whom God hath set forth to be a
propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God;
Cometh this blessedness then upon the
circumcision only, or upon the
uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Is this blessing only on the
circumcised, or also on the
uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Therefore, the promise
comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be
guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not
sinned after the
similitude of Adam’s
transgression, who is the figure of him that was to
come.
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam
transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to
come.
But God be
thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
But
thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were
committed.
But sin, taking occasion by the
commandment, wrought in me all manner of
concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
But sin, seizing its opportunity through the
commandment, produced in me every kind of
covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the
commandment came, sin
sprang to life and I died.
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
For sin, taking occasion by the
commandment,
deceived me, and by it
slew me.
For sin, seizing its opportunity through the
commandment,
deceived me and through the
commandment put me to death.
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God
forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the
commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
For I
reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to
come,
For I am
convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor
principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
For this is the word of promise, At this time will I
come, and
Sarah shall have a son.
For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and
Sarah will have a son.”
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I will have
compassion.
For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I have
compassion.”
Hath not the
potter power over the clay, of the same
lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Does not the
potter have the right to make from the same
lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for
common use?
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
I say then, Have they
stumbled that they should fall? God
forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is
come unto the Gentiles, for to
provoke them to jealousy.
I ask then, did they
stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their
trespass, salvation has
come to the Gentiles to make Israel
jealous.
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the
fulness of the Gentiles be
come in.
I do not want you to be ignorant of this
mystery, brothers, so that you will not be
conceited: A
hardening in part has
come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has
come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall
come out of
Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob:
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will
come from
Zion; He will remove
godlessness from Jacob.
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the
company of the lowly. Do not be
conceited.
For this, Thou shalt not
commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not
steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not
covet; and if there be any other
commandment, it is briefly
comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to
awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has
come for you to
wake up from your
slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
For
whatsoever things were written
aforetime were written for our learning, that we through
patience and
comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through
endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
But now that there are no further
opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,
Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will
come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way
thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your
company.
I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your
company for a while, you can
equip me for my journey.
When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
So after I have
completed this service and have safely delivered this
bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.
And I am sure that, when I
come unto you, I shall
come in the
fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
I
commend unto you
Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
I
commend to you our sister
Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea.
For your obedience is
come abroad unto all men. I am
glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I
rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the
commandment of the
everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith—
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly
await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with
excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that
come to
nought:
Among the
mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are
coming to nothing.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.
The natural man does not accept the things that
come from the Spirit of God. For they are
foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually
discerned.
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or
Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to
come; all are yours;
whether Paul or Apollos or
Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord
comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will
expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
Now some are
puffed up, as though I would not
come to you.
Some of you have become
arrogant, as if I were not
coming to you.
But I will
come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are
puffed up, but the power.
But I will
come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these
arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.
What will ye? shall I
come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of
meekness?
Which do you
prefer? Shall I
come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
It is reported
commonly that there is
fornication among you, and such
fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is
intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not
competent to judge
trivial cases?
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that
committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can
commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may
devote yourselves to prayer. Then
come together again, so that
Satan will not
tempt you through your lack of self-control.
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
Now about virgins, I have no
command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is
trustworthy.
Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a
snare upon you, but for that which is
comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper
decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.
