discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to
unlade her burden.

cargo.

disciples, we
tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
We sought out the disciples in Tyre and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they kept telling Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.

dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
The
dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would
tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the
barracks.

So the commander
dismissed the young man and
instructed him, “Do not tell
anyone that you have reported this to me.”

hurt and much damage, not only of the
lading and ship, but also of our lives.

cargo, but to our own lives as well.”

beach, where they decided to run the ship
aground if they could.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.

So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall
tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword?

Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

foolish the wisdom of the world?

carnal: for whereas there is among you
envying, and
strife, and divisions, are ye not

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a
spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.

But as God hath
distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so

prescribe in all the churches.

Every man praying or
prophesying, having his head covered,

dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were
shaved.

To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another
discerning of spirits; to another
divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall

prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be
dismissed.

anyone recognize the
tune they are playing unless the notes are
distinct?

Instead, we have
renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not practice
deceit, nor do we
distort the word of God. On the contrary, by open
proclamation of the truth, we
commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

distressed; we are
perplexed, but not in
despair;
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is
dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not
blamed:
We put no
obstacle in
anyone’s way, so that no one can
discredit our ministry.

through glory and
dishonor,
slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;
(As it is written, He hath
dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

forever.”

ministration they
glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal
distribution unto them, and unto all men;

obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the

disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.

boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath
distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
We, however, will not
boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
Therefore I take pleasure in
infirmities, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in
distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy,
rage,
rivalry,
slander,
gossip,
arrogance, and
disorder.
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would
pervert the gospel of Christ.
which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to
distort the gospel of Christ.
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man
disannulleth, or addeth
thereto.
Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is
ratified, cannot be
canceled or
amended.
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot
disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not
revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to
nullify the promise.
That in the
dispensation of the
fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
in which you used to walk when you
conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of
disobedience.
That in the ages to come he might
shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
in order that in the coming ages He might
display the
surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
If ye have heard of the
dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward:
Surely you have heard about the
stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
Wherefore I desire that ye
faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Let no man
deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
Let no one
deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of
disobedience.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
For it is shameful even to mention what the
disobedient do in secret.
Fathers, do not
provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the
discipline and instruction of the Lord.
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
The former, however,
preach Christ out of
selfish ambition, not
sincerely, supposing that they can add to the
distress of my chains.
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my
distress will turn out for my
deliverance.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
For he longed after you all, and was full of
heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the
dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully
proclaim to you the word of God,
And having
disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public
spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Do not let
anyone who delights in false
humility and the worship of angels
disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is
puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.
