nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess
Diana should be
despised, and her
magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty
deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”

appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is
there that knoweth not how that the city of the

loft, and was taken up dead.

advise you.

vow.

purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may
shave their heads: and all may know that those things,
whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou
thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Take these men,
purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads
shaved. Then

And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and
beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when
there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
Having received permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. A great
hush came over the crowd, and he addressed them in Hebrew:
As also the high priest
doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were
there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
as the high priest and the whole Council can
testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to
apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.
And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come
nigh unto Damascus about
noon, suddenly
there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
About
noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven
flashed around me.
And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Then I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ ‘Get up and go into Damascus,’ He told me. ‘There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.’
And one
Ananias, a
devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt
there,
There a man named
Ananias, a
devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living
there,
And when the blood of thy
martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the
raiment of them that
slew him.
And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was shed, I stood
there giving my
approval and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’
And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the
centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to
scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
But as they stretched him out to
strap him down, Paul said to the
centurion standing
there, “Is it lawful for you to
flog a Roman citizen without a trial?”
As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the
Pharisees and
Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
For the
Sadducees say that
there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the
Pharisees acknowledge them all.
And
there arose a great cry: and the
scribes that were of the
Pharisees’ part arose, and
strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
A great
clamor arose, and some
scribes from the party of the
Pharisees got up and
contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
And when
there arose a great
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.
Now
therefore ye with the council
signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to
morrow, as though ye would
enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
Now then, you and the
Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”
But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
Do not let them
persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to
ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now,
awaiting your consent.”
Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
I found that the
accusation involved questions about their own law, but
there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent
straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him.
Farewell.
When I was informed that
there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also
instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.
Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
You can
verify for
yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
and I have the same hope in God that they themselves
cherish, that
there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
At the time they found me in the temple, I was
ceremonially clean and was not
inciting a crowd or an
uproar. But
there are some Jews from the province of Asia
But
Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
But
Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going
there soon.
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.”
But
Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said,
Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and
there be judged of these things before me?
But
Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”
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!”
And when they had been
there many days,
Festus declared Paul’s cause unto the king, saying,
There is a certain man left in bonds by
Felix:
Since they were staying several days,
Festus laid out Paul’s case before the king: “
There is a certain man whom
Felix left in prison.
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 because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
Since I was at a loss as to how to
investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried
there on these charges.
Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king
Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
I have nothing definite to write to our sovereign one about him.
Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King
Agrippa, so that after this inquiry I may have something to write.
Especially because I know thee to be
expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I
beseech thee to hear me patiently.
especially since you are acquainted with all the Jewish customs and
controversies. I
beg you,
therefore, to
listen to me patiently.
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:
But I have had God’s help to this day, and I stand here to
testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:
And when we had
launched from thence, we sailed under
Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
After putting out from
there, we sailed to the
lee of
Cyprus because the winds were against us.
And
there the
centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us
therein.
And because the
haven was not
commodious to winter in, the more part
advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and
there to winter; which is an
haven of
Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
And now I
exhort you to be of good
cheer: for
there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
But now I
urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
So for your own preservation, I
urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
And we were in all in the ship two hundred
threescore and sixteen souls.
In all, there were 276 of us on board.
And when Paul had gathered a
bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire,
there came a
viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Paul gathered a
bundle of sticks, and as he laid them on the fire, a
viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
Putting in at
Syracuse, we stayed
there three days.
And from thence we
fetched a compass, and came to
Rhegium: and after one day the south wind
blew, and we came the next day to
Puteoli:
From
there we
weighed anchor and came to
Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at
Puteoli.
Where we found brethren, and were desired to
tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
There we found some brothers who invited us to
spend the week with them. And so we came to Rome.
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as
Appii Forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he
thanked God, and took courage.
The brothers
there had heard about us and traveled as far as the
Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave
thanks to God.
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
They examined me and wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any
harm of thee.
The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from
Judea, nor have any of the brothers from
there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.
And when they had appointed him a day,
there came many to him into his
lodging; to whom he
expounded and
testified the kingdom of God,
persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He
expounded to them from morning to evening,
testifying about the kingdom of God and
persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
Be
advised,
therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will
listen!”
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own
hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
Paul stayed
there two full years in his own rented house,
welcoming all who came to visit him.
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.”
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.
Therefore thou art
inexcusable, O man,
whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest
thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
You,
therefore, have no
excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are
condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
But unto them that are
contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath,
But for those who are self-seeking and who
reject the truth and follow wickedness,
there will be wrath and anger.
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the
Jew, then for the Greek;
For there is no respect of persons with God.
Thou
therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not
thyself? thou that preachest a man should not
steal,
dost thou
steal?
What, then, is the advantage of being a
Jew? Or what is the value of
circumcision?
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
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,
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is,
there is no
transgression.
because the law brings wrath. And where
there is no law,
there is no
transgression.
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.
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned:
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all
sinned.
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to
condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life.
God
forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer
therein?
Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
