⁹ Woe be unto him that chideth with his maker, the potsherd with the potter. Sayeth the clay to the potter, "What makest thou?" or "Thy work serveth for nothing?"

⁶ Seek the LORD, while he may be found, and call upon him while he is nigh. ⁷ Let the ungodly man forsake his ways and the unrighteous his imaginations, and turn again unto the LORD: so shall he be merciful unto him; and to our God, for he is ready to forgive.

¹⁸ But if I may see his right way again, I make him whole, I lead him and restore him unto them whom he maketh joyful, and that were sorry for him.

⁹ In their troubles he forsook them not, but the angel that went forth from his presence delivered them. Of very love and kindness that he had unto them, he redeemed them: He hath born them, and carried them up ever since the world began.

¹⁰ Sharon shall be a sheepfold, and the valley of Achor shall give the stalling for the cattle of my people, that fear me.

² As for these things, my hand hath made them all, and they are all created, sayeth the LORD. Which of them shall I then regard? Even him that is of a lowly troubled spirit, and standeth in awe of my works.

⁸ Who ever heard or saw such things? Doth the ground bear in one day? Or are the people born all at once, as Zion beareth her sons?

⁵ "Before I fashioned thee in thy mother's womb, I did know thee: And before thou wast born, I sanctified thee and ordained thee, to be a Prophet unto the people."

⁷ And the LORD answered me thus, "Say not so, 'I am too young': For thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee unto, and whatsoever I command thee, that shalt thou speak.

⁹ Wherefore, I thought from henceforth not to speak of him, nor to preach anymore in his name. But the word of the LORD was a very burning fire in my heart and in my bones, which when I would have stopped, I might not. ¹⁰ For why? I heard so many derisions and blasphemies, yea even of my own companions, and such as were conversant with me: which went about, to make me afraid, saying, "Upon him; let us go upon him, to fear him, and make him hold his tongue: that we may overcome him, and be avenged of him."

¹² Ye shall cry unto me, ye shall go and call upon me, and I shall hear you. ¹³ Ye shall seek me, and find me: Yea, if so be that ye seek me with your whole heart,

¹⁸ Moreover, I heard Ephraim, that was led away captive, complain on this manner, 'O LORD, thou hast corrected me, and thy chastening have I received, as an untamed calf. Convert thou me, and I shall be converted, for thou art my LORD God. ¹⁹ Yea, as soon as thou turnest me, I shall reform myself: and when I understand, I shall smite upon my thigh. For verily I have committed shameful things: O let my youth bear this reproof and confusion.' ²⁰ Upon this complaint, I thought thus by myself: Is not Ephraim my dear son? Is he not the child, with whom I have had all mirth and pastime? For since the time that I first communed with him, I have him ever in remembrance: therefore my very heart driveth me unto him; gladly and lovingly will I have mercy upon him, sayeth the LORD.

⁴⁰ {Nun} Let us look well upon our own ways, and remember ourselves, and turn again to the LORD.

¹⁴ Now when the spirit took me up, and carried me away, I went with a heavy and sorrowful mind, but the hand of the LORD comforted me right soon.

⁶ "'Then came I by thee, and saw thee trodden down in thine own blood, and said unto thee, 'Thou shalt be purged from thine own blood; from thine own blood, I say, shalt thou be cleansed.' ⁷ So I planted thee, as the blossom of the field. Thou art grown up, and waxen great: thou hast gotten a marvelous pleasant beauty, thy breasts are come up, thy hair is goodly grown; whereas thou wast naked and bare afore. ⁸ Now when I went by thee, and looked upon thee: behold, thy time was come; yea, even the time to vow thee. Then spread I my clothes over thee, to cover thy dishonesty: Yea, I made an oath unto thee, and married myself with thee, sayeth the LORD God; and so thou becamest mine own.

¹⁹ Then was the mystery showed unto Daniel in a vision by night. And Daniel praised the God of heaven.

⁷ I, Daniel, alone saw this vision. The men that were with me, saw it not: but a great fearfulness fell upon them, so that they fled away, and hid themselves.

⁶ Then turn to thy God, keep mercy and equity, and hope still in thy God.

² Take words with you and turn unto the Lord. And say unto him, "Remit all wickedness and given things, and we will pay thee openly

¹³ And tear your hearts and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God. For he is full of mercy and compassion, long ere he be angry, and great in mercy and repentance when he is at the point to punish.

² "Rise and get thee to Nineveh that great city and preach unto them, how that their wickedness is come up before me." ³ And Jonah made him ready to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and gat him down to Joppa, and found there a ship ready to go to Tarshish, and paid his fare, and went aboard, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

³ And Jonah made him ready to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and gat him down to Joppa, and found there a ship ready to go to Tarshish, and paid his fare, and went aboard, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

¹ And Jonah prayed unto the LORD his god out of the bowels of the fish. ² And he said, "In my tribulation I called unto the LORD, and he answered me: out of the belly of hell I cried, and thou heardest my voice. ³ For thou hadst cast me down deep in the midst of the sea; and the flood compassed me about: and all thy waves and rolls of water went over me. ⁴ And I thought that I had been cast away out of thy sight. But I will yet again look toward thy holy temple.

¹ Then came the word of the LORD unto Jonah again, saying, ² "Up, and get thee to Nineveh that great city, and preach unto them the preaching which I bade thee."

⁶ And the tidings came unto the king of Nineveh, which arose out of his seat, and did his apparel off and put on sackcloth, and sat him down in ashes. ⁷ And it was cried and commanded in Nineveh by the authority of the king and of his lords, saying, "See that neither man or beast, ox or sheep taste ought at all, and that they neither feed or drink water." ⁸ And they put on sackcloth both man and beast, and cried unto God mightily, and turned every man from his wicked way, and from doing wrong in which they were accustomed, saying,

¹⁶ When I hear this, my body is vexed, my lips tremble at the voice thereof, my bones corrupt, I am afraid where I stand. O that I might rest in the day of trouble, that I might go up unto our people, which are already prepared.

⁸ For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: With a glorious power hath he sent me out to the Heathen, which spoiled you: for whoso toucheth you, shall touch the apple of his own eye.

⁸ "'Hear O Joshua thou high priest: thou and thy friends that dwell before thee, for they are wondrous people. Behold, I will bring forth the branch of my servant:

²⁰ Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: There shall yet come people, and the inhabiters of many cities.

¹⁰ Moreover, upon the house of David and upon the citizens of Jerusalem, will I pour out the spirit of grace and prayer, so that they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall beweep him, as men mourn for their only begotten son: Yea, and be sorry for him, as men are sorry for their first child

³ Then came to him the tempter, and said, "If thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread."

¹¹ Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall falsely say all manner of evil sayings against you for my sake.

⁷ "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ⁸ For whosoever asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

³ And Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be thou clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

⁶ That ye may know that the son of man hath power to forgive sins in earth" — then said he unto the sick of the palsy - "Arise, take up thy bed, and go home to thine house."

²⁵ As soon as the people were put forth adoors, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

²⁸ And when he was come into the home, the blind came to him: and Jesus said unto them, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" And they said unto him, "Yea, Lord." ²⁹ Then touched he their eyes saying, "According to your faith, be it unto you." ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, "See that no man know of it."

¹⁶ "Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves: Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves.

¹⁶ "Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves: Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves. ¹⁷ Beware of men: for they shall deliver you up to the councils, and shall scourge you in their synagogues;

¹⁷ Beware of men: for they shall deliver you up to the councils, and shall scourge you in their synagogues; ¹⁸ And ye shall be brought to the head rulers and kings for my sake, in witness to them and to the Gentiles.

¹⁸ And ye shall be brought to the head rulers and kings for my sake, in witness to them and to the Gentiles.

¹⁸ And ye shall be brought to the head rulers and kings for my sake, in witness to them and to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, take no thought, how, or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you even in that same hour, what ye shall say.

¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, take no thought, how, or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you even in that same hour, what ye shall say. ²⁰ For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your father which speaketh in you. ²¹ The brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall arise against their fathers, and mothers, and shall put them to death,

²¹ The brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall arise against their fathers, and mothers, and shall put them to death, ²² and ye shall be hated of all men, for my name: but he that shall endureth unto the end, shall be saved.

²² and ye shall be hated of all men, for my name: but he that shall endureth unto the end, shall be saved. ²³ When they persecute you in one city, fly into another: I tell you for a truth, ye shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the son of man be come.

²³ When they persecute you in one city, fly into another: I tell you for a truth, ye shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the son of man be come.

²³ When they persecute you in one city, fly into another: I tell you for a truth, ye shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the son of man be come. ²⁴ The disciple is not above his Master, nor yet the servant above his Lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple to be as his Master is, and that the servant be as his Lord is. If they have called the Lord of the house Beelzebub: how much more shall they call them of his household so?

⁵⁴ and came in to his own country, and taught them in their synagogues, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, "Whence cometh all this wisdom and power unto him? ⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren be called, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

¹³ When Jesus came into the coasts of the city which is called Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples saying, "Whom do men say that I, the son of man, am?"

¹⁷ Jesus answered and said, "O generation faithless, and crooked: how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me."

¹³ Then were brought to him young children, that he should put his hands on them and pray. And his disciples rebuked them.

³⁰ Many that are first, shall be last; and the last shall be first.

⁹ Then shall they put you to trouble, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake: ¹⁰ And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one the other.

⁴⁰ Then two shall be in the fields: the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused, ⁴¹ two shall be grinding at the mill: the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.

³⁶ I was sick and ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me.' ³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him saying, 'Master, when saw we thee a hungered, and fed thee? Or athirst, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ When saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? Or naked and clothed thee? ³⁹ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison and came unto thee?' ⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.'

⁴⁵ Then shall he answer them, and say, 'Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.' ⁴⁶ And these shall go into everlasting pain: And the righteous into life eternal.

¹¹ For ye shall have poor folk always with you: but me shall ye not have always.

⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him, "I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God." ⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "Thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky." ⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes saying, "He hath blasphemed: what need we of any more witnesses? Behold, now have ye heard his blasphemy: ⁶⁶ What think ye?" They answered and said, "He is worthy to die."

⁴³ He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'"

⁵² and the stones did rent, and graves did open, and the bodies of many saints which slept, arose:

⁵⁴ When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things which happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Of a surety this was the son of God."

³¹ And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever forsook her by and by: And she ministered unto them.

³ And there came unto him, that brought one sick of the palsy, borne of four men: ⁴ and because they could not come nigh unto him for press, they uncovered the roof of the house where he was. And when they had broken it open, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. ⁵ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, thy sins are forgiven thee." ⁶ And there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷ "How doth this fellow so blaspheme? Who can forgive sins, but God only?" ⁸ And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit, that they so reasoned in themselves, he said unto them, "Why think ye such things in your hearts? ⁹ Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy; thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, arise, take up thy bed and walk? ¹⁰ That ye may know that the son of man hath power in earth to forgive sins," he spake unto the sick of the palsy, ¹¹ "I say unto thee, Arise and take up thy bed, and get thee hence into thine own house."

¹⁵ And they came out to Jesus, and they saw him that was vexed with the fiend, and had the legion, sit: both clothed and in his right mind; and were afraid. ¹⁶ And they that saw it told them, how it had happened unto him that was possessed with the devil: and also of the swine. ¹⁷ And they began to pray him, that he would depart from their coasts. ¹⁸ And when he was come into the ship, he that had the devil prayed him that he might be with him. ¹⁹ Howbeit, Jesus would not suffer him but said unto him, "Go home into thine own house and to thy friends, and show them what great things the Lord hath done unto thee, and how he had compassion on thee." ²⁰ And he departed, and began to publish in the ten cities, what great things Jesus had done unto him; and all men did marvel.

²³ and besought him greatly saying, "My daughter lieth at point of death, I would thou wouldst come and lay thy hand on her, that she might be safe and live."

²⁵ And there was a certain woman, which was diseased of an issue of blood twelve years,

⁴⁰ And they laughed him to scorn. Then he put them all out, and took the father and the mother of the maiden, and them that were with him, and entered in where the maiden lay; ⁴¹ And took the maiden by the hand, and said unto her, "Talitha, cumi," which is by interpretation, "maiden I say unto thee, arise." ⁴² And straight the maiden arose, and went on her feet. For she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished at it out of measure.

⁵ And he could there show no miracles, but laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them.

²¹ And he asked his father, "How long is it ago, since this hath happened him?" And he said, "Of a child.

²⁵ When Jesus saw that the people came running together unto him, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out of him, and enter no more into him."

⁸ She hath done that she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body to his buryingward.

¹⁵ And he will show you a great parlour, paved and prepared: there make ready for us."

¹⁶ and many of the children of Israel shall he turn to their Lord God. ¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the unbelievers to the wisdom of the just men: to make the people ready for the Lord."

⁷⁶ And thou child, shalt be called the prophet of the highest, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways:

¹¹ for unto you is born this day in the city of David a saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?"

¹² When he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, which was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city was with her.

¹⁵ And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

⁵⁴ And he thrust them all out at the doors, and caught her by the hand, and cried, saying, "Maid arise."

⁴¹ And Jesus answered, and said unto her, "Martha, Martha, thou carest, and are troubled, about many things:

⁹ "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. ¹⁰ For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be opened.

¹⁶ And ought not this daughter of Abraham, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day, whom Satan hath bound lo, eighteen years?"

³⁰ but as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy goods with harlots, thou hast for his pleasure killed the fatted calf.'

³² it was mete that we should make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again: and was lost, and is found.'"

⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, which cry night and day unto him? Yea though he defer them: ⁸ I tell you, he will avenge them, and that quickly. Nevertheless, when the son of man cometh, suppose ye that he shall find faith on the earth?" ⁹ And he put forth this similitude, unto certain which trusted in themselves, that they were perfect, and despised others. ¹⁰ "Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this publican. ¹² I fast twice in the week. I give tithe of all that I possess.' ¹³ And the publican stood afar off, and would not lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, saying, 'God be merciful to me, a sinner.' ¹⁴ I tell you, This man departed home to his house justified more than the other. For every man that exalteth himself, shall be brought low: And he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted."

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak nor resist.

⁴¹ And he gat himself from them, about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

⁴² And he said unto Jesus, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." ⁴³ And Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise."

⁴⁴ And he said unto them, "These are the words, which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms."

⁴⁴ And he said unto them, "These are the words, which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms." ⁴⁵ Then opened he their wits, that they might understand the scriptures,

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said unto him, "Rabbi, thou art the son of God; Thou art the King of Israel."

¹¹ This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and showed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, "If thou knowest the gift of God, and who it is, that sayeth to thee, 'Give me drink': thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee water of life."

⁵ And a certain man was there, which had been diseased thirty eight years.

¹ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth;

⁸ The neighbours, and they that had seen him before how that he was a beggar said, "Is not this he that sat and begged?" ⁹ Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He is like him." But he himself said, "I am even he."

²¹ But by what means he now seeth, that can we not tell: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell. He is old enough, ask him, let him answer for himself, of things that pertain to himself."

⁹ I am the door: by me, if any man enter in, he shall be safe, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

³ and his sisters sent unto him, saying, "Lord behold, he whom thou lovest is sick." ⁴ When Jesus that heard he said, "This infirmity is not unto death: But for the laud of God, that the son of God might be praised by the reason of it."

⁴ When Jesus that heard he said, "This infirmity is not unto death: But for the laud of God, that the son of God might be praised by the reason of it."

³⁶ Then said the Jews, "Behold how he loved him." ³⁷ And some of them said, "Could not he which opened the eyes of the blind, have made also, that this man should not have died?"

⁴³ And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus come forth." ⁴⁴ And he that was dead, came forth bound hand and foot, with grave bonds after the manner as they were wont to bind their dead withal. And his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, "Loose him, and let him go." ⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

⁸ The poor always shall ye have with you, but me shall ye not always have."

¹¹ because that for his sake many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

²⁹ Then said the people that stood by and heard, "It thundereth." Others said, "An angel spake to him."

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried, and said, "He that believeth on me believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

¹⁶ and I will pray the father: and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you ever, ¹⁷ which is the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive; because the world seeth him not, neither knoweth him. But ye know him. For he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ "I will not leave you comfortless, but will come to you.

⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me can ye do nothing.

⁸ Herein is my father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and be made my disciples.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name he should give it you.

²⁰ Remember the saying, that I said unto you, 'The servant is not greater than the Lord.' If they have persecuted me, so will they persecute you. If they have kept my saying, so will they keep yours.

¹ These things have I said unto you because ye should not be offended. ² They shall excommunicate you: yea the time shall come, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth God true service. ³ And such things will they do unto you, because they have not known the father, neither yet me. ⁴ But these things have I told you: that when that hour is come, ye might remember then, that I told you so. These things said I not unto you at the beginning, because I was present with you.

¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Those that thou gavest me, have I kept, and none of them is lost, but that lost child: that the scripture might be fulfilled.

⁶ But as soon as he had said unto them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.

⁷ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die: because he made himself the son of God."

¹⁶ Jesus said unto her, "Mary." She turned herself, and said unto him, "Rabboni," which is to say, Master.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said unto him, "My Lord, and my God."

³¹ These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is Christ the son of God. And that ye in believing ye might have life through his name.

¹⁵ When they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" He said unto him, "Yea Lord, thou knowest, that I love thee." He said unto him, "Feed my lambs."

⁸ but ye shall receive power of the holy ghost which shall come on you. And ye shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Jewry, and in Samaria, and even unto the world's end."

¹³ And when they were come in, they went up into a parlour, where abode both Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zealotes, and Judas James' son.

²¹ Wherefore of these men which have companied with us — all the time that the Lord Jesus went out and in among us,

⁴ and they were all filled with the holy ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the spirit gave them utterance.

⁶ When this was noised about, the multitude came together and were astonished, because that every man heard them speak his own tongue.

¹² They were all amazed, and wondered: saying one to another, "What meaneth this?"

¹⁷ 'It shall be in the last days, saith God, of my spirit I will pour out upon all flesh. And your sons, and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions. And your old men shall dream dreams.

²¹ And it shall be that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

³⁷ When they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter, and unto the other apostles, "Ye men and brethren, what shall we do?" ³⁸ Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptised every one of of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy ghost.

⁴¹ Then they that gladly received his preaching were baptised; And the same day, there were added unto them about a three thousand souls.

² And there was a certain man halt from his mother's womb, whom they brought and laid at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask his alms of them that entered into the temple.

⁶ Then said Peter, "Silver and gold have I none: such as I have, give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." ⁷ And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up. And immediately his feet and anklebones received strength,

¹⁰ And they knew him, that it was he which sat and begged at the Beautiful gate of the temple. And they wondered, and were sore astonished at that which had happened unto him.

¹² When Peter saw that, he answered unto the people, "Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? Or why look ye so steadfastly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man go?

¹⁶ And his name, through the faith of his name, hath made this man sound whom ye see and know. And the faith which is by him, hath to him given this health, in the presence of you all.

⁴ Howbeit, many of them, which heard the words, believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

¹⁰ be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, and whom God raised from death again, even by him doth this man stand here present before you whole.

¹³ When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were unlearned men and lay people, they marveled: and they knew them, that they were with Jesus.

²² For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed. ²³ As soon as they were let go, they came to their fellows, and showed all that the high priests and elders had said to them.

²⁹ And now Lord behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants with all confidence to speak thy word.

³¹ And as soon as they had prayed, the place moved where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy ghost, and they spake the word of God boldly.

³⁶ And Joseph, which was also called of the apostles Barnabas — that is to say, the son of consolation — being a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

¹⁰ Then she fell down straightway at his feet and yielded up the ghost. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹² By the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders showed among the people. And they were all together with one accord in Solomon's porch. ¹³ And of other durst no man join himself to them: neverthelater, the people magnified them. ¹⁴ The number of them that believed in the Lord, both of men and women, grew more and more

³⁹ but and if it be of God, ye cannot destroy it, lest haply ye be found to strive against God."

¹ In those days, as the number of the disciples grew, there arose a grudge among the Greeks against the Hebrews, because their widows were despised in the daily ministration.

⁶ which they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them. ⁷ And the word of God increased, and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly. And a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

⁹ Then there arose certain of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of Cilicia, and of Asia: and disputed with Stephen.

⁹ Then there arose certain of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of Cilicia, and of Asia: and disputed with Stephen. ¹⁰ And they could not resist the wisdom, and the spirit, with which he spake.

¹⁹ The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their young children, that they should not remain alive.

⁵⁸ and cast him out of the city, and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, named Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, calling on and saying, "Lord Jesus receive my spirit." ⁶⁰ And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. For they know not what they do." And when he had thus spoken he fell asleep.

¹ Saul had pleasure in his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the congregation which was at Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Jewry and Samaria, except the apostles. ² Then devout men dressed Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul made havoc of the congregation, entering into every house: and drew out both man and woman, and thrust them into prison.

¹⁴ When the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard say that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

¹⁷ Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the holy ghost.

²² Repent, therefore, of this thy wickedness, and pray God that the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

²⁵ And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned toward Jerusalem and preached the gospel in many cities of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Then the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, "Arise and go towards midday unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is in the desert."

³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water, and the chamberlain said, "See: here is water, what shall let me to be baptised?"

⁴⁰ but Philip was found at Azotus. And he walked throughout the country preaching in their cities, till he came to Caesarea.

¹ And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

¹ And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, ² and desired of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

² and desired of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. ³ But as he journeyed, it fortuned that he drew nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven.

³ But as he journeyed, it fortuned that he drew nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven. ⁴ And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"

⁴ And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" ⁵ And he said, "What art thou, Lord?" And the Lord said, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it shall be hard for thee to kick against the prick."

⁵ And he said, "What art thou, Lord?" And the Lord said, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it shall be hard for thee to kick against the prick." ⁶ And he, both trembling and astonished, said, "Lord what wilt thou have me to do?" And the Lord said unto him, "Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou shalt do."

⁸ And Saul arose from the earth, and opened his eyes, but saw no man. Then led they him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. ⁹ And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank. ¹⁰ And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and to him said the Lord in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Behold, I am here Lord."

¹⁰ And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and to him said the Lord in a vision, "Ananias."

For behold, he prayeth;

¹³ Then Ananias answered, "Lord I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

¹⁴ and here he hath authority of the high priests to bind all that call on thy name."

¹⁴ and here he hath authority of the high priests to bind all that call on thy name."

¹⁴ and here he hath authority of the high priests to bind all that call on thy name." ¹⁵ The Lord said unto him, "Go thy ways: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the gentiles, and kings and the children of Israel:

¹⁵ The Lord said unto him, "Go thy ways: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the gentiles, and kings and the children of Israel:

¹⁵ The Lord said unto him, "Go thy ways: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the gentiles, and kings and the children of Israel: ¹⁶ For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake."

¹⁶ For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake."

¹⁶ For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake." ¹⁷ Ananias went his way and entered into the house and put his hands on him and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the holy ghost."

¹⁷ Ananias went his way and entered into the house and put his hands on him and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the holy ghost."

¹⁷ Ananias went his way and entered into the house and put his hands on him and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the holy ghost." ¹⁸ And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales and he received his sight, and arose and was baptised.

²² But Saul increased in strength; And confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus affirming that this was very Christ.

²² But Saul increased in strength; And confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus affirming that this was very Christ. ²³ And after a good while, the Jews took counsel together among themselves, to kill him. ²⁴ But their layings wait was known of Saul. And they watched at the gates day and night to kill him. ²⁵ Then the disciples took him by night, and put him through the wall and let him down in a basket.

²⁷ But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way and had spoken with him: and how he had done boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus;

²⁷ But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way and had spoken with him: and how he had done boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus; ²⁸ And he had his conversation with them at Jerusalem, ²⁹ and quit himself boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he spake and disputed with the Greeks; and they went about to slay him. ³⁰ But when the brethren knew of that, they brought him to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³⁰ But when the brethren knew of that, they brought him to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³² And it chanced that as Peter walked throughout all quarters, he came to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

³⁵ And all that dwelt at Lydda and Sharon, saw him, and turned to the Lord. ³⁶ There was at Joppa a certain woman, which was a disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: the same was full of good works and alms deeds, which she did.

³⁶ There was at Joppa a certain woman, which was a disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: the same was full of good works and alms deeds, which she did. ³⁷ And it chanced in those days that she was sick and died. When they had washed her and laid her in a chamber -

³⁹ Peter arose and came with them: And when he was come, they brought him into the chamber, and all the widows stood round about him weeping and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

⁴¹ And he gave her the hand and lift her up, and called the saints and widows and showed her alive. ⁴² And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

³ The same man saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming into him, and saying unto him, "Cornelius." ⁴ When he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it Lord?" He said unto him, "Thy prayers and thy alms are come up into remembrance before God. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon named also Peter.

⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon named also Peter. ⁶ He lodgeth with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. He shall tell thee, what thou oughtest to do."

⁶ He lodgeth with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. He shall tell thee, what thou oughtest to do."

¹⁷ While Peter mused in himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold: the men which were sent from Cornelius, had made inquirance for Simon's house, and stood before the door. ¹⁸ And called out one and asked whether Simon, which was also called Peter, were lodged there. ¹⁹ While Peter thought on this vision, the spirit said unto him, "Behold, men seek thee: arise therefore, get thee down, ²⁰ and go with them, and doubt not. For I have sent them."

²² And they said unto him, "Cornelius the captain, a just man and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the people of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee."

³¹ and said, 'Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms deeds are had in remembrance in the sight of God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, which is also called Peter. He is lodged in the house of one Simon, a tanner, by the seaside: the which as soon as he is come, shall speak unto thee.'

³⁶ Ye know the preaching that God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, which is Lord over all things;

¹³ And he showed us, how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said to him, 'Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, named also Peter:

¹³ And he showed us, how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said to him, 'Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, named also Peter: ¹⁴ he shall tell thee words, whereby both thou and all thine house shall be saved.'

²⁰ Some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which when they were come into Antioch, spake unto the Greeks, and preached the Lord Jesus. ²¹ And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned unto the Lord. ²² Tidings of these things came unto the ears of the congregation, which was in Jerusalem; And they sent forth Barnabas that he should go unto Antioch.

²⁵ Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul, ²⁶ and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it chanced that a whole year they had their conversation with the congregation there, and taught much people insomuch that the disciples of Antioch were the first that were called Christian.

²⁴ And the word of God grew and multiplied. ²⁵ And Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and took with them John, which was also called Mark.

² As they ministered to the Lord and fasted; The holy ghost said, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the work whereunto I have called them." ³ Then fasted they and prayed, and put their hands on them, and let them go.

⁵ And when they were come to Salamis, they showed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to their minister.

¹¹ And now behold the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind and not see the sun for a season." And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; And he went about, seeking them that should lead him by the hand. ¹² Then the ruler, when he saw what had happened, believed: and wondered at the doctrine of the Lord. ¹³ When Paul, and they that were with him, had departed by ship from Paphos, they came to Perga a city of Pamphylia. And there departed John from them, and returned to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ But they wandered through the countries, from Perga to Antioch a city of the country of Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.

¹⁴ But they wandered through the countries, from Perga to Antioch a city of the country of Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down. ¹⁵ And after the law and the prophets were read, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them saying, "Ye men and brethren, if ye have any sermon to exhort the people, say on."

³⁷ But he whom God raised again, saw no corruption. ³⁸ Be it known unto you therefore, ye men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins;

⁵⁰ But the Jews moved the worshipful and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and expelled them out of their coasts.

⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy and with the holy ghost.

² But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and unquieted the minds of the gentiles against the brethren.

⁵ When there was a fault made, both of the gentiles and also of the Jews with their rulers, to put them to shame and to stone them: ⁶ they were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about,

⁸ And there sat a certain man at Lystra weak in his feet, being cripple from his mother's womb, and never walked.

¹⁹ Thither came certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and obtained the peoples' consent, and stoned Paul: and drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

² And when there was risen dissension and disputing not a little unto Paul and Barnabas, against them: they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should ascend to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

¹⁹ Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them which from among the gentiles are turned to God:

²⁵ It seemed therefore to us a good thing, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul: ²⁶ men that have jeopardized their lives, for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

³⁵ Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch teaching, and preaching the word of the Lord with other many. ³⁶ But after a certain space, Paul said unto Barnabas, "Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have showed the word of the Lord, and see how they do." ³⁷ And Barnabas gave counsel, to take with them John called also Mark: ³⁸ But Paul thought it not meet to take him unto their company which departed from them at Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. ³⁹ And so sharp was the dissension between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: so that Barnabas took Mark and sailed unto Cyprus.

⁵ And so were the congregations established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

¹⁸ And this did she many days. But Paul, not content, turned about and said to the spirit, "I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ that thou come out of her." And he came out the same hour.

²⁹ Then he called for a light and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, ³⁰ and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

³ opening and alleging that Christ must needs have suffered and risen again from death. And that this Jesus was Christ, whom, said he, "I preach to you."

¹⁰ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul, and Silas by night unto Berea. Which, when they were come thither, they entered into the Synagogue of the Jews.

¹⁰ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul, and Silas by night unto Berea. Which, when they were come thither, they entered into the Synagogue of the Jews. ¹¹ These were the noblest of birth among them of Thessalonica, which received the word with all diligence of mind, and searched the scriptures daily whether those things were even so. ¹² And many of them believed, also of worshipful women which were Greeks; and of men, not a few. ¹³ When the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came there and moved the people: ¹⁴ and then, by and by, the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea. But Silas and Timothy abode there still. ¹⁵ And they that guided Paul brought him unto Athens, and received a commandment unto Silas and Timothy for to come to him at once. And came their way.

¹⁵ And they that guided Paul brought him unto Athens, and received a commandment unto Silas and Timothy for to come to him at once. And came their way.

¹⁷ Then he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons; And in the market daily with them that came unto him.

⁵ When Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the spirit, to testify to the Jews that Jesus was very Christ.

¹⁹ And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the Synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

²⁵ The same was informed in the way of the Lord, and he spake fervently in the spirit, and taught diligently the things of the Lord, and knew but the baptism of John only.

²⁷ And when he was disposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him. After he was come thither he helped them much, which had believed through grace. ²⁸ And mightily he overcame the Jews and that openly showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

⁶ And Paul laid his hands upon them: and the holy ghost came on them, and they spake with tongues and prophesied;

⁸ And he went into the synagogue, and behaved himself boldly for the space of three months: disputing, and giving them exhortations of the kingdom of God. ⁹ When divers waxed hard hearted, and believed not, but spake evil of the way of the Lord, and that before the multitude: he departed from them; And separated the disciples away; And disputed daily in the school of one called Tyrannus. ¹⁰ And this continued by the space of two years: So that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

¹⁷ And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and fear came on them all. And they magnified the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁸ And many that believed came, and confessed and showed their works.

²⁰ So mightily grew the word of God, and prevailed.

²³ The same time there arose no little ado about that way.

³ and there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria; He purposed to return through Macedonia.

⁸ And there were many lights in the chamber where they were gathered together,

¹² And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

¹⁹ serving the Lord with all humbleness of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which happened unto me by the layings wait of the Jews,

²² And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, and know not what shall come on me there, ²³ but that the holy ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and trouble abide me.

³⁵ I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to receive the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how that he said, 'It is more blessed to give, than to receive.'" ³⁶ When he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

⁴ And when we had found brethren, we tarried there seven days. And they told Paul through the spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. ⁵ And when the days were ended we departed, and went our ways, and they all brought us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were come out of the city. And we kneeled down in the shore and prayed.

¹¹ When he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his hands and feet and said, "Thus saith the holy ghost, 'So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.'"

¹⁹ And when he had saluted them, he told, by order, all things that God had wrought among the gentiles by his ministration. ²⁰ And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, "Thou seest brother, how many thousand Jews there are which believe, and they are all zealous over the law.

³⁹ But Paul said, "I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no vile city, I beseech thee suffer me to speak unto the people."

³ And he said, "I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia: nevertheless yet brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, and informed diligently in the law of the fathers, and was fervent minded to Godward, as ye all are this same day,

³ And he said, "I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia: nevertheless yet brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, and informed diligently in the law of the fathers, and was fervent minded to Godward, as ye all are this same day, ⁴ and I persecuted this way unto the death: binding, and delivering into prison both men and women,

⁴ and I persecuted this way unto the death: binding, and delivering into prison both men and women, ⁵ as the chief priest doth bear me witness, and all the elders: of 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. ⁶ And it fortuned that as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus, about noon, that suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me, ⁷ and I fell unto the earth, and heard a voice saying unto me, 'Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?' ⁸ And I answered, 'What art thou Lord?' And he said unto me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.' ⁹ And they that were with me saw verily a light and were afraid: but they heard not the voice of him that spake with me. ¹⁰ 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.' ¹¹ And when I saw nothing for the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand of them that were with me, and came into Damascus. ¹² And one Ananias, a perfect man, and as pertaining to the law having good report of all the Jews which there dwelt,

¹² And one Ananias, a perfect man, and as pertaining to the law having good report of all the Jews which there dwelt, ¹³ came unto me, and stood and said unto me, 'Brother Saul, look up.' And that same hour I received my sight and saw him. ¹⁴ And he said unto me, 'The God of our fathers hath ordained thee before, that thou shouldest know his will, and shouldest see that which is rightful, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth:

¹⁶ And now: why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptised, and wash away thy sins, in calling on the name of the Lord.' ¹⁷ And it fortuned, when I was come again to Jerusalem and prayed in the temple, that I was in a trance; ¹⁸ And saw him saying unto me, 'Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy witness that thou bearest of me.' ¹⁹ And I said, 'Lord they know that I prisoned, and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee. ²⁰ And when the blood of thy witness Stephen was shed, I also stood by, and consented unto his death and kept the raiment of them that slew him.' ²¹ And he said unto me, 'Depart for I will send thee afar hence unto the gentiles.'"

²¹ And he said unto me, 'Depart for I will send thee afar hence unto the gentiles.'" ²² They gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth: it is pity that he should live." ²³ And as they cried and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,

¹² When day was come, certain of the Jews gathered themselves together, and made a vow saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. ¹³ They were about forty which had made this conspiration. ¹⁴ And they came to the chief priest and elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves with a vow, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. ¹⁵ Now therefore give ye knowledge to the upper captain, and to the council that he bring him forth unto us tomorrow, as though we would know some thing more perfectly of him. But we, or ever he come near, are ready in the mean season to kill him." ¹⁶ When Paul's sister's son heard of their laying await, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. ¹⁷ And Paul called one of the under captains unto him, and said, "Bring this young man unto the high captain: for he hath a certain thing to show him." ¹⁸ And he took him, and led him to the high captain, and said, "Paul the prisoner called me unto him and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, which hath a certain matter to show thee." ¹⁹ The high captain took him by the hand, and went apart with him out of the way, and asked him, "What hast thou to say unto me?" ²⁰ And he said, "The Jews are determined to desire thee that thou wouldest bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly. ²¹ But follow not their minds: for there lie in wait for him of them, more than forty men, which have bound themselves with a vow, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now are they ready, and look for thy promise."

³⁰ Afterward, when it was showed me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent him straightway to thee: and gave commandment to his accusers, if they had ought against him, to tell it unto thee. Farewell."

¹⁴ But this I confess unto thee, that after that way, which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets,

²² When Felix heard these things, he deferred them, for he knew very well of that way and said, "When Lysias the captain is come, I will know the utmost of your matters."

²⁵ And as he preached of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come; Felix trembled, and answered, "Thou hast done enough at this time: depart. When I have a convenient time, I will send for thee." ²⁶ He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul that he might loose him, wherefore he called him the oftener, and communed with him.

³ and desired favour against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, and laid wait for him in the way to kill him.

¹¹ If I have hurt them, or committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die. If none of these things are, whereof they accuse me, no man ought to deliver me to them. I appeal unto Caesar."

²² Agrippa said unto Festus, "I would also hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," said he, "thou shalt hear him."

⁹ I also verily thought in myself, that I ought to do many contrary things, clean against the name of Jesus of Nazareth:

⁹ I also verily thought in myself, that I ought to do many contrary things, clean against the name of Jesus of Nazareth: ¹⁰ which things I also did in Jerusalem.

¹⁰ which things I also did in Jerusalem. Where many of the saints shut I up in prison, and had received authority of the high priests: And when they were put to death I gave the sentence. ¹¹ "And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme: and was yet more mad upon them, and persecuted them even unto strange cities. ¹² About the which things: as I went to Damascus with authority, and commission from license of the high priests,

¹² About the which things: as I went to Damascus with authority, and commission from license of the high priests, ¹³ even at mid day, o King, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shine round about me and them, which journeyed with me.

¹³ even at mid day, o King, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shine round about me and them, which journeyed with me. ¹⁴ When we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, 'Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the prick.'

¹⁴ When we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, 'Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the prick.' ¹⁵ And I said, 'Who art thou Lord?' And he said, 'I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:

¹⁵ And I said, 'Who art thou Lord?' And he said, 'I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: ¹⁶ But rise and stand up on thy feet. For I have appeared unto thee for this purpose: to make thee a minister, and a witness both of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things in thee which I will appear unto thee, ¹⁷ delivering thee from the people, and from the gentiles, unto thee which now I send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes that they might turn from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in me.' ¹⁹ "Wherefore king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: ²⁰ but showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Jewry, and to the gentiles, that they should repent, and turn to God, and do the right works of repentance.

²⁰ but showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Jewry, and to the gentiles, that they should repent, and turn to God, and do the right works of repentance.

³² Then said Agrippa unto Festus, "This man might have been loosed if he had not appealed unto Caesar."

²⁴ saying, 'Fear not Paul, for thou must be brought before Caesar. And lo, God hath given unto thee all that sail with thee.'

³³ And in the meantime, betwixt that and day, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, "This is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting receiving nothing at all, ³⁴ wherefore I pray you to take meat: for this no doubt is for your health, for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you." ³⁵ And when he had thus spoken he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eat. ³⁶ Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took meat.

¹⁷ And it fortuned, after three days, that Paul called the chief of the Jews together. And when they were come, he said unto them, "Men and brethren, though I have committed no thing against the people, or laws of our fathers: yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

¹⁷ And it fortuned, after three days, that Paul called the chief of the Jews together. And when they were come, he said unto them, "Men and brethren, though I have committed no thing against the people, or laws of our fathers: yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. ¹⁸ Which, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because they found no cause of death in me. ¹⁹ But when the Jews cried contrary, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar. Not because I had ought to accuse my people of. ²⁰ For this cause have I called for you, even to see you, and to speak with you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain." ²¹ And they said unto him, "We neither received letters out of Jewry pertaining unto thee, neither came any of the brethren that showed or spake any harm of thee. ²² But we will hear of thee what thou thinkest. For we have heard of this sect, that everywhere it is spoken against." ²³ And when they had appointed him a day, there came many unto him into his lodging: to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God; and preached unto them of Jesus: both out of the law of Moses, and also out of the prophets, even from morning to night.

⁴ and declared to be the son of God with power of the holy ghost, that sanctifieth, since the time that Jesus Christ our Lord rose again from death: ⁵ by whom we have received grace and apostleship, to bring all manner heathen people unto obedience of the faith, that is in his name:

⁷ To all you of Rome beloved of God, and saints by calling. Grace be with you, and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹³ I would that ye should know, brethren, how that I have oftentimes purposed to come unto you, but have been let hitherto, to have some fruit among you, as I have among other of the gentiles. ¹⁴ For I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to them which are no Greeks, unto the learned and also unto the unlearned. ¹⁵ Likewise, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you of Rome also.

⁵ and hope maketh not ashamed: for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the holy ghost, which is given unto us.

²⁰ But the law, in the meantime, entered in that sin should increase. Neverthelater, where abundance of sin was, there was more plenteousness of grace.

⁹ I once lived without law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I was dead.

¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, "I will show mercy to whom I show mercy: And will have compassion on whom I have compassion." ¹⁶ So lieth it not then in a man's will, or cunning, but in the mercy of God. ¹⁷ For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, "Even for this same purpose have I stirred thee up, to show my power on thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the world." ¹⁸ So hath he mercy on whom he will. And whom he will, he maketh hard hearted. ¹⁹ Thou wilt say then unto me, "Why then blameth he us yet? For who can resist his will?" ²⁰ But O man what art thou, which disputest with God? Shall the work say to the workman, "Why hast thou made me on this fashion?" ²¹ Hath not the potter power over the clay, even of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? ²² Even so, God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, suffered with long patience the vessels of wrath, ordained to damnation, ²³ that he might declare the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared unto glory: ²⁴ that is to say, us which he called, not of the Jews only, but also of the gentiles.

³ For they are ignorant of the righteousness which is allowed before God, and go about to establish their own righteousness: and therefore, are not obedient unto the righteousness which is of value before God.

¹² There is no difference between the Jew and the gentile. For one is Lord of all: which is rich unto all that call on him. ¹³ For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be safe. ¹⁴ But how shall they call on him, on whom they believed not? How shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without a preacher?

²⁰ Isaiah, after that, is bold and saith, "I am found of them that sought me not, and have appeared to them that asked not after me."

¹³ I speak to you gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles I will magnify mine office

²² Behold the kindness and rigorousness of God: on them which fell, rigorousness: but towards thee, kindness; if thou continue in his kindness. Or else thou shalt be hewn off,

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy, in the holy ghost.

¹⁹ Let us follow those things which make for peace: and things wherewith one may edify another.

⁷ Wherefore receive ye one another as Christ received us, to the praise of God.

¹³ The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may be rich in hope through the power of the holy ghost.

¹⁵ Nevertheless, brethren, I have somewhat boldly written unto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is given me of God ¹⁶ for this purpose: that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ among the gentiles, and should minister the glad tidings of God, that the gentiles might be an acceptable offering, sanctified by the holy ghost. ¹⁷ I have, therefore, whereof I may rejoice in Christ Jesus, in those things which pertain to God. ¹⁸ For I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the gentiles obedient, with word and deed, ¹⁹ in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the spirit of God: so that from Jerusalem and the coasts round about, unto Illyricum, I have filled all countries with glad tidings of Christ. ²⁰ So have I enforced myself to preach the gospel: not where Christ was named, lest I should have built on another man's foundation, ²¹ but as it is written, "To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that heard not, shall understand."

²⁵ Now go I unto Jerusalem, and minister unto the saints. ²⁶ For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia, to make a certain distribution upon the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

³¹ that I may be delivered from them which believe not in Jewry; and that this my service, which I have to Jerusalem, may be accepted of the saints,

² that ye receive her in the Lord as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her, in whatsoever business she needeth of your aid. For she hath succored many, and mine own self also.

¹⁵ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.

² Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours.

²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty.

⁹ We are God's laborers: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God given unto me, as a wise builder have I laid the foundation; and another hath built thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon. ¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay, than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² If any man build on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, timber, hay, or stubble: ¹³ every man's work shall appear. For the day shall declare it, and it shall be showed in fire, and the fire shall try every man's work what it is. ¹⁴ If any man's work, that he hath built upon, abide; he shall receive a reward. ¹⁵ If any man's work burn; he shall suffer loss. But he shall be safe himself, nevertheless yet as it were through fire.

⁷ For who preferreth thee? What hast thou, that thou hast not received? If thou have received it: why boastest thou as though thou hadst not received it?

⁹ Me thinketh that God hath set forth us, which are apostles, for the lowest of all: as it were, men appointed to death. For we are a gazingstock unto the world, and to the angels, and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake, and ye are wise through Christ: we are weak, and ye are strong. Ye are honorable, and we are despised. ¹¹ Even unto this day we hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted with fists, and have no certain dwelling place, ¹² and labour working with our own hands. We are reviled, and yet we bless. We are persecuted, and suffer it. ¹³ We are evil spoken of, and we pray. We are made as it were the filthiness of the world, the offscouring of all things, even unto this time.

⁶ Either only I and Barnabas have not power this to do?

²² Either, shall we provoke the Lord? Or are we stronger than he?

¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

⁴ He that speaketh with tongues, profiteth himself: he that prophesieth, edifieth the congregation. ⁵ I would that ye all spake with tongues: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he expound it also, that the congregation may have edifying.

¹² Even so ye — forasmuch as ye covet spiritual gifts — seek that ye may have plenty unto the edifying of the congregation.

²⁶ How is it then brethren? When ye come together, every man hath his song, hath his doctrine, hath his tongue, hath his revelation, hath his interpretation: Let all things be done unto edifying.

⁸ And last of all he was seen of me, as of one that was born out of due time. ⁹ For I am the least of all the apostles, which am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God: ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthy: The second man is the Lord, from heaven.

¹⁴ But their minds were blinded. For until this day remaineth the same covering, untaken away, in the old testament when they read it — which in Christ is put away:

¹⁶ Nevertheless when they turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.

⁶ For it is God that commanded the light to shine out of darkness, which hath shined in our hearts, for to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁴ but in all things let us behave ourselves as the ministers of God. In much patience, in afflictions, in necessity, in anguish,

¹ Seeing that we have such promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and grow up to full holiness in the fear of God.

¹² For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

⁸ And though I should boast myself somewhat more of our authority which the Lord hath given us to edify and not to destroy you, it should not be to my shame.

²³ They are the ministers of Christ — I speak as a fool — I am more: In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more plenteously, ²⁴ in death often. Of the Jews, five times received I, every time, forty stripes, save one. ²⁵ Thrice was I beaten with rods. I was once stoned. I suffered thrice shipwreck. Night and day have I been in the deep of the sea. ²⁶ In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers; in jeopardies of mine own nation, in jeopardies among the heathen. I have been in perils in cities, in perils in wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

²⁶ In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers; in jeopardies of mine own nation, in jeopardies among the heathen. I have been in perils in cities, in perils in wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; ²⁷ in labour and travail, in watching often, in hunger, in thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness.

³² In the city of Damascus, the governor of the people under king Aretas, laid watch in the city of the Damascenes, and would have caught me, ³³ and at a window was I let down in a basket through the wall, and so escaped his hands.

⁹ and he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect through weakness." Very gladly therefore will I rejoice of my weakness, that the strength of Christ may dwell in me. ¹⁰ Therefore have I delectation in infirmities, in rebukes, in need, in persecutions, in anguish, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁹ Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves? We speak in Christ in the sight of God. But we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

¹⁰ Therefore write I these things being absent, lest when I am present I should use sharpness according to the power which the Lord hath given me, to edify, and not to destroy.

¹ Paul an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and by God the father which raised him from death,

¹³ For ye have heard of my conversation in times past in the Jews' ways, how that beyond measure I persecuted the congregation of God, and spoiled it:

¹³ For ye have heard of my conversation in times past in the Jews' ways, how that beyond measure I persecuted the congregation of God, and spoiled it: ¹⁴ and prevailed in the Jews' law, above many of my companions, which were of mine own nation, and was a much more fervent maintainer of the traditions of the elders. ¹⁵ But when it pleased God, which separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

¹⁵ But when it pleased God, which separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, ¹⁶ for to declare his son by me, that I should preach him among the heathen: Immediately I commended not of the matter with flesh and blood,

¹⁶ for to declare his son by me, that I should preach him among the heathen: Immediately I commended not of the matter with flesh and blood, ¹⁷ neither returned to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but went my ways into Arabia, and came again unto Damascus.

¹⁷ neither returned to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but went my ways into Arabia, and came again unto Damascus.

¹⁷ neither returned to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but went my ways into Arabia, and came again unto Damascus.

¹⁹ No other of the apostles saw I, save James the Lord's brother. ²⁰ The things which I write, behold, God knoweth I lie not. ²¹ After that I went into the coasts of Syria and Cilicia:

²¹ After that I went into the coasts of Syria and Cilicia: ²² and was unknown, as touching my person, unto the congregations of Jewry, which were in Christ. ²³ But they heard only, that he which persecuted us in time past, now preacheth the faith, which before he destroyed. ²⁴ And they glorified God on my behalf.

⁴ and that because of incomers, being false brethren, which came in among others to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

⁷ But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel over the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel over circumcision was unto Peter - ⁸ For he that was mighty in Peter in the apostleship over the circumcision, the same was mighty in me among the gentiles - ⁹ and therefore when James, Cephas, and John, which seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the righthands, and agreed with us that we should preach among the heathen, and they among the Jews:

⁹ and therefore when James, Cephas, and John, which seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the righthands, and agreed with us that we should preach among the heathen, and they among the Jews:

¹³ and the other Jews dissembled likewise; Insomuch that Barnabas was brought into their simulation also.

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ. I live verily, yet now not I, but Christ liveth in me. For the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God, which loved me, and gave himself for me.

²² But the fruit of the spirit is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance. ²³ Against such there is no law.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God. To the saints which are at Ephesus, and to them which believe on Jesus Christ.

¹³ In whom also ye — after that ye heard the word of truth, I mean the gospel of your salvation wherein ye believed — were sealed with the holy spirit of promise, ¹⁴ which is the earnest of our inheritance, to redeem the possession purchased, and that unto the laud of his glory.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

⁷ whereof I am made a minister, by the gift of the grace of God given unto me, through the working of his power. ⁸ Unto me, the least of all saints, is this grace given; that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

¹² that the saints might have all things necessary to work and minister withal, to the edifying of the body of Christ,

¹⁶ in whom all the body is coupled and knit together, in every joint, wherewith one ministereth to another — according to the operation as every part hath his measure — and increaseth the body, unto the edifying of itself in love.

²⁸ Let him that stole, steal no more; but let him rather labour with his hands some good thing, that he may have to give unto him that needeth. ²⁹ Let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify withal, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers.

²¹ submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

¹⁸ and pray always with all manner prayer and supplication — and that in the spirit — and watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints, ¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter the secrets of the gospel,

¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter the secrets of the gospel, ²⁰ whereof I am a messenger in bonds, that therein I may speak freely, as it becometh me to speak.

¹ Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ. To all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

¹¹ filled with the fruits of righteousness, which fruits come by Jesus Christ unto the glory and laud of God.

¹ If there be among you any consolation in Christ, if there be any comfortable love, if there be any fellowship of the spirit, if there be any compassion of mercy:

¹² Wherefore, my dearly beloved, as ye have always obeyed — not when I was present only, but now much more in mine absence — even so work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

⁶ and as concerning ferventness I persecuted the congregation, and as touching the righteousness which is in the law, I was unrebukable.

¹³ I can do all things through the help of Christ, which strengtheneth me.

¹⁰ that ye might walk worthy of the Lord in all things that please, being fruitful in all good works and increasing in the knowledge of God

²⁵ whereof am I made a minister according to the ordinance of God, which ordinance was given me unto you ward, to fulfill the word of God: ²⁶ that mystery, hid since the world began, and since the beginning of generations: But now is opened to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God would make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the hope of glory, ²⁸ whom we preach warning all men, and teaching all men in all wisdom, to make all men perfect in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ Wherein I also labour and strive, even as far forth as his working worketh in me mightily.

³ without ceasing, and call to remembrance your work in the faith, and labour in love and perseverance in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God our father:

⁹ for they themselves show of you what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from images for to serve the living and true God, ¹⁰ and for to look for his son from heaven, whom he raised from death: I mean Jesus, which delivereth us from wrath to come.

¹⁵ which as they killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, even so have they persecuted us, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men: ¹⁶ and forbid us to preach unto the gentiles, that they might be saved, to fulfill their sins always: For the wrath of God is come on them, even to the utmost.

³ that no man should be moved in these afflictions. For ye yourselves know that we are even appointed thereunto.

¹⁰ Yea, and that thing verily ye do unto all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia. We beseech you brethren that ye increase, more and more,

¹³ I would not, brethren, have you ignorant concerning them which are fallen asleep, that ye sorrow not as others do which have no hope.

¹¹ Wherefore, comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as ye do.

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be made marvelous in all them that believe: because our testimony that we had unto you, was believed even the same day that we preached it.

¹⁶ Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, ¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in all doctrine and good doing.

⁴ neither give heed to fables and genealogies, which are endless, and breed doubts, more than Godly edifying which is by faith:

¹³ when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief:

¹³ when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief: ¹⁴ Neverthelater, the grace of our Lord was more abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ Neverthelater, the grace of our Lord was more abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief:

¹⁵ This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ for this cause was mercy given unto me, that Jesus Christ should first show on me all long patience, unto the example of them which shall, in time to come, believe on him unto eternal life.

⁷ whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle — I tell the truth in Christ and lie not — being the teacher of the gentiles in faith and verity.

⁹ Likewise also the women, that they array themselves in comely apparel with shamefastness, and discreet behavior, not with broided hair, other gold, or pearls, or costly array: ¹⁰ but with such as becometh women that profess the worshipping of God through good works.

¹⁴ Despise not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee through prophecy, and with laying on of the hands of an elder.

¹⁰ and well reported of in good works: if she have nourished children, if she have been liberal to strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered unto them which were in adversity, if she were continually given unto all manner good works.

²² Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: Keep thyself pure.

¹⁶ which only hath immortality, and dwelleth in light that no man can attain, whom never man saw, neither can see: unto whom be honour and rule everlasting. Amen.

⁶ Wherefore I warn thee that thou stir up the gift of God which is in thee, by the putting on of my hands.

¹¹ whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles: ¹² for the which cause I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and am sure that he is able keep that which I have committed to his keeping against that day.

⁴ No man that warreth entangleth himself with worldly business; and that, because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier.

⁹ wherein I suffer trouble as an evil doer, even unto bonds. But the word of God was not bound. ¹⁰ Herefore I suffer all things, for the elects' sakes, that they might also obtain that salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

²⁰ Notwithstanding, in a great house are not only vessels of gold and of silver: but also of wood and of earth: Some for honour, and some unto dishonour. ²¹ But if a man purge himself from such fellows, he shall be a vessel sanctified unto honour meet for the Lord, and prepared unto all good works. ²² Lusts of youth avoid, and follow righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart.

¹¹ persecutions, and afflictions which happened unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: which persecutions I suffered patiently; And from them all the Lord delivered me.

¹⁶ At my first answering for myself, no man assisted me, but all forsook me. I pray God, that it may not be laid to their charges: ¹⁷ notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preaching should be fulfilled to the utmost and that all the gentiles should hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

⁷ Above all things, show thyself an example of good works with uncorrupt doctrine, with honesty,

¹⁴ which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.

⁸ This is a true saying. Of these things I would thou shouldest certify, that they which believe God, might be diligent to go forward in good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

¹⁶ not now as a servant: but above a servant, I mean a brother beloved, specially to me: but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and also in the Lord?

⁹ There remaineth therefore yet a rest to the people of God.

² of baptism, of doctrine, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection from death, and of eternal judgment.

²¹ make you perfect in all good works, to do his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ: To whom be praise for ever while the world endureth. Amen.

²⁷ Pure devotion, and undefiled before God the father, is this: To visit the friendless, and widows in their adversity, and to keep himself unspotted of the world.

¹⁵ If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you say unto them, "Depart in peace, God send you warmness and food," notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body: what helpeth it them? ¹⁷ Even so faith, if it have no deeds, is dead in itself.

⁶ but giveth more grace?

²² And forasmuch as ye have purified your souls through the spirit, in obeying the truth for to love brotherly without feigning, see that ye love one another with a pure heart, fervently: ²³ for ye are born anew, not of mortal seed, but of immortal seed, by the word of God which liveth, and lasteth forever.

¹⁴ If ye be railed upon for the name of Christ; happy are ye. For the spirit of glory and the spirit of God resteth upon you. On their part he is evil spoken of: but on your part he is glorified.

¹ Behold what love the father hath showed on us, that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth you not; because it knoweth not him.

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue: but with the deed, and of a truth:

¹⁴ And we have seen and do testify that the father hath sent his son, which is the saviour of the world. ¹⁵ Whosoever confesseth that Jesus is the son of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God.

³ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, to exhort you, that ye should continually labour in the faith, which was once given unto the saints.

⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when he strove against the devil, and disputed the body of Moses, durst not give railing sentence, but said, "The Lord rebuke thee."

²⁰ But ye, dearly beloved, edify yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the holy ghost,

⁹ John, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience which is in Jesus Christ, was in the isle of Patmos for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ "And unto the messenger of the congregation of Thyatira write, 'This saith the son of God, which hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, whose feet are like brass:

¹⁴ These shall fight with the lamb, and the lamb shall overcome them: For he is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, are called, and chosen, and faithful."

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to lighten it. For the brightness of God did light it: and the lamb was the light of it.

⁵ And there shall be no more night there and they need no candle, neither light of the sun: for the Lord God giveth them light, and they shall reign for evermore.
