AC-28: 8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. AC-28: 9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: AC-28: 10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded [us] with such things as were necessary. AC-28: 11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. AC-28: 12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days. AC-28: 13 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: AC-28: 14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome. AC-28: 15 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. AC-28: 16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. AC-28: 17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men [and] brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. AC-28: 18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let [me] go, because there was no cause of death in me. AC-28: 19 But when the Jews spake against [it] , I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. AC-28: 20 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. AC-28: 21 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came showed or spake any harm of thee. AC-28: 22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. AC-28: 23 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. AC-28: 24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. AC-28: 25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, AC-28: 26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: AC-28: 27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. AC-28: 28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it. AC-28: 29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. AC-28: 30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, AC-28: 31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. RO-1: 1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, RO-1: 2 ( Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures, ) RO-1: 3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; RO-1: 4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: RO-1: 5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: RO-1: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: RO-1: 7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. RO-1: 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. RO-1: 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; RO-1: 10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. RO-1: 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; RO-1: 12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. RO-1: 13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, ( but was let hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. RO-1: 14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. RO-1: 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. RO-1: 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. RO-1: 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. RO-1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; RO-1: 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed [it] unto them. RO-1: 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: RO-1: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. RO-1: 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, RO-1: 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. RO-1: 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: RO-1: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. RO-1: 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: RO-1: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. RO-1: 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; RO-1: 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, RO-1: 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, RO-1: 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: RO-1: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. RO-2: 1 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. RO-2: 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. RO-2: 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? RO-2: 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? RO-2: 5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; RO-2: 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: RO-2: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: RO-2: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, RO-2: 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; RO-2: 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: RO-2: 11 For there is no respect of persons with God. RO-2: 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; RO-2: 13 ( For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. RO-2: 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: RO-2: 15 Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; ) RO-2: 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. RO-2: 17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, RO-2: 18 And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; RO-2: 19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, RO-2: 20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
RO-2: 21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? RO-2: 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? RO-2: 23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? RO-2: 24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. RO-2: 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. RO-2: 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? RO-2: 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? RO-2: 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: RO-2: 29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God. RO-3: 1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision? RO-3: 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. RO-3: 3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? RO-3: 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. RO-3: 5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? ( I speak as a man) RO-3: 6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? RO-3: 7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? RO-3: 8 And not [rather] , ( as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say, ) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. RO-3: 9 What then? are we better [than they] ? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; RO-3: 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: RO-3: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. RO-3: 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. RO-3: 13 Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips: RO-3: 14 Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness: RO-3: 15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood: RO-3: 16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways: RO-3: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: RO-3: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. RO-3: 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. RO-3: 20 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. RO-3: 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; RO-3: 22 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: RO-3: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; RO-3: 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: RO-3: 25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; RO-3: 26 To declare, [I say] , at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
