At

At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me

I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.

Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.

…and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.

He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.

When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”

At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.

When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.

Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas

When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.

At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.

This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.

But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.

And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.

She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.

Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.

At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.

At that, Paul left the Areopagus.

At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.

When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.

When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.

While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples

And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in nearly the whole province of Asia, this Paul has persuaded a great number of people to turn away. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all.

And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.

Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios. The day after that we arrived at Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.

After sighting Cyprus and passing south of it, we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, where the ship was to unload its cargo.

When we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for a day.

Leaving the next day, we went on to Caesarea and stayed at the home of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven.

Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us, and they took us to stay at the home of Mnason the Cypriot, an early disciple.

When the seven days were almost over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,

The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.

Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, and some another. And since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks.

“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.

…came and stood beside me. ‘Brother Saul,’ he said, ‘receive your sight.’ And at that moment I could see him.

Later, when I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance

At once those who were about to interrogate Paul stepped back, and the commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains.

Paul looked directly at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have conducted myself before God in all good conscience to this day.”

At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.

When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.

At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia

At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.

Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.

At this stage of Paul’s defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You are insane, Paul! Your great learning is driving you to madness!”

The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.

Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

From there we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at Puteoli.

…in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

…in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.

He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.

For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.

For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.

But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.

For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.

For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”

In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.

If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.

Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.

…you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?

Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.

If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.

If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.

After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.

If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

…in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.

Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,

We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed.

So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.

We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

So we aspire to please Him, whether we are at home in this body or away from it.

At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. This way there will be equality.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.

For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
