Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

But I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and since he has now appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

For the king knows about these matters, and I can speak freely to him. I am confident that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.

On their way out, they said to one another, “This man has done nothing worthy of death or imprisonment.”

…and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’

When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Although he was saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”

For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’

Be advised, therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”

For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.

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.

What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has discovered?

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.

Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.

It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.

…including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?

…but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.

But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.

“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”

“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”

“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,

Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.

The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.

But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.

For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me

I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

Welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her with anything she may need from you. For she has been a great help to many people, including me.

Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.

Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, women who have worked hard in the Lord. Greet my beloved Persis, who has worked very hard in the Lord.

Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me as well.

Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

Gaius, who has hosted me and all the church, sends you greetings. Erastus, the city treasurer, sends you greetings, as does our brother Quartus.

I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.

God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.

If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.

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.

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.

Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.

Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.

But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

…but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

…whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

…whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.

Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?

But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.

And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.

For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.

For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.
