…and Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, named Jesus!”

As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

When they reached Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.

“Into what, then, were you baptized?” Paul asked. “The baptism of John,” they replied.

On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.

There is danger not only that our business will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”

Soon the whole city was in disarray. They rushed together into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia.

Even some of Paul’s friends who were officials of the province of Asia sent word to him, begging him not to venture into the theatre.

And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead.

…crying out, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and against our law and against this place. Furthermore, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”

For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

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.

As they were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.

“Aren’t you the Egyptian who incited a rebellion some time ago and led four thousand members of the Assassins into the wilderness?”

I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,

Then I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ ‘Get up and go into Damascus,’ He told me. ‘There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.’

Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus.

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

As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,

…the commander ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. He directed that Paul be flogged and interrogated to determine the reason for this outcry against him.

The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the barracks.

But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.

Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.

Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.

After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

But Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.

As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.

…through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

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 sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

…that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)

…or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

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.”

For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

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

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?

…so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.

They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.

So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.

But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?

…nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.

In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.

In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,

…encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.

And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.

Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.

For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.

They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,

And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”

When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.

By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.

That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.

But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.

Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.

But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?

When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

…and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,

It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

…who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.

Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.

…and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.

For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed for profit into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.

Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
