On

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 heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”

But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.

For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”

While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.

When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.

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

And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.

These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.

On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight.

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.

But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”

We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.

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 we had torn ourselves away from them, we sailed directly to Cos, and the next day on to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

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.

But when our time there had ended, we set out on our journey. All the disciples, with their wives and children, accompanied us out of the city and knelt down on the beach to pray with us.

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

After these days, we packed up and went on to Jerusalem.

Having received permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. A great hush came over the crowd, and he addressed them in Hebrew:

…as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.

And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’

On hearing this, the centurion went and reported it to the commander. “What are you going to do?” he said. “This man is a Roman citizen.”

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

Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”

Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”

Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”

He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.

The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.

…unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”

As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”

After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.

But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”

So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.

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.

For it seems unreasonable to me to send on a prisoner without specifying the charges against him.”

And now I stand on trial because of my hope in the promise that God made to our fathers,

In this pursuit I was on my way to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.

About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my companions.

‘But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen from Me and what I will show you.

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

There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, hoping that somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.

After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.

On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.

However, we must run aground on some island.”

On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.

Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.

In all, there were 276 of us on board.

The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land.

Paul gathered a bundle of sticks, and as he laid them on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand.

The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man.

After this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured as well.

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.

Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

…on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;

But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.

“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.

Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.

Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.

Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”

For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

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

For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”

For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,

…for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.

Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.

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

Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

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

On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
