44-ACTS
44-1:1 The
former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of
all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
44-2:17 And
it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall
dream dreams:
44-2:18 And
on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour
out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
44-2:19 And
I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs
in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
44-2:25 For
David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the
Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
44-2:35 Until
I make thy foes thy footstool.
44-3:6 Then
Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but
such as I have give I
thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
44-3:17 And
now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye
did it, as did also your rulers.
44-5:38 And
now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and
let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to
nought:
44-7:3 And
said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into
the land which I shall shew thee.
44-7:7 And
the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I
judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this
place.
44-7:32 Saying, I
am the God of thy fathers, the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and
durst not behold.
44-7:34 I have seen, I have
seen the affliction of my people which is in
44-7:43 Yea,
ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures
which ye made to worship them: and I will carry
you away beyond
44-7:56 And
said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the
Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
44-8:19 Saying,
Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay
hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
44-8:23 For
I perceive that thou art in the gall of
bitterness, and in the bond of
iniquity.
44-8:31 And
he said, How can I, except some man should guide
me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
44-8:34 And
the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray
thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
44-8:37 And
Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he
answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ
is the Son of God.
44-9:5 And
he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I
am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard
for thee to kick against the pricks.
44-9:10 And
there was a certain disciple at
44-9:13 Then
Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of
this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at
44-9:16 For
I will shew him how great things he must suffer
for my name’s sake.
44-10:14 But
Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten
any thing that is common or unclean.
44-10:20 Arise
therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
44-10:21 Then
Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said,
Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
44-10:26 But
Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself
also am a man.
44-10:28 And
he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a
Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me
that I should not call any man common or
unclean.
44-10:29 Therefore
came I unto
you without gainsaying, as soon as I was
sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye
have sent for me?
44-10:30 And
Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting
until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in
my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
44-10:33 Immediately
therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well
done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to
hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
44-10:34 Then
Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of
a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons:
44-10:37 That
word, I
say, ye know, which was published throughout all
44-11:5 I was in the city of
44-11:6 Upon
the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth,
and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
44-11:7 And
I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter;
slay and eat.
44-11:8 But
I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or
unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
44-11:11 And,
behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from
44-11:15 And
as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on
them, as on us at the beginning.
44-11:16 Then
remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he
said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy
Ghost.
44-11:17 Forasmuch
then as God gave them the like gift as he
did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could
withstand God?
44-12:11 And
when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I
know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out
of the hand of Herod, and from all
the expectation of the people of the Jews.
44-13:2 As
they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me
Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have
called them.
44-13:22 And
when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom
also he gave testimony, and said, I have found
David the son of Jesse, a man after
mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
44-13:25 And
as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after
me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
44-13:33 God
hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus
again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day
have I begotten thee.
44-13:34 And
as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
44-13:41 Behold,
ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work
a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man
declare it unto you.
44-13:47 For
so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that
thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
44-15:16 After
this I will return, and will build again the
tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I
will build again the ruins thereof, and I will
set it up:
44-16:18 And
this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit,
I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to
come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
44-16:30 And
brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do
to be saved?
44-17:3 Opening
and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the
dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto
you, is Christ.
44-17:22 Then
Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in
all things ye are too superstitious.
44-17:23 For
as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN
GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I
unto you.
44-18:6 And
when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
44-18:10 For
I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to
hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
44-18:14 And
when Paul was now about to open his mouth,
Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
44-18:15 But
if it be a question of words and names, and of
your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
44-18:21 But
bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means
keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I
will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
44-19:15 And
the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know,
and Paul I know; but who are ye?
44-19:21 After
these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed
through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I
must also see Rome.
44-20:18 And
when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that
I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
44-20:20 And how I
kept back nothing that was profitable unto
you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to
house,
44-20:22 And
now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto
Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
44-20:24 But
none of these things move me, neither count I my
life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my
course with joy, and the ministry, which I have
received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
44-20:25 And
now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my
face no more.
44-20:26 Wherefore
I take you to record this day, that I am pure
from the blood of all men.
44-20:27 For
I have not shunned to declare unto you all the
counsel of God.
44-20:29 For
I know this, that after my departing shall
grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
44-20:31 Therefore
watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I
ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
44-20:32 And
now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the
word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an
inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
44-20:33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
44-20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye
ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he
said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
44-21:13 Then
Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
44-21:37 And
as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
44-21:39 But
Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a
city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I
beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
44-22:1 Men,
brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which
I make now unto you.
44-22:3 I am verily a man which
am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in
Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect
manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are
this day.
44-22:4 And
I persecuted this way unto the death, binding
and delivering into prisons both men and women.
44-22:5 As
also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders:
from whom also I received letters unto the
brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto
Jerusalem, for to be punished.
44-22:6 And
it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and
was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a
great light round about me.
44-22:7 And
I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying
unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
44-22:8 And
I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto
me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou
persecutest.
44-22:10 And
I said, What shall I
do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it
shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
44-22:11 And
when I could not see for the glory of that
light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
44-22:13 Came
unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the
same hour I looked up upon him.
44-22:17 And
it came to pass, that, when I was come again to
Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
44-22:19 And
I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that
believed on thee:
44-22:20 And
when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I
also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them
that slew him.
44-22:21 And
he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee
far hence unto the Gentiles.
44-22:28 And
the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I
this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
44-23:1 And
Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all
good conscience before God until this day.
44-23:5 Then
said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the
high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy
people.
44-23:6 But
when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees,
he cried out in the council, Men and brethren,
I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the
hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in
question.
44-23:27 This
man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood
that he was a Roman.
44-23:28 And
when I would have known the cause wherefore they
accused him, I brought him forth into their
council:
44-23:29 Whom
I perceived to be accused of questions of their
law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
44-23:30 And
when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to
his accusers also to say before thee what they
had against him. Farewell.
44-23:35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are
also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
44-24:4 Notwithstanding,
that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency
a few words.
44-24:10 Then
Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered,
Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many
years a judge unto this nation, I do the more
cheerfully answer for myself:
44-24:11 Because
that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
44-24:14 But
this I confess unto thee, that after the way
which they call heresy, so worship I the God of
my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the
prophets:
44-24:16 And
herein do I exercise myself, to have always a
conscience void of offence toward God, and toward
men.
44-24:17 Now
after many years I came to bring alms to my
nation, and offerings.
44-24:20 Or
else let these same here say, if they
have found any evil doing in me, while I stood
before the council,
44-24:21 Except
it be for this one voice, that I cried standing
among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I
am called in question by you this day.
44-24:22 And
when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said,
When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I
will know the uttermost of your matter.
44-24:25 And
as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix
trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I
have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
44-25:8 While
he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against
the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I
offended any thing at all.
44-25:10 Then
said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat,
where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
44-25:11 For
if I be an offender, or have committed any thing
worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if
there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me
unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
44-25:15 About
whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests
and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring
to have judgment against him.
44-25:16 To
whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans
to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers
face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid
against him.
44-25:17 Therefore,
when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to
be brought forth.
44-25:18 Against
whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as
I supposed:
44-25:20 And
because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether
he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
44-25:21 But
when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
44-25:22 Then
Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the
man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
44-25:25 But
when I found that he had committed nothing
worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
44-25:26 Of
whom I have no certain thing to write unto my
lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before
you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
44-26:2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee
touching all the things whereof I am accused of
the Jews:
44-26:3 Especially
because I
know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the
Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me
patiently.
44-26:5 Which
knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most
straitest sect of our religion I lived a
Pharisee.
44-26:6 And
now I stand and am judged for the hope of the
promise made of God unto our fathers:
44-26:7 Unto
which promise our twelve tribes,
instantly serving God day and night,
hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I
am accused of the Jews.
44-26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus
of Nazareth.
44-26:10 Which
thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the
saints did I shut up in prison, having received
authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
44-26:11 And
I punished them oft in every synagogue, and
compelled them to blaspheme; and
being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted
them even unto strange cities.
44-26:12 Whereupon
as I went to Damascus with authority and
commission from the chief priests,
44-26:13 At
midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from
heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which
journeyed with me.
44-26:14 And
when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a
voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me? it is hard for
thee to kick against the pricks.
44-26:15 And
I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
44-26:16 But
rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have
appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both
of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
44-26:17 Delivering
thee from the people, and from the
Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
44-26:19 Whereupon,
O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the
heavenly vision:
44-26:22 Having
therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto
this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those
which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
44-26:25 But
he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but
speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
44-26:26 For
the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I
speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of
these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
44-26:27 King
Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know
that thou believest.
44-26:29 And
Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but
also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
44-27:10 And
said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this
voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but
also of our lives.
44-27:22 And
now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there
shall be no loss of any man’s life
among you, but of the ship.
44-27:23 For
there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I
am, and whom I serve,
44-27:25 Wherefore,
sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that
it shall be even as it was told me.
44-27:34 Wherefore
I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair
fall from the head of any of you.
44-28:17 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.
44-28:19 But
when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
44-28:20 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.
44-28:27 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.
45-ROMANS
45-1:8 First,
I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all,
that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
45-1:9 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;
45-1:10 Making
request, if by any means now at length I might
have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
45-1:11 For
I long to see you, that I
may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
45-1:12 That
is, that I may be comforted together with you by
the mutual faith both of you and me.
45-1:13 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.
45-1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians;
both to the wise, and to the unwise.
45-1:15 So,
as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the
gospel to you that are at Rome also.
45-1:16 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.
45-3:5 But
if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?
(I speak as a man)
45-3:7 For
if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet
am I also judged as a sinner?
45-3:26 To
declare, I
say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier
of him which believeth in Jesus.
45-4:17 (As
it is written, I have made thee a father of many
nations,) before him whom he believed, even
God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as
though they were.
45-6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the
infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to
uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members
servants to righteousness unto holiness.
45-7:1 Know
ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know
the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
45-7:7 What
shall we say then? is the law sin?
God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the
law: for I had not known lust, except the law had
said, Thou shalt not covet.
45-7:9 For
I was alive without the law once: but when the
commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
45-7:10 And
the commandment, which was ordained to
life, I found to be unto death.
45-7:14 For
we know that the law is spiritual: but I am
carnal, sold under sin.
45-7:15 For
that which I do I
allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate,
that do I.
45-7:16 If
then I do that which I
would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
45-7:17 Now
then it is no more I that do it, but sin that
dwelleth in me.
45-7:18 For
I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,)
dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
45-7:19 For
the good that I would I
do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
45-7:20 Now
if I do that I
would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin
that dwelleth in me.
45-7:21 I find then a law, that, when I
would do good, evil is present with me.
45-7:22 For
I delight in the law of God after the inward
man:
45-7:23 But
I see another law in my members, warring against
the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is
in my members.
45-7:24 O
wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me
from the body of this death?
45-7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then
with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but
with the flesh the law of sin.
45-8:18 For
I reckon that the sufferings of this present
time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which
shall be revealed in us.
45-8:38 For
I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to
come,
45-9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I
lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
45-9:2 That
I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in
my heart.
45-9:3 For
I could wish that myself were accursed from
Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
45-9:9 For
this is the word of promise, At this
time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
