chapter_John_4 | {
"content": "John 4:1: When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John, John 4:2: (though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,) John 4:3: he left Judea and went away again to Galilee, John 4:4: and it was behoving him to go through Samaria. John 4:5: He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son; John 4:6: and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour; John 4:7: there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, 'Give me to drink;' John 4:8: for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals; John 4:9: the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, 'How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans. John 4:10: Jesus answered and said to her, 'If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.' John 4:11: The woman saith to him, 'Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water? John 4:12: Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?' John 4:13: Jesus answered and said to her, 'Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again; John 4:14: but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst — to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.' John 4:15: The woman saith unto him, 'Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.' John 4:16: Jesus saith to her, 'Go, call thy husband, and come hither;' John 4:17: the woman answered and said, 'I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, 'Well didst thou say — A husband I have not; John 4:18: for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.' John 4:19: The woman saith to him, 'Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet; John 4:20: our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye — ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.' John 4:21: Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father; John 4:22: ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews; John 4:23: but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him; John 4:24: God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.' John 4:25: The woman saith to him, 'I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;' John 4:26: Jesus saith to her, 'I am he, who am speaking to thee.' John 4:27: And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, 'What seekest thou?' or 'Why speakest thou with her?' John 4:28: The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men, John 4:29: Come, see a man, who told me all things — as many as I did; is this the Christ?' John 4:30: They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him. John 4:31: And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, 'Rabbi, eat;' John 4:32: and he said to them, 'I have food to eat that ye have not known.' John 4:33: The disciples then said one to another, 'Did any one bring him anything to eat?' John 4:34: Jesus saith to them, 'My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work; John 4:35: do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already. John 4:36: 'And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together; John 4:37: for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper. John 4:38: I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered. John 4:39: And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, — 'He told me all things — as many as I did.' John 4:40: When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days; John 4:41: and many more did believe because of his word, John 4:42: and said to the woman — 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world — the Christ.' John 4:43: And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee, John 4:44: for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour; John 4:45: when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast — for they also went to the feast. John 4:46: Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum, John 4:47: he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die. John 4:48: Jesus then said unto him, 'If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.' John 4:49: The courtier saith unto him, 'Sir, come down before my child die;' John 4:50: Jesus saith to him, 'Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on, John 4:51: and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying — 'Thy child doth live;' John 4:52: he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him — 'Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;' John 4:53: then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him — 'Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house; John 4:54: this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of Judea to Galilee.",

chapter_John_5 | {
"content": "John 5:1: After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, John 5:2: and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -gate a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches, John 5:3: in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water, John 5:4: for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held. John 5:5: and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years, John 5:6: him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, 'Dost thou wish to become whole?' John 5:7: The ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.' John 5:8: Jesus saith to him, 'Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;' John 5:9: and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day, John 5:10: the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, 'It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.' John 5:11: He answered them, 'He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;' John 5:12: they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?' John 5:13: But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place. John 5:14: After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, 'Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.' John 5:15: The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole, John 5:16: and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath. John 5:17: And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, and I work;' John 5:18: because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God. John 5:19: Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth; John 5:20: for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder. John 5:21: 'For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth; John 5:22: for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son, John 5:23: that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. John 5:24: Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life. John 5:25: Verily, verily, I say to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live; John 5:26: for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself, John 5:27: and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man. John 5:28: 'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice, John 5:29: and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment. John 5:30: 'I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me. John 5:31: 'If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true; John 5:32: another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true; John 5:33: ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth. John 5:34: 'But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved; John 5:35: he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light. John 5:36: 'But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me. John 5:37: 'And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen; John 5:38: and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe. John 5:39: 'Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; John 5:40: and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life; John 5:41: glory from man I do not receive, John 5:42: but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves. John 5:43: 'I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive; John 5:44: how are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not? John 5:45: Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped; John 5:46: for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me; John 5:47: but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'",

chapter_John_6 | {
"content": "John 6:1: After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias), John 6:2: and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing; John 6:3: and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples, John 6:4: and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews. John 6:5: Jesus then having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, 'Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' — John 6:6: and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do. John 6:7: Philip answered him, 'Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;' John 6:8: one of his disciples — Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter — saith to him, John 6:9: There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these — what are they to so many?' John 6:10: And Jesus said, 'Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand, John 6:11: and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished. John 6:12: And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, 'Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;' John 6:13: they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten. John 6:14: The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said — 'This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;' John 6:15: Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone. John 6:16: And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, John 6:17: and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them, John 6:18: the sea also — a great wind blowing — was being raised, John 6:19: having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid; John 6:20: and he saith to them, 'I am he, be not afraid;' John 6:21: they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going. John 6:22: On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one — that into which his disciples entered — and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone, John 6:23: (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks), John 6:24: when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus; John 6:25: and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?' John 6:26: Jesus answered them and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied; John 6:27: work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal — even God.' John 6:28: They said therefore unto him, 'What may we do that we may work the works of God?' John 6:29: Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.' John 6:30: They said therefore to him, 'What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work? John 6:31: our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.' John 6:32: Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven; John 6:33: for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.' John 6:34: They said, therefore, unto him, 'Sir, always give us this bread.' John 6:35: And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time; John 6:36: but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not; John 6:37: all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without, John 6:38: because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me. John 6:39: 'And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day; John 6:40: and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.' John 6:41: The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;' John 6:42: and they said, 'Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one — Out of the heaven I have come down?' John 6:43: Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, 'Murmur not one with another; John 6:44: no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day; John 6:45: it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me; John 6:46: not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father. John 6:47: 'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during; John 6:48: I am the bread of the life; John 6:49: your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died; John 6:50: this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. John 6:51: I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' John 6:52: The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?' John 6:53: Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; John 6:54: he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; John 6:55: for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; John 6:56: he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him. John 6:57: 'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; John 6:58: this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.' John 6:59: These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum; John 6:60: many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to hear it?' John 6:61: And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you? John 6:62: if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before? John 6:63: the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life; John 6:64: but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up, John 6:65: and he said, 'Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.' John 6:66: From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him, John 6:67: Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, 'Do ye also wish to go away?' John 6:68: Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, 'Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during; John 6:69: and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' John 6:70: Jesus answered them, 'Did not I choose you — the twelve? and of you — one is a devil. John 6:71: And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.",

chapter_John_7 | {
"content": "John 7:1: And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him, John 7:2: and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles — John 7:3: his brethren, therefore, said unto him, 'Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost; John 7:4: for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;' John 7:5: for not even were his brethren believing in him. John 7:6: Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready; John 7:7: the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil. John 7:8: Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;' John 7:9: and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee. John 7:10: And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret; John 7:11: the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, 'Where is that one?' John 7:12: and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;' John 7:13: no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews. John 7:14: And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching, John 7:15: and the Jews were wondering, saying, 'How hath this one known letters — not having learned?' John 7:16: Jesus answered them and said, 'My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me; John 7:17: if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself. John 7:18: 'He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him; John 7:19: hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?' John 7:20: The multitude answered and said, 'Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?' John 7:21: Jesus answered and said to them, 'One work I did, and ye all wonder, John 7:22: because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man; John 7:23: if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath? John 7:24: judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.' John 7:25: Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, 'Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill? John 7:26: and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ? John 7:27: but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.' John 7:28: Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, 'Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known; John 7:29: and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.' John 7:30: They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come, John 7:31: and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — 'The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?' John 7:32: The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him; John 7:33: Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me; John 7:34: ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.' John 7:35: The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, 'Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks; John 7:36: what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?' John 7:37: And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, 'If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink; John 7:38: he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;' John 7:39: and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:40: Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, 'This is truly the Prophet;' John 7:41: others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come? John 7:42: Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?' John 7:43: A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him. John 7:44: And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him; John 7:45: the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, 'Wherefore did ye not bring him?' John 7:46: The officers answered, 'Never so spake man — as this man.' John 7:47: The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, 'Have ye also been led astray? John 7:48: did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees? John 7:49: but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.' John 7:50: Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them, John 7:51: 'Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?' John 7:52: They answered and said to him, 'Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;' John 7:53: and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.",

chapter_John_8 | {
"content": "John 8:1: And at dawn he came again to the temple, John 8:2: and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them; John 8:3: and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst, John 8:4: they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery, John 8:5: and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?' John 8:6: and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground, John 8:7: and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;' John 8:8: and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground, John 8:9: and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. John 8:10: And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?' John 8:11: and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.' John 8:12: Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.' John 8:13: The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;' John 8:14: Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go. John 8:15: 'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one, John 8:16: and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me; John 8:17: and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true; John 8:18: I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.' John 8:19: They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.' John 8:20: These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come; John 8:21: therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.' John 8:22: The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?' John 8:23: and he said to them, 'Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world; John 8:24: I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.' John 8:25: They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning; John 8:26: many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.' John 8:27: They knew not that of the Father he spake to them; John 8:28: Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak; John 8:29: and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.' John 8:30: As he is speaking these things, many believed in him; John 8:31: Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth, John 8:32: and the truth shall make you free.' John 8:33: They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?' John 8:34: Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin, John 8:35: and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; John 8:36: if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free. John 8:37: 'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you; John 8:38: I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.' John 8:39: They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing; John 8:40: and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not; John 8:41: ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;' John 8:42: Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me; John 8:43: wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word. John 8:44: Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father. John 8:45: 'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me. John 8:46: Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me? John 8:47: he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.' John 8:48: The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?' John 8:49: Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me; John 8:50: and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging; John 8:51: verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' John 8:52: The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! John 8:53: Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?' John 8:54: Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God; John 8:55: and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep; John 8:56: Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.' John 8:57: The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?' John 8:58: Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;' John 8:59: they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.",

chapter_John_9 | {
"content": "John 9:1: And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth, John 9:2: and his disciples asked him, saying, 'Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?' John 9:3: Jesus answered, 'Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him; John 9:4: it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: — John 9:5: when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.' John 9:6: These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, John 9:7: 'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing; John 9:8: the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?' John 9:9: others said — 'This is he;' and others — 'He is like to him;' he himself said, — 'I am he.' John 9:10: They said, therefore, to him, 'How were thine eyes opened?' John 9:11: he answered and said, 'A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;' John 9:12: they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.' John 9:13: They bring him to the Pharisees who once was blind, John 9:14: and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. John 9:15: Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, 'Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash — and I see.' John 9:16: Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them. John 9:17: They said to the blind man again, 'Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?' John 9:18: and he said — 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight, John 9:19: and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?' John 9:20: His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind; John 9:21: and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.' John 9:22: These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue; John 9:23: because of this his parents said — 'He is of age, ask him.' John 9:24: They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;' John 9:25: he answered, therefore, and said, 'If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.' John 9:26: And they said to him again, 'What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?' John 9:27: He answered them, 'I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?' John 9:28: They reviled him, therefore, and said, 'Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples; John 9:29: we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.' John 9:30: The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes! John 9:31: and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear; John 9:32: from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind; John 9:33: if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.' John 9:34: They answered and said to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without. John 9:35: Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, 'Dost thou believe in the Son of God?' John 9:36: he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?' John 9:37: And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;' John 9:38: and he said, 'I believe, sir,' and bowed before him. John 9:39: And Jesus said, 'For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.' John 9:40: And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, 'Are we also blind?' John 9:41: Jesus said to them, 'If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain.",

"content": "John 10:1: 'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber; John 10:2: and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep; John 10:3: to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth; John 10:4: and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice; John 10:5: and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.' John 10:6: This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them; John 10:7: Jesus said therefore again to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — I am the door of the sheep; John 10:8: all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them; John 10:9: I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture. John 10:10: The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. John 10:11: 'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep; John 10:12: and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep; John 10:13: and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep. John 10:14: I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine, John 10:15: according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep, John 10:16: and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock — one shepherd. John 10:17: 'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it; John 10:18: no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.' John 10:19: Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words, John 10:20: and many of them said, 'He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?' John 10:21: others said, 'These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?' John 10:22: And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter, John 10:23: and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon, John 10:24: the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, 'Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.' John 10:25: Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me; John 10:26: but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, John 10:27: according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me, John 10:28: and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish — to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand; John 10:29: my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father; John 10:30: I and the Father are one.' John 10:31: Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him; John 10:32: Jesus answered them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?' John 10:33: The Jews answered him, saying, 'For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.' John 10:34: Jesus answered them, 'Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods? John 10:35: if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,) John 10:36: of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say — Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am? John 10:37: if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me; John 10:38: and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.' John 10:39: Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand, John 10:40: and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there, John 10:41: and many came unto him, and said — 'John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;' John 10:42: and many did believe in him there.",

chapter_John_11 | {
"content": "John 11:1: And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister — John 11:2: and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing — John 11:3: therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;' John 11:4: and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.' John 11:5: And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus, John 11:6: when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days, John 11:7: then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;' John 11:8: the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!' John 11:9: Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see; John 11:10: and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.' John 11:11: These things he said, and after this he saith to them, 'Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;' John 11:12: therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;' John 11:13: but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh. John 11:14: Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died; John 11:15: and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;' John 11:16: therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, that we may die with him,' John 11:17: Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb. John 11:18: And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off, John 11:19: and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother; John 11:20: Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house. John 11:21: Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died; John 11:22: but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;' John 11:23: Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.' John 11:24: Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;' John 11:25: Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live; John 11:26: and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age; John 11:27: believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.' John 11:28: And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;' John 11:29: she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him; John 11:30: and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him; John 11:31: the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — 'She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.' John 11:32: Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;' John 11:33: Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said, John 11:34: 'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;' John 11:35: Jesus wept. John 11:36: The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!' John 11:37: and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?' John 11:38: Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it, John 11:39: Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;' John 11:40: Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?' John 11:41: They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me; John 11:42: and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.' John 11:43: And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;' John 11:44: and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.' John 11:45: Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him; John 11:46: but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did; John 11:47: the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs? John 11:48: if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.' John 11:49: and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything, John 11:50: nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.' John 11:51: And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation, John 11:52: and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one. John 11:53: From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him; John 11:54: Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples. John 11:55: And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves; John 11:56: they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?' John 11:57: and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him.",

chapter_John_12 | {
"content": "John 12:1: Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead; John 12:2: they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him; John 12:3: Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment. John 12:4: Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up — John 12:5: 'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?' John 12:6: and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying. John 12:7: Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it, John 12:8: for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.' John 12:9: A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead; John 12:10: and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill, John 12:11: because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus. John 12:12: On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem, John 12:13: took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord — the king of Israel;' John 12:14: and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written, John 12:15: 'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.' John 12:16: And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him. John 12:17: The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead; John 12:18: because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign, John 12:19: the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.' John 12:20: And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast, John 12:21: these then came near to Philip, who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;' John 12:22: Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. John 12:23: And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified; John 12:24: verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit; John 12:25: he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it; John 12:26: if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father. John 12:27: Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to this hour; John 12:28: Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;' John 12:29: the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.' John 12:30: Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you; John 12:31: now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth; John 12:32: and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.' John 12:33: And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die; John 12:34: the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the Son of Man?' John 12:35: Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth; John 12:36: while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them, John 12:37: yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him, John 12:38: that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?' John 12:39: Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said, John 12:40: 'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;' John 12:41: these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. John 12:42: Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue, John 12:43: for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. John 12:44: And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me; John 12:45: and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me; John 12:46: I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain; John 12:47: and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. John 12:48: 'He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day, John 12:49: because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak, John 12:50: and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'",

"content": "John 13:1: And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world — to the end he loved them. John 13:2: And supper being come, the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up, John 13:3: Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him — into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth, John 13:4: doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself; John 13:5: afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded. John 13:6: He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, 'Sir, thou — dost thou wash my feet?' John 13:7: Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;' John 13:8: Peter saith to him, 'Thou mayest not wash my feet — to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;' John 13:9: Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.' John 13:10: Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;' John 13:11: for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.' John 13:12: When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, 'Do ye know what I have done to you? John 13:13: ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am; John 13:14: if then I did wash your feet — the Lord and the Teacher — ye also ought to wash one another's feet. John 13:15: 'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do; John 13:16: verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him; John 13:17: if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them; John 13:18: not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel. John 13:19: From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am he; John 13:20: verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.' John 13:21: These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;' John 13:22: the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh. John 13:23: And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving; John 13:24: Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh, John 13:25: and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?' John 13:26: Jesus answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot. John 13:27: And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, 'What thou dost — do quickly;' John 13:28: and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him, John 13:29: for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor; John 13:30: having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night. John 13:31: When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him; John 13:32: if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him. John 13:33: Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews — Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now. John 13:34: 'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another; John 13:35: in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.' John 13:36: Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.' John 13:37: Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;' John 13:38: Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'",

John 14:5: Thomas saith to him, 'Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?' John 14:6: Jesus saith to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me; John 14:7: if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.' John 14:8: Philip saith to him, 'Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;' John 14:9: Jesus saith to him, 'So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father? John 14:10: Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works; John 14:11: believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me. John 14:12: Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do — that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father; John 14:13: and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; John 14:14: if ye ask anything in my name I will do it.

John 14:22: Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), 'Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?' John 14:23: Jesus answered and said to him, 'If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make; John 14:24: he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. John 14:25: 'These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you, John 14:26: and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

John 14:29: And now I have said it to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe; John 14:30: I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing; John 14:31: but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.",

John 15:5: 'I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything; John 15:6: if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned; John 15:7: if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

John 15:12: 'This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you; John 15:13: greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends; John 15:14: ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you; John 15:15: no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you. John 15:16: 'Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

John 16:20: verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

John 16:31: Jesus answered them, 'Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour, John 16:32: and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me; John 16:33: these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage — I have overcome the world.'",

John 17:5: 'And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee; John 17:6: I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept; John 17:7: now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee, John 17:8: because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

John 18:3: Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons; John 18:4: Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, 'Whom do ye seek?' John 18:5: they answered him, 'Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, 'I am he;' — and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; — John 18:6: when, therefore, he said to them — 'I am he,' they went away backward, and fell to the ground. John 18:7: Again, therefore, he questioned them, 'Whom do ye seek?' and they said, 'Jesus the Nazarene;' John 18:8: Jesus answered, 'I said to you that I am he; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;' John 18:9: that the word might be fulfilled that he said — 'Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.' John 18:10: Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear — and the name of the servant was Malchus — John 18:11: Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, 'Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?' John 18:12: The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him, John 18:13: and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year, John 18:14: and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people. John 18:15: And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest, John 18:16: and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter. John 18:17: Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, 'Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, 'I am not;' John 18:18: and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. John 18:19: The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching; John 18:20: Jesus answered him, 'I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing; John 18:21: why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.' John 18:22: And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, 'Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?' John 18:23: Jesus answered him, 'If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?' John 18:24: Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest. John 18:25: And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, 'Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, 'I am not.' John 18:26: One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, 'Did not I see thee in the garden with him?' John 18:27: again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew. John 18:28: They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover; John 18:29: Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, 'What accusation do ye bring against this man?' John 18:30: they answered and said to him, 'If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.' John 18:31: Pilate, therefore, said to them, 'Take ye him — ye — and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, 'It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;' John 18:32: that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die. John 18:33: Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, 'Thou art the King of the Jews?' John 18:34: Jesus answered him, 'From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?' John 18:35: Pilate answered, 'Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?' John 18:36: Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.' John 18:37: Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, 'Thou dost say it; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.' John 18:38: Pilate saith to him, 'What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, 'I do find no fault in him; John 18:39: and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?' John 18:40: therefore they all cried out again, saying, 'Not this one — but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.",

"content": "John 19:1: Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge him, John 19:2: and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place it on his head, and a purple garment they put around him, John 19:3: and said, 'Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps. John 19:4: Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;' John 19:5: Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, 'Lo, the man!' John 19:6: When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, 'Take ye him — ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;' John 19:7: the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.' John 19:8: When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid, John 19:9: and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, 'Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer. John 19:10: Pilate, therefore, saith to him, 'To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?' John 19:11: Jesus answered, 'Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.' John 19:12: From this time was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.' John 19:13: Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without — and he sat down upon the tribunal — to a place called, 'Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha; John 19:14: and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, 'Lo, your king!' John 19:15: and they cried out, 'Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, 'Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, 'We have no king except Caesar.' John 19:16: Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led him away, John 19:17: and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha; John 19:18: where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst. John 19:19: And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;' John 19:20: this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman. John 19:21: The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not — The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;' John 19:22: Pilate answered, 'What I have written, I have written.' John 19:23: The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout, John 19:24: they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things. John 19:25: And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene; John 19:26: Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;' John 19:27: afterward he saith to the disciple, 'Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. John 19:28: After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, 'I thirst;' John 19:29: a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop stalk, did put it to his mouth; John 19:30: when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit. John 19:31: The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away. John 19:32: The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him, John 19:33: and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs; John 19:34: but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water; John 19:35: and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe. John 19:36: For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;' John 19:37: and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.' John 19:38: And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea — being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews — ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus, John 19:39: and Nicodemus also came — who came unto Jesus by night at the first — bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds. John 19:40: They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial; John 19:41: and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid; John 19:42: there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.",

"content": "John 20:1: And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb, John 20:2: she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, 'They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.' John 20:3: Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb, John 20:4: and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb, John 20:5: and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not. John 20:6: Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying, John 20:7: and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place; John 20:8: then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe; John 20:9: for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again. John 20:10: The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends, John 20:11: and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting, John 20:12: one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. John 20:13: And they say to her, 'Woman, why dost thou weep?' she saith to them, 'Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;' John 20:14: and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus. John 20:15: Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, 'Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;' John 20:16: Jesus saith to her, 'Mary!' having turned, she saith to him, 'Rabbouni;' that is to say, 'Teacher.' John 20:17: Jesus saith to her, 'Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.' John 20:18: Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and that these things he said to her. John 20:19: It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, 'Peace to you;' John 20:20: and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord. John 20:21: Jesus, therefore, said to them again, 'Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;' John 20:22: and this having said, he breathed on them, and saith to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit; John 20:23: if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.' John 20:24: And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came; John 20:25: the other disciples, therefore, said to him, 'We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, 'If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.' John 20:26: And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, 'Peace to you!' John 20:27: then he saith to Thomas, 'Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put it to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.' John 20:28: And Thomas answered and said to him, 'My Lord and my God;' John 20:29: Jesus saith to him, 'Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.' John 20:30: Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book; John 20:31: and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'",

chapter_John_21 | {
"content": "John 21:1: After these things did Jesus manifest himself again to the disciples on the sea of Tiberias, and he did manifest himself thus: John 21:2: There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. John 21:3: Simon Peter saith to them, 'I go away to fish;' they say to him, 'We go — we also — with thee;' they went forth and entered into the boat immediately, and on that night they caught nothing. John 21:4: And morning being now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus; John 21:5: Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'Lads, have ye any meat?' John 21:6: they answered him, 'No;' and he said to them, 'Cast the net at the right side of the boat, and ye shall find;' they cast, therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the multitude of the fishes. John 21:7: That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, 'The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea; John 21:8: and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but as it were about two hundred cubits off, dragging the net of the fishes; John 21:9: when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread. John 21:10: Jesus saith to them, 'Bring ye from the fishes that ye caught now;' John 21:11: Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three, and though they were so many, the net was not rent. John 21:12: Jesus saith to them, 'Come ye, dine;' and none of the disciples was venturing to inquire of him, 'Who art thou?' knowing that it is the Lord; John 21:13: Jesus, therefore, doth come and take the bread and give to them, and the fish in like manner; John 21:14: this is now a third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples, having been raised from the dead. John 21:15: When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, 'Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, 'Feed my lambs.' John 21:16: He saith to him again, a second time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, 'Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, 'Tend my sheep.' John 21:17: He saith to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, 'Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, 'Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, 'Feed my sheep; John 21:18: verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou wast girding thyself and wast walking whither thou didst will, but when thou mayest be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and shall carry thee whither thou dost not will;' John 21:19: and this he said, signifying by what death he shall glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, 'Be following me.' John 21:20: And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, 'Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?') John 21:21: Peter having seen this one, saith to Jesus, 'Lord, and what of this one?' John 21:22: Jesus saith to him, 'If him I will to remain till I come, what — to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die, John 21:23: yet Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but, 'If him I will to remain till I come, what — to thee?' John 21:24: this is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true. John 21:25: And there are also many other things — as many as Jesus did — which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.",

"content": "Acts 1:1: The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach, Acts 1:2: till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up, Acts 1:3: to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God. Acts 1:4: And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, 'Ye did hear of me; Acts 1:5: because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit — after not many days.' Acts 1:6: They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, 'Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?' Acts 1:7: and he said unto them, 'It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority; Acts 1:8: but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.' Acts 1:9: And these things having said — they beholding — he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight; Acts 1:10: and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel, Acts 1:11: who also said, 'Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.' Acts 1:12: Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey; Acts 1:13: and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James; Acts 1:14: these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Acts 1:15: And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty,) Acts 1:16: 'Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus, Acts 1:17: because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration, Acts 1:18: this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth, Acts 1:19: and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, field of blood, Acts 1:20: for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take. Acts 1:21: 'It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, Acts 1:22: beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.' Acts 1:23: And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias, Acts 1:24: and having prayed, they said, 'Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two Acts 1:25: to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;' Acts 1:26: and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.",

Acts 2:5: And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven, Acts 2:6: and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect, Acts 2:7: and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, 'Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? Acts 2:8: and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born? Acts 2:9: Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, Acts 2:10: Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that are along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Acts 2:11: Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.' Acts 2:12: And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one unto another, 'What would this wish to be?' Acts 2:13: and others mocking said, — 'They are full of sweet wine;' Acts 2:14: and Peter having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and declared to them, 'Men, Jews! and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and harken to my sayings, Acts 2:15: for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is the third hour of the day. Acts 2:16: 'But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel: Acts 2:17: And it shall be 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; Acts 2:18: and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy; Acts 2:19: and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath — blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke, Acts 2:20: the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord — the great and illustrious; Acts 2:21: and it shall be, every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved. Acts 2:22: 'Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known; Acts 2:23: this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified — ye did slay; Acts 2:24: whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it, Acts 2:25: for David saith in regard to him: I foresaw the Lord always before me — because He is on my right hand — that I may not be moved; Acts 2:26: because of this was my heart cheered, and my tongue was glad, and yet — my flesh also shall rest on hope, Acts 2:27: because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption; Acts 2:28: Thou didst make known to me ways of life, Thou shalt fill me with joy with Thy countenance. Acts 2:29: 'Men, brethren! it is permitted to speak with freedom unto you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day; Acts 2:30: a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne, Acts 2:31: having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. Acts 2:32: 'This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses; Acts 2:33: at the right hand then of God having been exalted — also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father — he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear; Acts 2:34: for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Acts 2:35: till I make thy foes thy footstool; Acts 2:36: assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him — this Jesus whom ye did crucify.' Acts 2:37: And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, 'What shall we do, men, brethren?' Acts 2:38: and Peter said unto them, 'Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:39: for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.' Acts 2:40: Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, 'Be saved from this perverse generation;' Acts 2:41: then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls, Acts 2:42: and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers. Acts 2:43: And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles, Acts 2:44: and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common, Acts 2:45: and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need. Acts 2:46: Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart, Acts 2:47: praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.",

Acts 3:4: And Peter, having looked stedfastly toward him with John, said, 'Look toward us;' Acts 3:5: and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them; Acts 3:6: and Peter said, 'Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.' Acts 3:7: And having seized him by the right hand, he raised him up, and presently his feet and ankles were strengthened, Acts 3:8: and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God; Acts 3:9: and all the people saw him walking and praising God, Acts 3:10: they were knowing him also that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath happened to him. Acts 3:11: And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch called Solomon's — greatly amazed, Acts 3:12: and Peter having seen, answered unto the people, 'Men, Israelites! why wonder ye at this? or on us why look ye so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk? Acts 3:13: The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him, Acts 3:14: and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man — a murderer — to be granted to you, Acts 3:15: and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses; Acts 3:16: and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all. Acts 3:17: And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance ye did it, as also your rulers; Acts 3:18: and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil; Acts 3:19: reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, Acts 3:20: and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached to you, Acts 3:21: whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age. Acts 3:22: For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said — A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you; Acts 3:23: and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people; Acts 3:24: and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days. Acts 3:25: 'Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall be blessed all the families of the earth; Acts 3:26: to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, did send him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.'",

chapter_Acts_4 | {
"content": "Acts 4:1: And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees — Acts 4:2: being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead — Acts 4:3: and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already; Acts 4:4: and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand. Acts 4:5: And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem, Acts 4:6: and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest, Acts 4:7: and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, 'In what power, or in what name did ye do this?' Acts 4:8: Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, Acts 4:9: if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved, Acts 4:10: be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole. Acts 4:11: This is the stone that was set at nought by you — the builders, that became head of a corner; Acts 4:12: and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.' Acts 4:13: And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been — Acts 4:14: and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against it, Acts 4:15: and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another, Acts 4:16: saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem is manifest, and we are not able to deny it; Acts 4:17: but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.' Acts 4:18: And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus, Acts 4:19: and Peter and John answering unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye; Acts 4:20: for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.' Acts 4:21: And they having further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done, Acts 4:22: for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing. Acts 4:23: And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto them, Acts 4:24: and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou art God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that are in them, Acts 4:25: who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things? Acts 4:26: the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ; Acts 4:27: for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel, Acts 4:28: to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass. Acts 4:29: 'And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word, Acts 4:30: in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.' Acts 4:31: And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom, Acts 4:32: and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common. Acts 4:33: And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all, Acts 4:34: for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold, Acts 4:35: and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need. Acts 4:36: And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas — which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort — a Levite, of Cyprus by birth, Acts 4:37: a field being his, having sold it, brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.",

"content": "Acts 5:1: And a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, Acts 5:2: and did keep back of the price — his wife also knowing — and having brought a certain part, at the feet of the apostles he laid it. Acts 5:3: And Peter said, 'Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place? Acts 5:4: while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been sold, in thy authority was it not? why is it that thou didst put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to God;' Acts 5:5: and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things, Acts 5:6: and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried him. Acts 5:7: And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what hath happened, came in, Acts 5:8: and Peter answered her, 'Tell me if for so much ye sold the place;' and she said, 'Yes, for so much.' Acts 5:9: And Peter said unto her, 'How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;' Acts 5:10: and she fell down presently at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried her by her husband; Acts 5:11: and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things. Acts 5:12: And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were with one accord all in the porch of Solomon; Acts 5:13: and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them, Acts 5:14: (and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,) Acts 5:15: so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and to lay them upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even his shadow might overshadow some one of them; Acts 5:16: and there were coming together also the people of the cities round about to Jerusalem, bearing ailing persons, and those harassed by unclean spirits — who were all healed. Acts 5:17: And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him — being the sect of the Sadducees — were filled with zeal, Acts 5:18: and laid their hands upon the apostles, and did put them in a public prison; Acts 5:19: and a messenger of the Lord through the night opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said, Acts 5:20: 'Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life;' Acts 5:21: and having heard, they did enter at the dawn into the temple, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought, Acts 5:22: and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told, Acts 5:23: saying — 'The prison indeed we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having opened — within we found no one.' Acts 5:24: And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come; Acts 5:25: and coming near, a certain one told them, saying — 'Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;' Acts 5:26: then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned; Acts 5:27: and having brought them, they set them in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them, Acts 5:28: saying, 'Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.' Acts 5:29: And Peter and the apostles answering, said, 'To obey God it behoveth, rather than men; Acts 5:30: and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree; Acts 5:31: this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins; Acts 5:32: and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.' Acts 5:33: And they having heard, were cut to the heart, and were taking counsel to slay them, Acts 5:34: but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim — a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people — commanded to put the apostles forth a little, Acts 5:35: and said unto them, 'Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what ye are about to do, Acts 5:36: for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought. Acts 5:37: 'After this one rose up, Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew away much people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered; Acts 5:38: and now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown, Acts 5:39: and if it be of God, ye are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps also ye be found fighting against God.' Acts 5:40: And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go; Acts 5:41: they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour, Acts 5:42: every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news — Jesus the Christ.",

Acts 6:5: And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch, Acts 6:6: whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid on them their hands. Acts 6:7: And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith. Acts 6:8: And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people, Acts 6:9: and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, called of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia, and Asia, disputing with Stephen, Acts 6:10: and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking; Acts 6:11: then they suborned men, saying — 'We have heard him speaking evil sayings in regard to Moses and God.' Acts 6:12: They did stir up also the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having come upon him, they caught him, and brought him to the sanhedrim; Acts 6:13: they set up also false witnesses, saying, 'This one doth not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the law, Acts 6:14: for we have heard him saying, That this Jesus the Nazarean shall overthrow this place, and shall change the customs that Moses delivered to us;' Acts 6:15: and gazing at him, all those sitting in the sanhedrim saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.",

Acts 7:2: and he said, 'Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran, Acts 7:3: and He said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and out of thy kindred, and come to a land that I shall shew thee. Acts 7:4: 'Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell, Acts 7:5: and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and did promise to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him — he having no child. Acts 7:6: 'And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do it evil four hundred years, Acts 7:7: and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place. Acts 7:8: And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob — the twelve patriarchs; Acts 7:9: and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him, Acts 7:10: and did deliver him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he did set him — governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:11: 'And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance, Acts 7:12: and Jacob having heard that there was corn in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time; Acts 7:13: and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brethren, and Joseph's kindred became manifest to Pharaoh, Acts 7:14: and Joseph having sent, did call for his father Jacob, and all his kindred — with seventy and five souls — Acts 7:15: and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers, Acts 7:16: and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Sychem. Acts 7:17: 'And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh, which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, Acts 7:18: till another king rose, who had not known Joseph; Acts 7:19: this one, having dealt subtilely with our kindred, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babes, that they might not live; Acts 7:20: in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up three months in the house of his father; Acts 7:21: and he having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and did rear him to herself for a son; Acts 7:22: and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.

'And Moses having become terrified, durst not behold, Acts 7:33: and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground; Acts 7:34: seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that is in Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt. Acts 7:35: 'This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the bush; Acts 7:36: this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years; Acts 7:37: this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear.

Acts 7:41: 'And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands, Acts 7:42: and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? Acts 7:43: and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan — the figures that ye made to bow before them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon. Acts 7:44: 'The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen; Acts 7:45: which also our fathers having in succession received, did bring in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God did drive out from the presence of our fathers, till the days of David, Acts 7:46: who found favour before God, and requested to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob; Acts 7:47: and Solomon built Him an house. Acts 7:48: 'But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith: Acts 7:49: The heaven is My throne, and the earth My footstool; what house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what is the place of My rest? Acts 7:50: hath not My hand made all these things?

Acts 7:54: And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and did gnash the teeth at him; Acts 7:55: and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, Acts 7:56: and he said, 'Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.' Acts 7:57: And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and did rush with one accord upon him, Acts 7:58: and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning him — and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul — Acts 7:59: and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;' Acts 7:60: and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, 'Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;' and this having said, he fell asleep.",

Acts 8:5: And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ, Acts 8:6: the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing, Acts 8:7: for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed, Acts 8:8: and there was great joy in that city. Acts 8:9: And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one, Acts 8:10: to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, 'This one is the great power of God;' Acts 8:11: and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic. Acts 8:12: And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women; Acts 8:13: and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed. Acts 8:14: And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John, Acts 8:15: who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, — Acts 8:16: for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus; Acts 8:17: then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:18: And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money, Acts 8:19: saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.' Acts 8:20: And Peter said unto him, 'Thy silver with thee — may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money; Acts 8:21: thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God; Acts 8:22: reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee, Acts 8:23: for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.' Acts 8:24: And Simon answering, said, 'Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.' Acts 8:25: They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news. Acts 8:26: And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, 'Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' — this is desert. Acts 8:27: And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem; Acts 8:28: he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. Acts 8:29: And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;' Acts 8:30: and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Dost thou then know what thou dost read?' Acts 8:31: and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him. Acts 8:32: And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: 'As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth; Acts 8:33: in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation — who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.' Acts 8:34: And the eunuch answering Philip said, 'I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?' Acts 8:35: and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him — Jesus. Acts 8:36: And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'

Acts 9:10: And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, 'Ananias;' and he said, 'Behold me, Lord;' Acts 9:11: and the Lord saith unto him, 'Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, one by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray, Acts 9:12: and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.' Acts 9:13: And Ananias answered, 'Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem, Acts 9:14: and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.' Acts 9:15: And the Lord said unto him, 'Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings — the sons also of Israel; Acts 9:16: for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.' Acts 9:17: And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him his hands, said, 'Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me — Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming — that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.' Acts 9:18: And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized, Acts 9:19: and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days, Acts 9:20: and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God. Acts 9:21: And all those hearing were amazed, and said, 'Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?' Acts 9:22: And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ. Acts 9:23: And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him, Acts 9:24: and their counsel against him was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him, Acts 9:25: and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket. Acts 9:26: And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple, Acts 9:27: and Barnabas having taken him, brought him unto the apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the name of Jesus. Acts 9:28: And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem, Acts 9:29: and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him, Acts 9:30: and the brethren having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. Acts 9:31: Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied. Acts 9:32: And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all quarters, came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda, Acts 9:33: and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name — for eight years laid upon a couch — who was paralytic, Acts 9:34: and Peter said to him, 'Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;' and immediately he rose, Acts 9:35: and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord. Acts 9:36: And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing; Acts 9:37: and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber, Acts 9:38: and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that place, sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them. Acts 9:39: And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them. Acts 9:40: And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, 'Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up, Acts 9:41: and having given her his hand, he lifted her up, and having called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive, Acts 9:42: and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord; Acts 9:43: and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.",

"content": "Acts 10:1: And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian, Acts 10:2: pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always, Acts 10:3: he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, 'Cornelius;' Acts 10:4: and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, 'What is it, Lord?' And he said to him, 'Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God, Acts 10:5: and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter, Acts 10:6: this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.' Acts 10:7: And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually, Acts 10:8: and having declared to them all things, he sent them to Joppa. Acts 10:9: And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour, Acts 10:10: and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance, Acts 10:11: and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth, Acts 10:12: in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven, Acts 10:13: and there came a voice unto him: 'Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.' Acts 10:14: And Peter said, 'Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;' Acts 10:15: and there is a voice again a second time unto him: 'What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;' Acts 10:16: and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven. Acts 10:17: And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate, Acts 10:18: and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here? Acts 10:19: And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Lo, three men do seek thee; Acts 10:20: but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;' Acts 10:21: and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, 'Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what is the cause for which ye are present?' Acts 10:22: And they said, 'Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.' Acts 10:23: Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him, Acts 10:24: and on the morrow they did enter into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends, Acts 10:25: and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at his feet, did bow before him; Acts 10:26: and Peter raised him, saying, 'Stand up; I also myself am a man;' Acts 10:27: and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together. Acts 10:28: And he said unto them, 'Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean; Acts 10:29: therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?' Acts 10:30: And Cornelius said, 'Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and at the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing, Acts 10:31: and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God; Acts 10:32: send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee; Acts 10:33: at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.' Acts 10:34: And Peter having opened his mouth, said, 'Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, Acts 10:35: but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him; Acts 10:36: the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news — peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,) Acts 10:37: ye — ye have known; — the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached; Acts 10:38: Jesus who is from Nazareth — how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him; Acts 10:39: and we — we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, — whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree. Acts 10:40: 'This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest, Acts 10:41: not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God — to us who did eat with him, and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead; Acts 10:42: and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead — Acts 10:43: to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.' Acts 10:44: While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word, Acts 10:45: and those of the circumcision believing were astonished — as many as came with Peter — because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out, Acts 10:46: for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Acts 10:47: Then answered Peter, 'The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive — even as also we?' Acts 10:48: he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.",

Acts 11:4: And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying, Acts 11:5: 'I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me; Acts 11:6: at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven; Acts 11:7: and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat; Acts 11:8: and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth; Acts 11:9: and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou — declare not thou common.

Acts 11:15: 'And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning, Acts 11:16: and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit; Acts 11:17: if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I — how was I able to withstand God?' Acts 11:18: And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.' Acts 11:19: Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only; Acts 11:20: and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news — the Lord Jesus, Acts 11:21: and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord. Acts 11:22: And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that is in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch, Acts 11:23: who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord, Acts 11:24: because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.

Acts 12:5: Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him, Acts 12:6: and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison, Acts 12:7: and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, 'Rise in haste,' and his chains fell from off his hands. Acts 12:8: The messenger also said to him, 'Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;' and he did so; and he saith to him, 'Put thy garment round and be following me;' Acts 12:9: and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision, Acts 12:10: and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him. Acts 12:11: And Peter having come to himself, said, 'Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;' Acts 12:12: also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying. Acts 12:13: And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda, Acts 12:14: and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch, Acts 12:15: and they said unto her, 'Thou art mad;' and she was confidently affirming it to be so, and they said, 'It is his messenger;' Acts 12:16: and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished, Acts 12:17: and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, 'Declare to James and to the brethren these things;' and having gone forth, he went on to another place. Acts 12:18: And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter, Acts 12:19: and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command them to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding there. Acts 12:20: And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who is over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king's; Acts 12:21: and on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making an oration unto them, Acts 12:22: and the populace were shouting, 'The voice of a god, and not of a man;' Acts 12:23: and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.

Acts 13:4: These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to Cyprus, Acts 13:5: and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John as a ministrant; Acts 13:6: and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name is Bar-Jesus; Acts 13:7: who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God, Acts 13:8: and there withstood them Elymas the magian — for so is his name interpreted — seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith. Acts 13:9: And Saul — who also is Paul — having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him, Acts 13:10: said, 'O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord? Acts 13:11: and now, lo, a hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he, going about, was seeking some to lead him by the hand; Acts 13:12: then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord. Acts 13:13: And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did turn back to Jerusalem, Acts 13:14: and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down, Acts 13:15: and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, 'Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people — say on.' Acts 13:16: And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, 'Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, hearken: Acts 13:17: the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers, and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it; Acts 13:18: and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness, Acts 13:19: and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He did divide by lot to them their land. Acts 13:20: And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges — till Samuel the prophet; Acts 13:21: and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years; Acts 13:22: and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will. Acts 13:23: Of this one's seed God, according to promise, did raise to Israel a Saviour — Jesus, Acts 13:24: John having first preached, before his coming, a baptism of reformation to all the people of Israel; Acts 13:25: and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom me do ye suppose to be? I am not he, but, lo, he doth come after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of his feet. Acts 13:26: 'Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent, Acts 13:27: for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read — having judged him — did fulfil, Acts 13:28: and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain, Acts 13:29: and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb; Acts 13:30: and God did raise him out of the dead, Acts 13:31: and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. Acts 13:32: And we to you do proclaim good news — that the promise made unto the fathers, Acts 13:33: God hath in full completed this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it hath been written, My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee. Acts 13:34: And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus — I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David; Acts 13:35: wherefore also in another place he saith, Thou shalt not give Thy kind One to see corruption, Acts 13:36: for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption, Acts 13:37: but he whom God did raise up, did not see corruption. Acts 13:38: 'Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared, Acts 13:39: and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous; Acts 13:40: see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets: Acts 13:41: See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I — I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare it to you.' Acts 13:42: And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling upon them that on the next sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them, Acts 13:43: and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God. Acts 13:44: And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God, Acts 13:45: and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul — contradicting and speaking evil. Acts 13:46: And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, 'To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations; Acts 13:47: for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations — for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.' Acts 13:48: And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe — as many as were appointed to life age-during; Acts 13:49: and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through all the region. Acts 13:50: And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their borders; Acts 13:51: and they having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium, Acts 13:52: and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.",

Acts 14:4: And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles, Acts 14:5: and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to use them despitefully, and to stone them, Acts 14:6: they having become aware, did flee to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about, Acts 14:7: and there they were proclaiming good news. Acts 14:8: And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother — who never had walked, Acts 14:9: this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved, Acts 14:10: said with a loud voice, 'Stand up on thy feet upright;' and he was springing and walking, Acts 14:11: and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, 'The gods, having become like men, did come down unto us;' Acts 14:12: they were calling also Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking. Acts 14:13: And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, oxen and garlands unto the porches having brought, with the multitudes did wish to sacrifice, Acts 14:14: and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent their garments, did spring into the multitude, crying Acts 14:15: and saying, 'Men, why these things do ye? and we are men like-affected with you, proclaiming good news to you, from these vanities to turn unto the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them; Acts 14:16: who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways, Acts 14:17: though, indeed, without witness He did not leave himself, doing good — from heaven giving rains to us, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness;' Acts 14:18: and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them. Acts 14:19: And there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be dead; Acts 14:20: and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he entered into the city, and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe. Acts 14:21: Having proclaimed good news also to that city, and having discipled many, they turned back to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch, Acts 14:22: confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God, Acts 14:23: and having appointed to them by vote elders in every assembly, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. Acts 14:24: And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia, Acts 14:25: and having spoken in Perga the word, they went down to Attalia, Acts 14:26: and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled; Acts 14:27: and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith; Acts 14:28: and they abode there not a little time with the disciples.",

"content": "Acts 15:1: And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren — 'If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;' Acts 15:2: there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question, Acts 15:3: they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren. Acts 15:4: And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them; Acts 15:5: and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying — 'It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.' Acts 15:6: And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter, Acts 15:7: and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, 'Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe; Acts 15:8: and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us, Acts 15:9: and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts; Acts 15:10: now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Acts 15:11: but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.' Acts 15:12: And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them; Acts 15:13: and after they are silent, James answered, saying, 'Men, brethren, hearken to me; Acts 15:14: Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name, Acts 15:15: and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written: Acts 15:16: After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright — Acts 15:17: that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things. Acts 15:18: 'Known from the ages to God are all His works; Acts 15:19: wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God, Acts 15:20: but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood; Acts 15:21: for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him — in the synagogues every sabbath being read.' Acts 15:22: Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas — Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren — Acts 15:23: having written through their hand thus: 'The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who are of the nations, greeting; Acts 15:24: seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge, Acts 15:25: it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul — Acts 15:26: men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ — Acts 15:27: we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things. Acts 15:28: 'For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things: Acts 15:29: to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!' Acts 15:30: They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle, Acts 15:31: and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation; Acts 15:32: Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm, Acts 15:33: and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brethren unto the apostles; Acts 15:34: and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still. Acts 15:35: And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news — with many others also — the word of the Lord; Acts 15:36: and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, 'Having turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord — how they are.' Acts 15:37: And Barnabas counselled to take with them John called Mark, Acts 15:38: and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work; Acts 15:39: there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus, Acts 15:40: and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brethren; Acts 15:41: and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.",

"content": "Acts 16:1: And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and lo, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek, Acts 16:2: who was well testified to by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium; Acts 16:3: this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father — that he was a Greek. Acts 16:4: And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who are in Jerusalem, Acts 16:5: then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day; Acts 16:6: and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, Acts 16:7: having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them, Acts 16:8: and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas. Acts 16:9: And a vision through the night appeared to Paul — a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling upon him, and saying, 'Having passed through to Macedonia, help us;' — Acts 16:10: and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath called us to preach good news to them, Acts 16:11: having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis, Acts 16:12: thence also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia — a colony. And we were in this city abiding certain days, Acts 16:13: on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together, Acts 16:14: and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul; Acts 16:15: and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, 'If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she constrained us. Acts 16:16: And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying, Acts 16:17: she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, 'These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;' Acts 16:18: and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, 'I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;' and it came forth the same hour. Acts 16:19: And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew them to the market-place, unto the rulers, Acts 16:20: and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, 'These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews; Acts 16:21: and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.' Acts 16:22: And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat them with rods, Acts 16:23: many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely, Acts 16:24: who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks. Acts 16:25: And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them, Acts 16:26: and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all — the bands were loosed; Acts 16:27: and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled, Acts 16:28: and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.' Acts 16:29: And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas, Acts 16:30: and having brought them forth, said, 'Sirs, what must I do — that I may be saved?' Acts 16:31: and they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved — thou and thy house;' Acts 16:32: and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household; Acts 16:33: and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe them from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently, Acts 16:34: having brought them also into his house, he set food before them, and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God. Acts 16:35: And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, 'Let those men go;' Acts 16:36: and the jailor told these words unto Paul — 'The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;' Acts 16:37: and Paul said to them, 'Having beaten us publicly uncondemned — men, Romans being — they did cast us to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.' Acts 16:38: And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans, Acts 16:39: and having come, they besought them, and having brought them forth, they were asking them to go forth from the city; Acts 16:40: and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into the house of Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.",

Acts 17:4: And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few. Acts 17:5: And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring them to the populace, Acts 17:6: and not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the city rulers, calling aloud — 'These, having put the world in commotion, are also here present, Acts 17:7: whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king — Jesus.' Acts 17:8: And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things, Acts 17:9: and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. Acts 17:10: And the brethren immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went to the synagogue of the Jews; Acts 17:11: and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so; Acts 17:12: many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few. Acts 17:13: And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came thither also, agitating the multitudes; Acts 17:14: and then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timothy were remaining there. Acts 17:15: And those conducting Paul, brought him unto Athens, and having received a command unto Silas and Timotheus that with all speed they may come unto him, they departed; Acts 17:16: and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry, Acts 17:17: therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshipping persons, and in the market-place every day with those who met with him. Acts 17:18: And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, 'What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others, 'Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news, Acts 17:19: having also taken him, unto the Areopagus they brought him, saying, 'Are we able to know what is this new teaching that is spoken by thee, Acts 17:20: for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;' Acts 17:21: and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing. Acts 17:22: And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, 'Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious; Acts 17:23: for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I found also an erection on which had been inscribed: To God — unknown; whom, therefore — not knowing — ye do worship, this One I announce to you. Acts 17:24: 'God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell, Acts 17:25: neither by the hands of men is He served — needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things; Acts 17:26: He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth — having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings — Acts 17:27: to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, — though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us, Acts 17:28: for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring. Acts 17:29: 'Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man; Acts 17:30: the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform, Acts 17:31: because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.' Acts 17:32: And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, 'We will hear thee again concerning this;' Acts 17:33: and so Paul went forth from the midst of them, Acts 17:34: and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom is also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.",

Acts 18:5: And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ; Acts 18:6: and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken his garments, he said unto them, 'Your blood is upon your head — I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.' Acts 18:7: And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue, Acts 18:8: and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized. Acts 18:9: And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, 'Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent; Acts 18:10: because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;' Acts 18:11: and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God. Acts 18:12: And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal, Acts 18:13: saying — 'Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;' Acts 18:14: and Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, 'If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you, Acts 18:15: but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves to it, for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,' Acts 18:16: and he drave them from the tribunal; Acts 18:17: and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating him before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring. Acts 18:18: And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria — and with him are Priscilla and Aquilas — having shorn his head in Cenchera, for he had a vow; Acts 18:19: and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews: Acts 18:20: and they having requested him to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent, Acts 18:21: but took leave of them, saying, 'It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you — God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus, Acts 18:22: and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch. Acts 18:23: And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Acts 18:24: And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus, Acts 18:25: this one was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John; Acts 18:26: this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to them, and did more exactly expound to him the way of God, Acts 18:27: and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace, Acts 18:28: for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.",

Acts 19:4: And Paul said, 'John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe — that is, in the Christ — Jesus;' Acts 19:5: and they, having heard, were baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus, Acts 19:6: and Paul having laid on them his hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying, Acts 19:7: and all the men were, as it were, twelve. Acts 19:8: And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God, Acts 19:9: and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus. Acts 19:10: And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks, Acts 19:11: mighty works also — not common — was God working through the hands of Paul, Acts 19:12: so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them. Acts 19:13: And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon them to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, 'We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth preach;' Acts 19:14: and there were certain — seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest — who are doing this thing; Acts 19:15: and the evil spirit, answering, said, 'Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye — who are ye?' Acts 19:16: And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house, Acts 19:17: and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified, Acts 19:18: many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing and declaring their acts, Acts 19:19: and many of those who had practised the curious arts, having brought the books together, were burning them before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found it five myriads of silverlings; Acts 19:20: so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing. Acts 19:21: And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying — 'After my being there, it behoveth me also to see Rome;' Acts 19:22: and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him — Timotheus and Erastus — he himself stayed a time in Asia. Acts 19:23: And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way, Acts 19:24: for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the artificers gain not a little, Acts 19:25: whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who did work about such things, he said, 'Men, ye know that by this work we have our wealth; Acts 19:26: and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands; Acts 19:27: and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth worship.' Acts 19:28: And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, 'Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!' Acts 19:29: and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's fellow-travellers. Acts 19:30: And on Paul's purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him, Acts 19:31: and certain also of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent unto him, were entreating him not to venture himself into the theatre. Acts 19:32: Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they were come together; Acts 19:33: and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander — the Jews thrusting him forward — and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace, Acts 19:34: and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, 'Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!' Acts 19:35: And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, saith, 'Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus? Acts 19:36: these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. Acts 19:37: 'For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess; Acts 19:38: if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the artificers with him with any one have a matter, court days are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another. Acts 19:39: 'And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters, in the legal assembly it shall be determined; Acts 19:40: for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse;' Acts 19:41: and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly.",

Acts 20:7: And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight, Acts 20:8: and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together, Acts 20:9: and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window — being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long — he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead. Acts 20:10: And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced him, said, 'Make no tumult, for his life is in him;' Acts 20:11: and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked — till daylight, so he went forth, Acts 20:12: and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure. Acts 20:13: And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot; Acts 20:14: and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene, Acts 20:15: and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus, Acts 20:16: for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem. Acts 20:17: And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly, Acts 20:18: and when they were come unto him, he said to them, 'Ye — ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was; Acts 20:19: serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against me; Acts 20:20: how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house, Acts 20:21: testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 20:22: And now, lo, I — bound in the Spirit — go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing, Acts 20:23: save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain; Acts 20:24: but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God. Acts 20:25: And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, — ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God; Acts 20:26: wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all, Acts 20:27: for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God. Acts 20:28: 'Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood, Acts 20:29: for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock, Acts 20:30: and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Acts 20:31: 'Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one; Acts 20:32: and now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified. Acts 20:33: 'The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet; Acts 20:34: and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands; Acts 20:35: all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth us to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.' Acts 20:36: And these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray, Acts 20:37: and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him, Acts 20:38: sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said — that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.",

Acts 21:4: And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem; Acts 21:5: but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, unto the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees upon the shore, we prayed, Acts 21:6: and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends. Acts 21:7: And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them; Acts 21:8: and on the morrow Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist — who is of the seven — we remained with him, Acts 21:9: and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying. Acts 21:10: And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus, Acts 21:11: and he having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, 'Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle — so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver him up to the hands of nations.' Acts 21:12: And when we heard these things, we called upon him — both we, and those of that place — not to go up to Jerusalem, Acts 21:13: and Paul answered, 'What do ye — weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, for the name of the Lord Jesus;' Acts 21:14: and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, 'The will of the Lord be done.' Acts 21:15: And after these days, having taken our vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem, Acts 21:16: and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple. Acts 21:17: And we having come to Jerusalem, the brethren did gladly receive us, Acts 21:18: and on the morrow Paul was going in with us unto James, all the elders also came, Acts 21:19: and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministration, Acts 21:20: and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, 'Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law, Acts 21:21: and they are instructed concerning thee, that apostasy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying — Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk; Acts 21:22: what then is it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to come together, for they will hear that thou hast come. Acts 21:23: 'This, therefore, do that we say to thee: We have four men having a vow on themselves, Acts 21:24: these having taken, be purified with them, and be at expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk — thyself also — the law keeping. Acts 21:25: 'And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.' Acts 21:26: Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day, with them having purified himself, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, till the offering was offered for each one of them. Acts 21:27: And, as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands upon him, Acts 21:28: crying out, 'Men, Israelites, help! this is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, all everywhere is teaching; and further, also, Greeks he brought into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place;' Acts 21:29: for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple. Acts 21:30: All the city also was moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut, Acts 21:31: and they seeking to kill him, a rumour came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem hath been thrown into confusion, Acts 21:32: who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, did leave off beating Paul. Acts 21:33: Then the chief captain, having come nigh, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he hath been doing, Acts 21:34: and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried to the castle, Acts 21:35: and when he came upon the steps, it happened he was borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude, Acts 21:36: for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, 'Away with him.' Acts 21:37: And Paul being about to be led into the castle, saith to the chief captain, 'Is it permitted to me to say anything unto thee?' and he said, 'Greek dost thou know? Acts 21:38: art not thou, then, the Egyptian who before these days made an uprising, and did lead into the desert the four thousand men of the assassins?' Acts 21:39: And Paul said, 'I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, of no mean city a citizen; and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.'

Acts 22:4: 'And this way I persecuted unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women, Acts 22:5: as also the chief priest doth testify to me, and all the eldership; from whom also having received letters unto the brethren, to Damascus, I was going on, to bring also those there bound to Jerusalem that they might be punished, Acts 22:6: and it came to pass, in my going on and coming nigh to Damascus, about noon, suddenly out of the heaven there shone a great light round about me, Acts 22:7: I fell also to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? Acts 22:8: And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? and he said unto me, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou dost persecute — Acts 22:9: and they who are with me the light did see, and became afraid, and the voice they heard not of him who is speaking to me — Acts 22:10: and I said, What shall I do, Lord? and the Lord said unto me, Having risen, go on to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee concerning all things that have been appointed for thee to do. Acts 22:11: 'And when I did not see from the glory of that light, being led by the hand by those who are with me, I came to Damascus, Acts 22:12: and a certain one, Ananias, a pious man according to the law, being testified to by all the Jews dwelling there, Acts 22:13: having come unto me and stood by me, said to me, Saul, brother, look up; and I the same hour did look up to him; Acts 22:14: and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth, Acts 22:15: because thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard; Acts 22:16: and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord. Acts 22:17: 'And it came to pass when I returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance, Acts 22:18: and I saw him saying to me, Haste and go forth in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me; Acts 22:19: and I said, Lord, they — they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee; Acts 22:20: and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was being poured forth, I also was standing by and assenting to his death, and keeping the garments of those putting him to death; Acts 22:21: and he said unto me, Go, because to nations far off I will send thee.' Acts 22:22: And they were hearing him unto this word, and they lifted up their voice, saying, 'Away from the earth with such an one; for it is not fit for him to live.' Acts 22:23: And they crying out and casting up their garments, and throwing dust into the air, Acts 22:24: the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, saying, 'By scourges let him be examined;' that he might know for what cause they were crying so against him. Acts 22:25: And as he was stretching him with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion who was standing by, 'A man, a Roman, uncondemned — is it lawful to you to scourge;' Acts 22:26: and the centurion having heard, having gone near to the chief captain, told, saying, 'Take heed what thou art about to do, for this man is a Roman;' Acts 22:27: and the chief captain having come near, said to him, 'Tell me, art thou a Roman?' and he said, 'Yes;' Acts 22:28: and the chief captain answered, 'I, with a great sum, did obtain this citizenship;' but Paul said, 'But I have been even born so.' Acts 22:29: Immediately, therefore, they departed from him who are about to examine him, and the chief captain also was afraid, having learned that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him, Acts 22:30: and on the morrow, intending to know the certainty wherefore he is accused by the Jews, he did loose him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their sanhedrim to come, and having brought down Paul, he set him before them.",

Acts 23:4: And those who stood by said, 'The chief priest of God dost thou revile?' Acts 23:5: and Paul said, 'I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;' Acts 23:6: and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, 'Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee — son of a Pharisee — concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.' Acts 23:7: And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided, Acts 23:8: for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both. Acts 23:9: And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part having arisen, were striving, saying, 'No evil do we find in this man; and if a spirit spake to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God;' Acts 23:10: and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiery, having gone down, to take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring him to the castle.

Acts 23:12: And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink till they may kill Paul; Acts 23:13: and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath, Acts 23:14: who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, 'With an anathema we did anathematize ourselves — to taste nothing till we have killed Paul; Acts 23:15: now, therefore, ye, signify ye to the chief captain, with the sanhedrim, that to-morrow he may bring him down unto you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming nigh, are ready to put him to death.' Acts 23:16: And the son of Paul's sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the castle, told Paul, Acts 23:17: and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, 'This young man lead unto the chief captain, for he hath something to tell him.' Acts 23:18: He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him unto the chief captain, and saith, 'The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked me this young man to bring unto thee, having something to say to thee.'

Acts 23:20: and he said — 'The Jews agreed to request thee, that to-morrow to the sanhedrim thou mayest bring down Paul, as being about to enquire something more exactly concerning him; Acts 23:21: thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves — not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.' Acts 23:22: The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged him to tell no one, 'that these things thou didst shew unto me;' Acts 23:23: and having called near a certain two of the centurions, he said, 'Make ready soldiers two hundred, that they may go on unto Caesarea, and horsemen seventy, and spearmen two hundred, from the third hour of the night; Acts 23:24: beasts also provide, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe unto Felix the governor;' Acts 23:25: he having written a letter after this description: Acts 23:26: 'Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, hail: Acts 23:27: This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them — having come with the soldiery, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman; Acts 23:28: and, intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their sanhedrim, Acts 23:29: whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds; Acts 23:30: and a plot having been intimated to me against this man — about to be of the Jews — at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.'

Acts 24:14: 'And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written, Acts 24:15: having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, that there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous; Acts 24:16: and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always. Acts 24:17: 'And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings, Acts 24:18: in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult, Acts 24:19: whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me, Acts 24:20: or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim, Acts 24:21: except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them — Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.' Acts 24:22: And having heard these things, Felix delayed them — having known more exactly of the things concerning the way — saying, 'When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;' Acts 24:23: having given also a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let him also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him.

Acts 25:13: And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus, Acts 25:14: and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, 'There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner, Acts 25:15: about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him, Acts 25:16: unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against him. Acts 25:17: They, therefore, having come together — I, making no delay, on the succeeding day having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought, Acts 25:18: concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against him no accusation of the things I was thinking of, Acts 25:19: but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive; Acts 25:20: and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things — Acts 25:21: but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.' Acts 25:22: And Agrippa said unto Festus, 'I was wishing also myself to hear the man;' and he said, 'To-morrow thou shalt hear him;' Acts 25:23: on the morrow, therefore — on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered — Paul was brought forth.

"content": "Acts 26:1: And Agrippa said unto Paul, 'It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself;' then Paul having stretched forth the hand, was making a defence: Acts 26:2: 'Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, king Agrippa, I have thought myself happy, being about to make a defence before thee to-day, Acts 26:3: especially knowing thee to be acquainted with all things — both customs and questions — among Jews; wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently to hear me. Acts 26:4: The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth — which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem — know do all the Jews, Acts 26:5: knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee; Acts 26:6: and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by God, I have stood judged, Acts 26:7: to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews; Acts 26:8: why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead? Acts 26:9: I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved me many things to do, Acts 26:10: which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them, Acts 26:11: and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining them to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting them even unto strange cities. Acts 26:12: In which things, also, going on to Damascus — with authority and commission from the chief priests — Acts 26:13: at mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light — and those going on with me; Acts 26:14: and we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? hard for thee against pricks to kick! Acts 26:15: 'And I said, Who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute; Acts 26:16: but rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the things thou didst see, and of the things in which I will appear to thee, Acts 26:17: delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now I send thee, Acts 26:18: to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me. Acts 26:19: 'Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, Acts 26:20: but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation; Acts 26:21: because of these things the Jews — having caught me in the temple — were endeavouring to kill me. Acts 26:22: 'Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come, Acts 26:23: that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.' Acts 26:24: And, he thus making a defence, Festus with a loud voice said, 'Thou art mad, Paul; much learning doth turn thee mad;' Acts 26:25: and he saith, 'I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of truth and soberness the sayings I speak forth; Acts 26:26: for the king doth know concerning these things, before whom also I speak boldly, for none of these things, I am persuaded, are hidden from him; for this thing hath not been done in a corner; Acts 26:27: thou dost believe, king Agrippa, the prophets? I have known that thou dost believe!' Acts 26:28: And Agrippa said unto Paul, 'In a little thou dost persuade me to become a Christian!' Acts 26:29: and Paul said, 'I would have wished to God, both in a little, and in much, not only thee, but also all those hearing me to-day, to become such as I also am — except these bonds.' Acts 26:30: And, he having spoken these things, the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and those sitting with them, Acts 26:31: and having withdrawn, they were speaking unto one another, saying — 'This man doth nothing worthy of death or of bonds;' Acts 26:32: and Agrippa said to Festus, 'This man might have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.'",

chapter_Acts_27 | {
"content": "Acts 27:1: And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus, Acts 27:2: and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, Acts 27:3: on the next day also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit him, having gone on unto friends, to receive their care. Acts 27:4: And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary, Acts 27:5: and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia, Acts 27:6: and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it, Acts 27:7: and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone, Acts 27:8: and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called 'Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city of Lasaea. Acts 27:9: And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous — because of the fast also being already past — Paul was admonishing, Acts 27:10: saying to them, 'Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives — the voyage is about to be;' Acts 27:11: but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul; Acts 27:12: and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, there to winter, which is a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west, Acts 27:13: and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained their purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete, Acts 27:14: and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon, Acts 27:15: and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given her up, we were borne on, Acts 27:16: and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat, Acts 27:17: which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast — so were borne on. Acts 27:18: And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding day they were making a clearing, Acts 27:19: and on the third day with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out, Acts 27:20: and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved. Acts 27:21: And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, 'It behoved you, indeed, O men — having hearkened to me — not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage; Acts 27:22: and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you — but of the ship; Acts 27:23: for there stood by me this night a messenger of God — whose I am, and whom I serve — Acts 27:24: saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee; Acts 27:25: wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me, Acts 27:26: and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.' Acts 27:27: And when the fourteenth night came — we being borne up and down in the Adria — toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them; Acts 27:28: and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms, Acts 27:29: and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come. Acts 27:30: And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as if out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors, Acts 27:31: Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, 'If these do not remain in the ship — ye are not able to be saved;' Acts 27:32: then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off. Acts 27:33: And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, 'Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing, Acts 27:34: wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;' Acts 27:35: and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it, he began to eat; Acts 27:36: and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food, Acts 27:37: (and we were — all the souls in the ship — two hundred, seventy and six), Acts 27:38: and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea. Acts 27:39: And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship, Acts 27:40: and the anchors having taken up, they were committing it to the sea, at the same time — having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind — they were making for the shore, Acts 27:41: and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the violence of the waves. Acts 27:42: And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape, Acts 27:43: but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first — to get unto the land, Acts 27:44: and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.",

chapter_Acts_28 | {
"content": "Acts 28:1: And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita, Acts 28:2: and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold; Acts 28:3: but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid them upon the fire, a viper — out of the heat having come — did fasten on his hand. Acts 28:4: And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, 'Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;' Acts 28:5: he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil, Acts 28:6: and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting it a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing their minds, said he was a god. Acts 28:7: And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge us; Acts 28:8: and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid his hands on him, healed him; Acts 28:9: this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed; Acts 28:10: who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail — they were lading us with the things that were necessary. Acts 28:11: And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri, Acts 28:12: and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days, Acts 28:13: thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second day we came to Puteoli; Acts 28:14: where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came; Acts 28:15: and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns — whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage. Acts 28:16: And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him. Acts 28:17: And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: 'Men, brethren, I — having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers — a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans; Acts 28:18: who, having examined me, were wishing to release me, because of their being no cause of death in me, Acts 28:19: and the Jews having spoken against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar — not as having anything to accuse my nation of; Acts 28:20: for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.' Acts 28:21: And they said unto him, 'We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee, Acts 28:22: and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;' Acts 28:23: and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening, Acts 28:24: and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing. Acts 28:25: And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word — 'Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers, Acts 28:26: saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive, Acts 28:27: for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them. Acts 28:28: 'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;' Acts 28:29: and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves; Acts 28:30: and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired house, and was receiving all those coming in unto him, Acts 28:31: preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness — unforbidden.",

chapter_Romans_1 | {
"content": "Romans 1:1: Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God — Romans 1:2: which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings — Romans 1:3: concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh, Romans 1:4: who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord; Romans 1:5: through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name; Romans 1:6: among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ; Romans 1:7: to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ! Romans 1:8: first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world; Romans 1:9: for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, Romans 1:10: always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you, Romans 1:11: for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that ye may be established; Romans 1:12: and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine. Romans 1:13: And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you — and was hindered till the present time — that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations. Romans 1:14: Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor, Romans 1:15: so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who are in Rome to proclaim good news, Romans 1:16: for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek. Romans 1:17: For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, 'And the righteous one by faith shall live,' Romans 1:18: for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 1:19: Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest it to them, Romans 1:20: for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead — to their being inexcusable; Romans 1:21: because, having known God they did not glorify Him as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened, Romans 1:22: professing to be wise, they were made fools, Romans 1:23: and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles. Romans 1:24: Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves; Romans 1:25: who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen. Romans 1:26: Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature; Romans 1:27: and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving. Romans 1:28: And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly; Romans 1:29: having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, Romans 1:30: evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Romans 1:31: unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; Romans 1:32: who the righteous judgment of God having known — that those practising such things are worthy of death — not only do them, but also have delight with those practising them.",

"content": "Romans 2:1: Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man — every one who is judging — for in that in which thou dost judge the other, thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost practise who art judging, Romans 2:2: and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, upon those practising such things. Romans 2:3: And dost thou think this, O man, who art judging those who such things are practising, and art doing them, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Romans 2:4: or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? — not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation! Romans 2:5: but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, Romans 2:6: who shall render to each according to his works; Romans 2:7: to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility — life age-during; Romans 2:8: and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness — indignation and wrath, Romans 2:9: tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek; Romans 2:10: and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek. Romans 2:11: For there is no acceptance of faces with God, Romans 2:12: for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged, Romans 2:13: for not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: — Romans 2:14: For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law — to themselves are a law; Romans 2:15: who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending, Romans 2:16: in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ. Romans 2:17: Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God, Romans 2:18: and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law, Romans 2:19: and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness, Romans 2:20: an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law. Romans 2:21: Thou, then, who art teaching another, thyself dost thou not teach? Romans 2:22: thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou rob temples? Romans 2:23: thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour? Romans 2:24: for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written. Romans 2:25: For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision. Romans 2:26: If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned? Romans 2:27: and the uncircumcision, by nature, fulfilling the law, shall judge thee who, through letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law. Romans 2:28: For he is not a Jew who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in flesh; Romans 2:29: but a Jew is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the praise is not of men, but of God.",

"content": "Romans 3:1: What, then, is the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision? Romans 3:2: much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God; Romans 3:3: for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless? Romans 3:4: let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, 'That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.' Romans 3:5: And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak) Romans 3:6: let it not be! since how shall God judge the world? Romans 3:7: for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged? Romans 3:8: and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say — 'We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous. Romans 3:9: What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin, Romans 3:10: according as it hath been written — 'There is none righteous, not even one; Romans 3:11: There is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking after God. Romans 3:12: All did go out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one. Romans 3:13: A sepulchre opened is their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps is under their lips. Romans 3:14: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Romans 3:15: Swift are their feet to shed blood. Romans 3:16: Ruin and misery are in their ways. Romans 3:17: And a way of peace they did not know. Romans 3:18: There is no fear of God before their eyes.' Romans 3:19: And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God; Romans 3:20: wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin. Romans 3:21: And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets, Romans 3:22: and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, — for there is no difference, Romans 3:23: for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God — Romans 3:24: being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Romans 3:25: whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God — Romans 3:26: for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who is of the faith of Jesus. Romans 3:27: Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith: Romans 3:28: therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law. Romans 3:29: The God of Jews only is He, and not also of nations? Romans 3:30: yes, also of nations; since one is God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

chapter_Romans_4 | {
"content": "Romans 4:1: What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh? Romans 4:2: for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast — but not before God; Romans 4:3: for what doth the writing say? 'And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;' Romans 4:4: and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt; Romans 4:5: and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned — to righteousness: Romans 4:6: even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works: Romans 4:7: 'Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered; Romans 4:8: happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.' Romans 4:9: Is this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision — for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham — to righteousness? Romans 4:10: how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision; Romans 4:11: and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them, Romans 4:12: and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. Romans 4:13: For not through law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith; Romans 4:14: for if they who are of law are heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless; Romans 4:15: for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither is transgression. Romans 4:16: Because of this it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, Romans 4:17: who is father of us all (according as it hath been written — 'A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe — God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being. Romans 4:18: Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: 'So shall thy seed be;' Romans 4:19: and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb, Romans 4:20: and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, Romans 4:21: and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do: Romans 4:22: wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness. Romans 4:23: And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him, Romans 4:24: but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned — to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead, Romans 4:25: who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.",

chapter_Romans_5 | {
"content": "Romans 5:1: Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5:2: through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:3: And not only so, but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance; Romans 5:4: and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope; Romans 5:5: and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us. Romans 5:6: For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious; Romans 5:7: for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die; Romans 5:8: and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us; Romans 5:9: much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath; Romans 5:10: for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life. Romans 5:11: And not only so, but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation; Romans 5:12: because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin; Romans 5:13: for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law; Romans 5:14: but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming. Romans 5:15: But, not as the offence so also is the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many; Romans 5:16: and not as through one who did sin is the free gift, for the judgment indeed is of one to condemnation, but the gift is of many offences to a declaration of 'Righteous,' Romans 5:17: for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one — Jesus Christ. Romans 5:18: So, then, as through one offence to all men it is to condemnation, so also through one declaration of 'Righteous' it is to all men to justification of life; Romans 5:19: for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous. Romans 5:20: And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, Romans 5:21: that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.",

"content": "Romans 6:1: What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound? Romans 6:2: let it not be! we who died to the sin — how shall we still live in it? Romans 6:3: are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized? Romans 6:4: we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk. Romans 6:5: For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of the rising again; Romans 6:6: this knowing, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin; Romans 6:7: for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin. Romans 6:8: And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him, Romans 6:9: knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship; Romans 6:10: for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God; Romans 6:11: so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:12: Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires; Romans 6:13: neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God; Romans 6:14: for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace. Romans 6:15: What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be! Romans 6:16: have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? Romans 6:17: and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and — were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up; Romans 6:18: and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness. Romans 6:19: In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness — to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness — to sanctification, Romans 6:20: for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness, Romans 6:21: what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those is death. Romans 6:22: And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit — to sanctification, and the end life age-during; Romans 6:23: for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.",

chapter_Romans_7 | {
"content": "Romans 7:1: Are ye ignorant, brethren — for to those knowing law I speak — that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth? Romans 7:2: for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband; Romans 7:3: so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's. Romans 7:4: So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God; Romans 7:5: for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that are through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death; Romans 7:6: and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter. Romans 7:7: What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said: Romans 7:8: Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness — for apart from law sin is dead. Romans 7:9: And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died; Romans 7:10: and the command that is for life, this was found by me for death; Romans 7:11: for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay me; Romans 7:12: so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good. Romans 7:13: That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command, Romans 7:14: for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin; Romans 7:15: for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do. Romans 7:16: And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good, Romans 7:17: and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me, Romans 7:18: for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find, Romans 7:19: for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise. Romans 7:20: And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me. Romans 7:21: I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present, Romans 7:22: for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man, Romans 7:23: and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that is in my members. Romans 7:24: A wretched man I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? Romans 7:25: I thank God — through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.",

chapter_Romans_8 | {
"content": "Romans 8:1: There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit; Romans 8:2: for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death; Romans 8:3: for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh, Romans 8:4: that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:5: For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit; Romans 8:6: for the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit — life and peace; Romans 8:7: because the mind of the flesh is enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself, Romans 8:8: for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God. Romans 8:9: And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ — this one is not His; Romans 8:10: and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness, Romans 8:11: and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you. Romans 8:12: So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; Romans 8:13: for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live; Romans 8:14: for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God; Romans 8:15: for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, 'Abba — Father.' Romans 8:16: The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God; Romans 8:17: and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ — if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:18: For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory about to be revealed in us; Romans 8:19: for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God; Romans 8:20: for to vanity was the creation made subject — not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it — in hope, Romans 8:21: that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God; Romans 8:22: for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now. Romans 8:23: And not only so, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting — the redemption of our body; Romans 8:24: for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for it? Romans 8:25: and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect it. Romans 8:26: And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth us, we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable, Romans 8:27: and He who is searching the hearts hath known what is the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints. Romans 8:28: And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose; Romans 8:29: because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren; Romans 8:30: and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify. Romans 8:31: What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God is for us, who is against us? Romans 8:32: He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us? Romans 8:33: Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God is He that is declaring righteous, Romans 8:34: who is he that is condemning? Christ is He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God — who also doth intercede for us. Romans 8:35: Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:36: (according as it hath been written — 'For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,') Romans 8:37: but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us; Romans 8:38: for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, Romans 8:39: nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.",

"content": "Romans 9:1: Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit, Romans 9:2: that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart — Romans 9:3: for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ — for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh, Romans 9:4: who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises, Romans 9:5: whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. Romans 9:6: And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who are of Israel are these Israel; Romans 9:7: nor because they are seed of Abraham are all children, but — 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;' Romans 9:8: that is, the children of the flesh — these are not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed; Romans 9:9: for the word of promise is this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.' Romans 9:10: And not only so, but also Rebecca, having conceived by one — Isaac our father — Romans 9:11: (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her — Romans 9:12: 'The greater shall serve the less;' Romans 9:13: according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.' Romans 9:14: What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness is with God? let it not be! Romans 9:15: for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;' Romans 9:16: so, then — not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness: Romans 9:17: for the Writing saith to Pharaoh — 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;' Romans 9:18: so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden. Romans 9:19: Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?' Romans 9:20: nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form it, Why me didst thou make thus? Romans 9:21: hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour? Romans 9:22: And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, Romans 9:23: and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call — us — Romans 9:24: not only out of Jews, but also out of nations, Romans 9:25: as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what is not My people — My people; and her not beloved — Beloved, Romans 9:26: and it shall be — in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.' Romans 9:27: And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved; Romans 9:28: for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land. Romans 9:29: and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.' Romans 9:30: What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that is of faith, Romans 9:31: and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive; Romans 9:32: wherefore? because — not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling, Romans 9:33: according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'",

Romans 10:4: For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing, Romans 10:5: for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,' Romans 10:6: and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down? Romans 10:7: or, 'Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up. Romans 10:8: But what doth it say? 'Nigh thee is the saying — in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach; Romans 10:9: that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved, Romans 10:10: for with the heart doth one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation; Romans 10:11: for the Writing saith, 'Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,' Romans 10:12: for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all those calling upon Him, Romans 10:13: for every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.' Romans 10:14: How then shall they call upon him in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe on him of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching? Romans 10:15: and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, 'How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!' Romans 10:16: But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who did give credence to our report?' Romans 10:17: so then the faith is by a report, and the report through a saying of God, Romans 10:18: but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed — 'to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.' Romans 10:19: But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, 'I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,' Romans 10:20: and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, 'I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;' Romans 10:21: and unto Israel He saith, 'All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'",

"content": "Romans 11:1: I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin: Romans 11:2: God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have ye not known — in Elijah — what the Writing saith? how he doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying, Romans 11:3: 'Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;' Romans 11:4: but what saith the divine answer to him? 'I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.' Romans 11:5: So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been; Romans 11:6: and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work. Romans 11:7: What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened, Romans 11:8: according as it hath been written, 'God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' — unto this very day, Romans 11:9: and David saith, 'Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them; Romans 11:10: let their eyes be darkened — not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.' Romans 11:11: I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation is to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy; Romans 11:12: and if the fall of them is the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them? Romans 11:13: For to you I speak — to the nations — inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify; Romans 11:14: if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them, Romans 11:15: for if the casting away of them is a reconciliation of the world, what the reception — if not life out of the dead? Romans 11:16: and if the first-fruit is holy, the lump also; and if the root is holy, the branches also. Romans 11:17: And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become — Romans 11:18: do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee! Romans 11:19: Thou wilt say, then, 'The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right! Romans 11:20: by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing; Romans 11:21: for if God the natural branches did not spare — lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee. Romans 11:22: Lo, then, goodness and severity of God — upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off. Romans 11:23: And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in; Romans 11:24: for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree? Romans 11:25: For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret — that ye may not be wise in your own conceits — that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in; Romans 11:26: and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, 'There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob, Romans 11:27: and this to them is the covenant from Me, when I may take away their sins.' Romans 11:28: As regards, indeed, the good tidings, they are enemies on your account; and as regards the choice — beloved on account of the fathers; Romans 11:29: for unrepented of are the gifts and the calling of God; Romans 11:30: for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these: Romans 11:31: so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness; Romans 11:32: for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness. Romans 11:33: O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways! Romans 11:34: for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor? Romans 11:35: or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?

Romans 12:3: For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith, Romans 12:4: for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office, Romans 12:5: so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

"content": "Romans 13:1: Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God, Romans 13:2: so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment. Romans 13:3: For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it, Romans 13:4: for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil. Romans 13:5: Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience, Romans 13:6: for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually; Romans 13:7: render, therefore, to all their dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour. Romans 13:8: To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other — law he hath fulfilled, Romans 13:9: for, 'Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;' Romans 13:10: the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, is the fulness of law. Romans 13:11: And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already is to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer is our salvation than when we did believe; Romans 13:12: the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light; Romans 13:13: as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation; Romans 13:14: but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought — for desires.",

Romans 14:4: Thou — who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. Romans 14:5: One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day alike; let each in his own mind be fully assured. Romans 14:6: He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it, and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God. Romans 14:7: For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die; Romans 14:8: for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's; Romans 14:9: for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord. Romans 14:10: And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ; Romans 14:11: for it hath been written, 'I live! saith the Lord — to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;' Romans 14:12: so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God; Romans 14:13: no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence. Romans 14:14: I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean — to that one it is unclean; Romans 14:15: and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died. Romans 14:16: Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of, Romans 14:17: for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; Romans 14:18: for he who in these things is serving the Christ, is acceptable to God and approved of men. Romans 14:19: So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another; Romans 14:20: for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, are pure, but evil is to the man who is eating through stumbling. Romans 14:21: Right it is not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak. Romans 14:22: Thou hast faith! to thyself have it before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve, Romans 14:23: and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that is not of faith is sin.",

Romans 15:5: And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus; Romans 15:6: that with one accord — with one mouth — ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; Romans 15:7: wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God.

Romans 15:17: I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God, Romans 15:18: for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed, Romans 15:19: in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ; Romans 15:20: and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named — that upon another's foundation I might not build — Romans 15:21: but according as it hath been written, 'To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.' Romans 15:22: Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you, Romans 15:23: and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years, Romans 15:24: when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled. Romans 15:25: And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints; Romans 15:26: for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem; Romans 15:27: for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them. Romans 15:28: This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain; Romans 15:29: and I have known that coming unto you — in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come. Romans 15:30: And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God, Romans 15:31: that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that is for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints; Romans 15:32: that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you, Romans 15:33: and the God of the peace be with you all.

"content": "1 Corinthians 6:1: Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 1 Corinthians 6:2: have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments? 1 Corinthians 6:3: have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life? 1 Corinthians 6:4: of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly — these cause ye to sit; 1 Corinthians 6:5: unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren! 1 Corinthians 6:6: but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers! 1 Corinthians 6:7: Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather defrauded? 1 Corinthians 6:8: but ye — ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these — brethren! 1 Corinthians 6:9: have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, 1 Corinthians 6:10: nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. 1 Corinthians 6:11: And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:12: All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I — I will not be under authority by any; 1 Corinthians 6:13: the meats are for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body; 1 Corinthians 6:14: and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power. 1 Corinthians 6:15: Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? let it be not! 1 Corinthians 6:16: have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? 'for they shall be — saith He — the two for one flesh.' 1 Corinthians 6:17: And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit; 1 Corinthians 6:18: flee the whoredom; every sin — whatever a man may commit — is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin. 1 Corinthians 6:19: Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own, 1 Corinthians 6:20: for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.",

"content": "1 Corinthians 7:1: And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good it is for a man not to touch a woman, 1 Corinthians 7:2: and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband; 1 Corinthians 7:3: to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband; 1 Corinthians 7:4: the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife. 1 Corinthians 7:5: Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence; 1 Corinthians 7:6: and this I say by way of concurrence — not of command, 1 Corinthians 7:7: for I wish all men to be even as I myself am; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus. 1 Corinthians 7:8: And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I am; 1 Corinthians 7:9: and if they have not continence — let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn; 1 Corinthians 7:10: and to the married I announce — not I, but the Lord — let not a wife separate from a husband: 1 Corinthians 7:11: but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife. 1 Corinthians 7:12: And to the rest I speak — not the Lord — if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away; 1 Corinthians 7:13: and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away; 1 Corinthians 7:14: for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 1 Corinthians 7:15: And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself — let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such cases, and in peace hath God called us; 1 Corinthians 7:16: for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save? 1 Corinthians 7:17: if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each — so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct: 1 Corinthians 7:18: being circumcised — was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised; 1 Corinthians 7:19: the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing — but a keeping of the commands of God. 1 Corinthians 7:20: Each in the calling in which he was called — in this let him remain; 1 Corinthians 7:21: a servant — wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free — use it rather; 1 Corinthians 7:22: for he who is in the Lord — having been called a servant — is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ: 1 Corinthians 7:23: with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men; 1 Corinthians 7:24: each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God. 1 Corinthians 7:25: And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful: 1 Corinthians 7:26: I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that it is good for a man that the matter be thus: — 1 Corinthians 7:27: Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 1 Corinthians 7:28: But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you. 1 Corinthians 7:29: And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened — that both those having wives may be as not having; 1 Corinthians 7:30: and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing; 1 Corinthians 7:31: and those using this world, as not using it up; for passing away is the fashion of this world. 1 Corinthians 7:32: And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; 1 Corinthians 7:33: and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. 1 Corinthians 7:34: The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband. 1 Corinthians 7:35: And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly, 1 Corinthians 7:36: and if any one doth think it to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin — let him marry. 1 Corinthians 7:37: And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart — not having necessity — and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart — to keep his own virgin — doth well; 1 Corinthians 7:38: so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better. 1 Corinthians 7:39: A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will — only in the Lord; 1 Corinthians 7:40: and she is happier if she may so remain — according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.",

"content": "1 Corinthians 14:1: Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy, 1 Corinthians 14:2: for he who is speaking in an unknown tongue — to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets; 1 Corinthians 14:3: and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort; 1 Corinthians 14:4: he who is speaking in an unknown tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify; 1 Corinthians 14:5: and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification. 1 Corinthians 14:6: And now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching? 1 Corinthians 14:7: yet the things without life giving sound — whether pipe or harp — if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped? 1 Corinthians 14:8: for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle? 1 Corinthians 14:9: so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give — how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air. 1 Corinthians 14:10: There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning, 1 Corinthians 14:11: if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner; 1 Corinthians 14:12: so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound; 1 Corinthians 14:13: wherefore he who is speaking in an unknown tongue — let him pray that he may interpret; 1 Corinthians 14:14: for if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful. 1 Corinthians 14:15: What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding; 1 Corinthians 14:16: since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known? 1 Corinthians 14:17: for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up! 1 Corinthians 14:18: I give thanks to my God — more than you all with tongues speaking — 1 Corinthians 14:19: but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an unknown tongue. 1 Corinthians 14:20: Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect; 1 Corinthians 14:21: in the law it hath been written, that, 'With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;' 1 Corinthians 14:22: so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy is not for the unbelieving, but for the believing, 1 Corinthians 14:23: If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? 1 Corinthians 14:24: and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all, 1 Corinthians 14:25: and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon his face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you. 1 Corinthians 14:26: What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up; 1 Corinthians 14:27: if an unknown tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret; 1 Corinthians 14:28: and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God. 1 Corinthians 14:29: And prophets — let two or three speak, and let the others discern, 1 Corinthians 14:30: and if to another sitting anything may be revealed, let the first be silent; 1 Corinthians 14:31: for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted, 1 Corinthians 14:32: and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject, 1 Corinthians 14:33: for God is not a God of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:34: Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith; 1 Corinthians 14:35: and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly. 1 Corinthians 14:36: From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come? 1 Corinthians 14:37: if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you — that of the Lord they are commands; 1 Corinthians 14:38: and if any one is ignorant — let him be ignorant; 1 Corinthians 14:39: so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak with tongues do not forbid; 1 Corinthians 14:40: let all things be done decently and in order.",

"content": "1 Corinthians 15:1: And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood, 1 Corinthians 15:2: through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain, 1 Corinthians 15:3: for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings, 1 Corinthians 15:4: and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings, 1 Corinthians 15:5: and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, 1 Corinthians 15:6: afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep; 1 Corinthians 15:7: afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 1 Corinthians 15:8: And last of all — as to the untimely birth — he appeared also to me, 1 Corinthians 15:9: for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God, 1 Corinthians 15:10: and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me; 1 Corinthians 15:11: whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe. 1 Corinthians 15:12: And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons? 1 Corinthians 15:13: and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen; 1 Corinthians 15:14: and if Christ hath not risen, then void is our preaching, and void also your faith, 1 Corinthians 15:15: and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise; 1 Corinthians 15:16: for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen, 1 Corinthians 15:17: and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins; 1 Corinthians 15:18: then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish; 1 Corinthians 15:19: if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied. 1 Corinthians 15:20: And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead — the first-fruits of those sleeping he became, 1 Corinthians 15:21: for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead, 1 Corinthians 15:22: for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive, 1 Corinthians 15:23: and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence, 1 Corinthians 15:24: then — the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power — 1 Corinthians 15:25: for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet — 1 Corinthians 15:26: the last enemy is done away — death; 1 Corinthians 15:27: for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him, 1 Corinthians 15:28: and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:29: Seeing what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why also are they baptized for the dead? 1 Corinthians 15:30: why also do we stand in peril every hour? 1 Corinthians 15:31: Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord: 1 Corinthians 15:32: if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die! 1 Corinthians 15:33: Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners; 1 Corinthians 15:34: awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say it. 1 Corinthians 15:35: But some one will say, 'How do the dead rise? 1 Corinthians 15:36: unwise! thou — what thou dost sow is not quickened except it may die; 1 Corinthians 15:37: and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others, 1 Corinthians 15:38: and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body. 1 Corinthians 15:39: All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds; 1 Corinthians 15:40: and there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one is the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly; 1 Corinthians 15:41: one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star from star doth differ in glory. 1 Corinthians 15:42: So also is the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; 1 Corinthians 15:43: it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 1 Corinthians 15:44: it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body; 1 Corinthians 15:45: so also it hath been written, 'The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam is for a life-giving spirit, 1 Corinthians 15:46: but that which is spiritual is not first, but that which was natural, afterwards that which is spiritual. 1 Corinthians 15:47: The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven; 1 Corinthians 15:48: as is the earthy, such are also the earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are also the heavenly; 1 Corinthians 15:49: and, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly. 1 Corinthians 15:50: And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption; 1 Corinthians 15:51: lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed; 1 Corinthians 15:52: in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we — we shall be changed: 1 Corinthians 15:53: for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality; 1 Corinthians 15:54: and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, 'The Death was swallowed up — to victory; 1 Corinthians 15:55: where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?' 1 Corinthians 15:56: and the sting of the death is the sin, and the power of the sin the law; 1 Corinthians 15:57: and to God — thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ; 1 Corinthians 15:58: so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.",

Galatians 2:14: But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

Galatians 2:17: And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be! Galatians 2:18: for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth; Galatians 2:19: for I through law, did die, that to God I may live; Galatians 2:20: with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh — in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me; Galatians 2:21: I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law — then Christ died in vain.",

Galatians 3:5: He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you — by works of law or by the hearing of faith is it? Galatians 3:6: according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness; Galatians 3:7: know ye, then, that those of faith — these are sons of Abraham, Galatians 3:8: and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham — Galatians 3:9: 'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham, Galatians 3:10: for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law — to do them,' Galatians 3:11: and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;' Galatians 3:12: and the law is not by faith, but — 'The man who did them shall live in them.' Galatians 3:13: Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,' Galatians 3:14: that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith. Galatians 3:15: Brethren, as a man I say it, even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to, Galatians 3:16: and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ; Galatians 3:17: and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise, Galatians 3:18: for if by law be the inheritance, it is no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant it. Galatians 3:19: Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator — Galatians 3:20: and the mediator is not of one, and God is one — Galatians 3:21: the law, then, is against the promises of God? — let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness, Galatians 3:22: but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing. Galatians 3:23: And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed, Galatians 3:24: so that the law became our child-conductor — to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous, Galatians 3:25: and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we, Galatians 3:26: for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus, Galatians 3:27: for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ; Galatians 3:28: there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus; Galatians 3:29: and if ye are of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise — heirs.",

"content": "Galatians 4:1: And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant — being lord of all, Galatians 4:2: but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father, Galatians 4:3: so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude, Galatians 4:4: and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law, Galatians 4:5: that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive; Galatians 4:6: and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!' Galatians 4:7: so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:8: But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods, Galatians 4:9: and now, having known God — and rather being known by God — how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude? Galatians 4:10: days ye observe, and months, and times, and years! Galatians 4:11: I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you. Galatians 4:12: Become as I am — because I also am as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt, Galatians 4:13: and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first, Galatians 4:14: and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me — as Christ Jesus; Galatians 4:15: what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me; Galatians 4:16: so that your enemy have I become, being true to you? Galatians 4:17: they are zealous for you — yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous; Galatians 4:18: and it is good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you; Galatians 4:19: my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you, Galatians 4:20: and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you. Galatians 4:21: Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear? Galatians 4:22: for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman, Galatians 4:23: but he who is of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who is of the free-woman, through the promise; Galatians 4:24: which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar; Galatians 4:25: for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now is, and is in servitude with her children, Galatians 4:26: and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all, Galatians 4:27: for it hath been written, 'Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many are the children of the desolate — more than of her having the husband.' Galatians 4:28: And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise, Galatians 4:29: but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now; Galatians 4:30: but what saith the Writing? 'Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;' Galatians 4:31: then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.",

"content": "Galatians 5:1: In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free — stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude; Galatians 5:2: lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing; Galatians 5:3: and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law; Galatians 5:4: ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away; Galatians 5:5: for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for, Galatians 5:6: for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working. Galatians 5:7: Ye were running well; who did hinder you — not to obey the truth? Galatians 5:8: the obedience is not of him who is calling you! Galatians 5:9: a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven; Galatians 5:10: I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be. Galatians 5:11: And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away; Galatians 5:12: O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you! Galatians 5:13: For ye — to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another, Galatians 5:14: for all the law in one word is fulfilled — in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;' Galatians 5:15: and if one another ye do bite and devour, see — that ye may not by one another be consumed. Galatians 5:16: And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete; Galatians 5:17: for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will — these ye may not do; Galatians 5:18: and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law. Galatians 5:19: And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Galatians 5:20: idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects, Galatians 5:21: envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit. Galatians 5:22: And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:23: meekness, temperance: against such there is no law; Galatians 5:24: and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires; Galatians 5:25: if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk; Galatians 5:26: let us not become vain-glorious — one another provoking, one another envying!",

Galatians 6:6: And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing — in all good things. Galatians 6:7: Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow — that also he shall reap, Galatians 6:8: because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during; Galatians 6:9: and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap — not desponding; Galatians 6:10: therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith. Galatians 6:11: Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand; Galatians 6:12: as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised — only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted, Galatians 6:13: for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory. Galatians 6:14: And for me, let it not be — to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world; Galatians 6:15: for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; Galatians 6:16: and as many as by this rule do walk — peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
