So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.

Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.

Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.

My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
