Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, They have beaten us publickly, uncondemned, and have cast us into prison, who are Romans: and do they now thrust us out privately? Nay verily: but let them come themselves and conduct us out.
wesleynt@Acts:16:39 @ And they came and comforted them; and conducting them out, requested that they would depart from the city.
wesleynt@Acts:17:1 @ And taking their journey through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
wesleynt@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them believed, and were joined to Paul and Silas, and a great number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the principal women.
wesleynt@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews who believed not, filled with zeal, taking to them some of the mean and profligate fellows, and making a mob, set all the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, sought to bring them out to the people.
wesleynt@Acts:17:6 @ But not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying aloud, These men, that have turned the world upside down, are come hither also:
wesleynt@Acts:17:7 @ Whom Jason hath privately received; and all these men act contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, that there is another king, one Jesus.
wesleynt@Acts:17:8 @ And they alarmed the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
wesleynt@Acts:17:10 @ But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea, who coming thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
wesleynt@Acts:17:12 @ Therefore many of them believed, and of the Grecian women of considerable rank, and of the men not a few.
wesleynt@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea also, they came thither likewise, and stirred up the multitude.
wesleynt@Acts:17:14 @ Then the brethren sent away Paul immediately, to go as it were to the sea; but Silas and Timothy continued there.
wesleynt@Acts:17:15 @ And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens, and having received an order to Silas and Timothy, to come to him with all speed, they departed.
wesleynt@Acts:17:17 @ He therefore discoursed in the synagogue to the Jews and the devout persons, and in the market-place daily to those whom he met with.
wesleynt@Acts:17:18 @ Then some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers incountered him: and some said, What would this babler say? Others, he seemeth to be a proclaimer of strange gods; because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.
wesleynt@Acts:17:20 @ For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears; we would therefore know, what these things mean?
wesleynt@Acts:17:21 @ (For all the Athenians, and the strangers sojourning there, spent their time in nothing else, but telling or hearing some new thing.)
wesleynt@Acts:17:22 @ Then Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that ye are greatly addicted to the worship of invisible powers.
wesleynt@Acts:17:25 @ Neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed any thing, he himself giving to all life and breath, and all things.
wesleynt@Acts:17:26 @ And he hath made of one the whole nation of men, to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation:
wesleynt@Acts:17:30 @ The times of ignorance indeed God overlooked; but he now commandeth all men every where to repent.
wesleynt@Acts:17:31 @ Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world righteously, by the man whom he hath ordained, whereof he hath given assurance to all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
wesleynt@Acts:17:32 @ And when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, some mocked: but others said, We will hear thee again concerning this.
wesleynt@Acts:17:33 @ So Paul departed from among them. Howbeit, some clave to him and believed:
wesleynt@Acts:17:34 @ among whom was even Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
wesleynt@Acts:18:1 @ After these things, Paul departing from Athens, came to Corinth.
wesleynt@Acts:18:2 @ And finding a certain Jew name Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy with Priscilla his wife (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome) he went to them.
wesleynt@Acts:18:3 @ And as he was of the same trade, he abode with them and wrought, for they were tent-makers by trade.
wesleynt@Acts:18:5 @ And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ.
wesleynt@Acts:18:6 @ But when they set themselves in opposition and blasphemed, he shook his raiment and said to them, Your blood is upon your own head; I am pure: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
wesleynt@Acts:18:7 @ And going thence, he went into the house of one named Justus, one that worshiped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue.
wesleynt@Acts:18:12 @ But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made an assault with one consent upon Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat, Saying,
wesleynt@Acts:18:13 @ This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
wesleynt@Acts:18:15 @ But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of these matters.
wesleynt@Acts:18:16 @ And he drove them away from the judgment-seat.
wesleynt@Acts:18:17 @ Then they all took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.
wesleynt@Acts:18:19 @ And he came to Ephesus, and left him there; but he himself going into the synagogue, reasoned with the Jews.
wesleynt@Acts:18:21 @ But took his leave of them, saying, I must by all means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem, but I will return to you again, if God will.
wesleynt@Acts:18:23 @ And having spent some time there, he departed, and went over the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, confirming all the disciples.
wesleynt@Acts:18:24 @ Now a certain Jew, Apollos by name, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
wesleynt@Acts:18:27 @ And when he was desirous to go over to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; who being come thither, greatly helped through grace them that had believed.
wesleynt@Acts:19:1 @ Now while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper parts, came to Ephesus;
wesleynt@Acts:19:4 @ And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe on him that was to come after him, that is on Jesus.
wesleynt@Acts:19:5 @ And hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
wesleynt@Acts:19:6 @ And Paul laying his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spake with tongues and prophesied.
wesleynt@Acts:19:7 @ And they were in all about twelve men. And going into the synagogue,
wesleynt@Acts:19:9 @ But when some were hardened, and would not believe, but spake reproachfully of the way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
wesleynt@Acts:19:12 @ So that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits came out of them.
wesleynt@Acts:19:13 @ And some of the vagabond Jews, who were exorcists, undertook to name the name of the Lord Jesus, over those who had evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
wesleynt@Acts:19:17 @ And this was known to all both Jews and Greeks dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
wesleynt@Acts:19:18 @ And many of those who believed came, confessing and openly declaring their deeds.
wesleynt@Acts:19:19 @ Many also of those who had practised curious arts, bringing their books together, burnt them before all men, and they computed the value of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
wesleynt@Acts:19:21 @ After these things were ended, Paul purposed in spirit, having passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
wesleynt@Acts:19:23 @ And about that time, there arose no small tumult concerning the way.
wesleynt@Acts:19:24 @ For a man named Demetrius, a silver smith, who made silver shrines of Diana, procured no small gain to the artificers:
wesleynt@Acts:19:25 @ Whom having gathered together, with the workmen employed in such things, he said, Sirs, ye know, that our maintenance arises from this occupation.
wesleynt@Acts:19:29 @ And the whole city was filled with confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's fellow-travellers.
wesleynt@Acts:19:31 @ And some also of the principal officers of Asia, being his friends, sent to him and desired, that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
wesleynt@Acts:19:32 @ Some therefore cried one thing, and some another; for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know, for what they were come together.
wesleynt@Acts:19:35 @ But the register, having pacified the people, said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not, that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
wesleynt@Acts:19:37 @ For ye have brought these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
wesleynt@Acts:19:38 @ If then Demetrius and the artificers that are with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are held, and there are proconsuls; let them implead one another.
wesleynt@Acts:20:2 @ And having gone through those parts, and exhorted them with much discourse, he came into Greece.
wesleynt@Acts:20:6 @ and came to them at Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.
wesleynt@Acts:20:7 @ And on the first day of the week, when we were met together to break bread, Paul being to depart on the morrow, preached to them, and continued his discourse till midnight.
wesleynt@Acts:20:9 @ And a certain young man, named Eutychus, sitting in a window, fell into a deep sleep: and as Paul still continued his discourse, being overpowered with sleep, he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
wesleynt@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him up and came to Mitylene.
wesleynt@Acts:20:15 @ And sailing thence, we came the following day over-against Chios, and the next day we touched at Samos, and having tarried at Trogyllium, the day after came to Miletus.
wesleynt@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend any time in Asia; for he hasted, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
wesleynt@Acts:20:18 @ And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know in what manner I have conversed among you, all the time from the first day I came into Asia,
wesleynt@Acts:20:19 @ Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and trials which befell me through the ambushes of the Jews:
wesleynt@Acts:20:22 @ And now behold, being bound by the Spirit, I go to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
wesleynt@Acts:20:23 @ Save that the Holy Ghost testifieth to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.
wesleynt@Acts:20:24 @ But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life precious to myself, so I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
wesleynt@Acts:20:26 @ Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men:
wesleynt@Acts:20:30 @ Yea, from among yourselves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
wesleynt@Acts:20:31 @ Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, I ceased not to warn every one, night and day, with tears.
wesleynt@Acts:20:32 @ And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified.
wesleynt@Acts:20:34 @ Yea, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministred to my necessities, and to them that were with me.
wesleynt@Acts:20:35 @ I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, which he himself said, It is happier to give than to receive.
wesleynt@Acts:21:6 @ And having embraced each other we took ship, and they returned home.
wesleynt@Acts:21:7 @ And finishing our voyage, we came from Tyre to Ptolemais, and saluting the brethren, we abode with them one day.
wesleynt@Acts:21:8 @ And the next day, we departed and came to Cesarea; and entring into the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
wesleynt@Acts:21:10 @ And as we tarried many days, a certain prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judea.
wesleynt@Acts:21:13 @ But Paul answered, What mean ye, weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
wesleynt@Acts:21:16 @ And some of the disciples also from Cesarea went with us, and brought us to one Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
wesleynt@Acts:21:17 @ And when we were come up to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
wesleynt@Acts:21:18 @ And the next day, Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
wesleynt@Acts:21:21 @ But they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest the Jews who are among the Gentiles, to apostatize from Moses, telling them, not to circumcise their children, nor to walk after the customs.
wesleynt@Acts:21:22 @ What is it therefore? The multitude must needs come together; for they will hear that thou art come.
wesleynt@Acts:21:23 @ Therefore do this that we say to thee: there are with us four men, who have a vow on them:
wesleynt@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them, entered into the temple, declaring the accomplishment of the days of purification, till the offering should be offered for every one of them.
wesleynt@Acts:21:28 @ stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, Crying out, Men of Israel, help! This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: yea, and hath even brought Greeks into the temple, and polluted this holy place.
wesleynt@Acts:21:30 @ And the whole city was moved, and the people ran together; and laying hold on Paul, they dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the gates were shut.
wesleynt@Acts:21:31 @ And as they went about to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar:
wesleynt@Acts:21:32 @ Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them; and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they ceased from beating Paul.
wesleynt@Acts:21:33 @ Then the tribune came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired, Who he was, and what he had done?
wesleynt@Acts:21:34 @ But some among the multitude cried out one thing, some another; and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
wesleynt@Acts:21:35 @ But when he came upon the stairs, he was borne of the soldiers, through the violence of the people.
wesleynt@Acts:21:39 @ But Paul said, I am a man who am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
wesleynt@Acts:22:1 @ Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye now my defence unto you.
wesleynt@Acts:22:4 @ And I persecuted this way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women: As likewise the high priest is my witness, and all the estate of the elders:
wesleynt@Acts:22:6 @ But as I journeyed and drew near to Damascus, about noon suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
wesleynt@Acts:22:7 @ And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
wesleynt@Acts:22:8 @ And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
wesleynt@Acts:22:9 @ And they that were with me, saw the light, and were terrified; but they did not hear the voice of him that spake to me, And I said, What shall I do, Lord?
wesleynt@Acts:22:10 @ And the Lord said to me, Rise and go into Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed thee to do.
wesleynt@Acts:22:11 @ And as I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand by them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
wesleynt@Acts:22:13 @ well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there, Coming to me, stood and said to me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
wesleynt@Acts:22:15 @ For thou shalt be his witness to all men, of what thou hast seen and heard.
wesleynt@Acts:22:16 @ And now, why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
wesleynt@Acts:22:18 @ I was in a trance, And saw him saying to me, Make haste and depart quickly out of Jerusalem; for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
wesleynt@Acts:22:20 @ And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by and consenting to his death, and kept the garments of them that slew him.
wesleynt@Acts:22:21 @ But he said to me, Depart: for I will send thee far off to the Gentiles.
wesleynt@Acts:22:23 @ And as they cried out, and rent their garments, and cast dust into the air,
wesleynt@Acts:22:27 @ Then the tribune came and said to him, Tell me, Art thou a Roman?
wesleynt@Acts:22:29 @ And Paul said, But I was free-born. Then they who were going to examine him, immediately departed from him: and the tribune was afraid, after he knew he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
wesleynt@Acts:22:30 @ And on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty, what he was accused of by the Jews, he loosed him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come, and bringing Paul down, set him before them.
wesleynt@Acts:23:1 @ And Paul earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God till this day.
wesleynt@Acts:23:3 @ Then said Paul to him, God is about to smite thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
wesleynt@Acts:23:6 @ But Paul perceiving, that the one part were Saducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; for the hope of the resurrection of the dead am I called in question.
wesleynt@Acts:23:11 @ And the night following, the Lord standing by him, said, Be of good courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so thou must testify at Rome also.
wesleynt@Acts:23:12 @ And when it was day, some of the Jews entering into a conspiracy, bound themselves under a curse, saying, That they would neither eat nor drink, till they had killed Paul.
wesleynt@Acts:23:14 @ And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves by a solemn curse, not to taste anything, till we have killed Paul.
wesleynt@Acts:23:15 @ Now therefore ye with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him down to you to-morrow, as though ye would more accurately examine the things concerning him: and we, before he came near, are ready to kill him.
wesleynt@Acts:23:16 @ But Paul's sister's son, hearing of the ambush, came, and entering into the castle, told Paul.
wesleynt@Acts:23:17 @ And Paul calling to him one of the centurions, said, Conduct this young man to the tribune; for he hath something to tell him.
wesleynt@Acts:23:18 @ So he took and led him to the tribune, and said, Paul the prisoner, calling me to him, desired me, to bring this young man to thee, who hath something to tell thee.
wesleynt@Acts:23:19 @ And the tribune taking him by the hand, and going aside privately asked, What is it, that thou hast to tell me?
wesleynt@Acts:23:20 @ And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee, to bring down Paul to-morrow to the council, as if they would enquire something concerning him more accurately.
wesleynt@Acts:23:22 @ So the tribune dismissed the young man, having charged him, Tell no man, that thou hast discovered these things to me.
wesleynt@Acts:23:23 @ And having called to him two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, by the third hour of the night.
wesleynt@Acts:23:27 @ and about to be killed by them, I came with the soldiery and rescued him, having learned, that he was a Roman.
wesleynt@Acts:23:28 @ And desiring to know the crime of which they accused him, I brought him before their council: Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law,
wesleynt@Acts:23:30 @ And when it was shewn me, that an ambush was about to be laid for the man by the Jews, I immediately sent him to thee, commanding his accusers also, to say before thee what they have against him. Farewel.
wesleynt@Acts:23:32 @ On the morrow they returned to the castle, leaving the horsemen to go with him:
wesleynt@Acts:23:35 @ And being informed, that he was of Cilicia, I will give thee, said he, a thorough hearing, when thy accusers also are come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's palace.
wesleynt@Acts:24:1 @ And after five days, Ananias the high priest came down with the elders, and a certain orator, named Tertullus; and appeared before the governor against Paul.
wesleynt@Acts:24:4 @ I beseech thee of thy clemency to hear us a few words.
wesleynt@Acts:24:8 @ Commanding his accusers to come to thee, whereby thou mayst thyself on examination, take knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him.
wesleynt@Acts:24:12 @ And they neither found me disputing with any man in the temple, nor making an insurrection among the people, either in the synagogues or in the city.
wesleynt@Acts:24:13 @ Nor can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. But this I confess unto thee,
wesleynt@Acts:24:17 @ Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and offerings.
wesleynt@Acts:24:18 @ Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purifying in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult:
wesleynt@Acts:24:19 @ Who ought to have been present before thee, and to accuse me, if they had any thing against me.
wesleynt@Acts:24:20 @ Or let these themselves say, what crime they found in me, when I stood before the council,
wesleynt@Acts:24:22 @ And when Felix heard these things, he put them off, saying, After I have been more accurately informed concerning this way, when Lysias the tribune cometh down, I will take full cognisance of your affair.
wesleynt@Acts:24:24 @ And after some days, Felix coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
wesleynt@Acts:24:25 @ And as he reasoned concerning justice, temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
wesleynt@Acts:25:1 @ Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he went up from Cesarea to Jerusalem.
wesleynt@Acts:25:5 @ Therefore let those of you, said he, who are able, go down with me and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
wesleynt@Acts:25:6 @ And having tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Cesarea; and the next day, sitting on the judgment-seat, he commanded Paul to be brought.
wesleynt@Acts:25:7 @ And when he was come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem, stood round about him, bringing many and heavy accusations against Paul, which they were not able to prove:
wesleynt@Acts:25:9 @ But Festus, willing to gratify the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged before me concerning these things?
wesleynt@Acts:25:10 @ Then said Paul, I am standing at Cesar's judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as thou also very well knowest.
wesleynt@Acts:25:11 @ For if indeed I have done wrong, and have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there is nothing of the things whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up to them.
wesleynt@Acts:25:13 @ And after certain days, king Agrippa and Bernice came to Cesarea, to salute Festus.
wesleynt@Acts:25:15 @ About whom when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews informed me, desiring judgment against him.
wesleynt@Acts:25:16 @ To whom I answered, It is not the custom of the Romans, to give up any man, till he that is accused have the accusers face to face, and have liberty to make his defence, touching the crime laid to his charge.
wesleynt@Acts:25:17 @ When therefore they were come hither, I without any delay sat at the judgment seat the next day, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
wesleynt@Acts:25:19 @ But had certain questions against him, relating to their own religious worship, and about one Jesus that was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
wesleynt@Acts:25:23 @ And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pomp, and were entered into the place of audience, with the tribunes and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought forth.
wesleynt@Acts:25:24 @ And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all ye who are present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have pleaded with me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out, that he ought not to live any longer.
wesleynt@Acts:25:26 @ Of whom I have nothing certain to send to my lord: wherefore I have brought him before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that after examination taken, I may have somewhat to write.
wesleynt@Acts:25:27 @ For it seemeth to me unreasonable, to send a prisoner, and not to signify also the crimes alledged against him.
wesleynt@Acts:26:3 @ Who art accurately acquainted with all the customs and questions which are among the Jews, wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
wesleynt@Acts:26:5 @ all the Jews know, Who knew me from the first, (if they would testify) that I lived a Pharisee, after the strictest sect of our religion.
wesleynt@Acts:26:6 @ And now I stand in judgment, for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers:
wesleynt@Acts:26:9 @ I indeed thought myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth:
wesleynt@Acts:26:11 @ And frequently punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
wesleynt@Acts:26:13 @ with authority and commission from the chief priests, At mid-day, O king, I saw in the way, a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round me and them that journeyed with me.
wesleynt@Acts:26:14 @ And when we were all fallen down to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.
wesleynt@Acts:26:18 @ and the Gentiles, to whom I now send thee, To open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God; that they may receive through faith which is in me, forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among them that are sanctified.
wesleynt@Acts:26:19 @ From that time, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
wesleynt@Acts:26:21 @ For these things the Jews seizing me in the temple, attempted to kill me with their own hands.
wesleynt@Acts:26:28 @ Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
wesleynt@Acts:26:29 @ And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but likewise all that hear me, were this day both almost and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
wesleynt@Acts:27:1 @ And as soon as it was determined, that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul, and certain other prisoners, to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan Cohort.
wesleynt@Acts:27:5 @ And having sailed through the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
wesleynt@Acts:27:7 @ And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were scarce come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone.
wesleynt@Acts:27:8 @ And passing it with difficulty, we came to the Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.
wesleynt@Acts:27:9 @ And as much time was spent, and sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was already past,
wesleynt@Acts:27:12 @ And as the haven was not convenient to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from thence also, if by any means they might reach Phenice, to winter there, which is an haven of Crete looking to the south-west and north-west.
wesleynt@Acts:27:21 @ But after long abstinence, Paul standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and so have avoided this injury and loss.
wesleynt@Acts:27:23 @ For there stood by me this night an angel of the God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul;
wesleynt@Acts:27:25 @ Wherefore, Sirs, take courage: for I trust in God, that it shall be even as it hath been spoken to me.
wesleynt@Acts:27:27 @ And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, the sailors suspected, that they drew nigh some land.
wesleynt@Acts:27:29 @ And fearing lest they should fall upon some rocky ground, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
wesleynt@Acts:27:36 @ Then were they all incouraged, and they also took meat.
wesleynt@Acts:27:40 @ And having taken up the anchors, they committed it to the sea, at the same time loosing the rudder-bands, and hoisting up the stay-sail to the wind, they made for the shore.
wesleynt@Acts:27:41 @ But falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship a ground; and the fore-part sticking fast, remained immovable, but the hinder-part was broken by the force of the waves.
wesleynt@Acts:27:44 @ And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship; and so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
wesleynt@Acts:28:1 @ And being escaped, we then knew, that the island was called Melita.
wesleynt@Acts:28:6 @ However they expected, that he would have swollen, or suddenly fallen down dead: but after having waited a considerable time, seeing no mischief befall him, they changed their minds and said, that he was a god.
wesleynt@Acts:28:7 @ And near that place was the estate of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who receiving us into his house, entertained us courteously three days.
wesleynt@Acts:28:10 @ came and were healed, Who likewise honoured us with many honours, and when we departed, put on board such things as were necessary.
wesleynt@Acts:28:13 @ we tarried there three days, Whence coasting round, we came to Rhegium, and the south wind rising after one day, we came the next to Puteoli:
wesleynt@Acts:28:14 @ Where finding brethren, we were intreated to tarry with them seven days, and so we went toward Rome.
wesleynt@Acts:28:15 @ And the brethren having heard of us, came out thence to meet us, some as far as Appii Forum, and others to the Three Taverns, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.
wesleynt@Acts:28:16 @ And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with the soldier that kept him.
wesleynt@Acts:28:17 @ And after three days, Paul called the chief of the Jews together. And when they were come together, he said to them, Brethren, though I have done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet have I been delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:
wesleynt@Acts:28:18 @ Who having examined me, were willing to have released me, because there was no cause of death in me.
wesleynt@Acts:28:23 @ And having appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he expounded the kingdom of God, testifying and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning till evening.
wesleynt@Acts:28:24 @ And some believed the things that were spoken, and some believed not.
wesleynt@Acts:28:30 @ And Paul continued two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came to him,
wesleynt@Romans:1:5 @ By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith in all nations for his name, Among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ:
wesleynt@Romans:1:6 @ To all that are in Rome,
wesleynt@Romans:1:9 @ For God, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, how incessantly I make mention of you,
wesleynt@Romans:1:10 @ Always requesting in my prayers to come unto you, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God.
wesleynt@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift,
wesleynt@Romans:1:12 @ that ye may be established, That is, to be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me.
wesleynt@Romans:1:13 @ Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you, (though I have been hindred hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.
wesleynt@Romans:1:15 @ Therefore, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also who are at Rome.
wesleynt@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, both to the Jew and to the Gentile.
wesleynt@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who detain the truth in unrighteousness.
wesleynt@Romans:1:21 @ Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.
wesleynt@Romans:1:22 @ Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
wesleynt@Romans:1:26 @ Amen. Therefore God gave them up to vile affections; for even their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature: And likewise also the men,
wesleynt@Romans:1:27 @ leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their lust toward each other, men with men working filthiness, and receiving in themselves the just recompence of their error.
wesleynt@Romans:1:31 @ Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful.
wesleynt@Romans:1:32 @ Who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in those that do them.
wesleynt@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for wherein thou judgest the other, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost the same things.
wesleynt@Romans:2:2 @ For we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against them who do such things.
wesleynt@Romans:2:3 @ And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest them that do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
wesleynt@Romans:2:5 @ But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up to thyself wrath in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God?
wesleynt@Romans:2:16 @ In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Christ Jesus, according to my gospel.
wesleynt@Romans:2:21 @ Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that proclaimest, a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
wesleynt@Romans:2:24 @ For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
wesleynt@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou keepest the law; but if thou art a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
wesleynt@Romans:2:29 @ But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
wesleynt@Romans:3:3 @ For what if some believed not? Shall their unbelief disannul the faithfulness of God?
wesleynt@Romans:3:4 @ God forbid: let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
wesleynt@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unjust, who taketh vengeance?
wesleynt@Romans:3:8 @ And why may we not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm us to say) do evil, that good may come? Whose damnation is just.
wesleynt@Romans:3:12 @ They have all turned aside; they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doth good, no not one.
wesleynt@Romans:3:26 @ I say, of his righteousness in this present time, that he might be just, and yet the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus.
wesleynt@Romans:3:30 @ and the uncircumcision through the same faith.
wesleynt@Romans:4:9 @ Cometh this happiness then on the circumcision only, or on the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.
wesleynt@Romans:5:5 @ And hope shameth us not, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
wesleynt@Romans:5:6 @ For when we were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly.
wesleynt@Romans:5:8 @ But God recommendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
wesleynt@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin, even so death passed upon all men, in that all had sinned.
wesleynt@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
wesleynt@Romans:5:18 @ As therefore by one offence the sentence of death came upon all men to condemnation, so also by one righteousness the free gift came upon all men to justification of life.
wesleynt@Romans:5:20 @ But the law came in between, that the offence might abound: yet where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
wesleynt@Romans:6:13 @ Neither present your members to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members to God, as instruments of righteousness.
wesleynt@Romans:6:18 @ Being then set free from sin, ye are become the servants of righteousness.
wesleynt@Romans:6:19 @ I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. As ye have presented your members servants to uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity, so now present your members servants of righteousness, unto holiness.
wesleynt@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit had ye then from those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
wesleynt@Romans:6:22 @ But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
wesleynt@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh, sinful passions, which were by the law, wrought in our members, so as to bring forth fruit unto death.
wesleynt@Romans:7:8 @ But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of desire: for without the law sin was dead.
wesleynt@Romans:7:9 @ And I was once alive without the law; but when the commandment came,
