And this continued for two years until all who dwelt in Asia Minor, both Jews and Arameans (Syrians), heard the word of God.

And God wrought great miracles by the hands of Paul:

So mightily grew the faith of God and greatly increased in numbers.

And at that time there was a great uprising against those who followed in the way of God.

Serving God with great humility and with tears and amid the trials which were brought upon me by conspiracies of the Jews.

Thus testifying both to the Jews and to the Syr''i-ans, about repentance toward God and faith in our LORD Jesus Christ.

But to me my life is nothing; I am not afraid. I desire only that I may finish my course with joy and finish the ministry, which I have received from our LORD Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

And now I know that you, among whom I have traveled and preached the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

For I have never shunned to declare to you, all the will of God.

And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all the saints.

And when we had saluted them, Paul told them in successive order everything that God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.

And when they heard it, they glorified God, and said to Paul, Our brother, see how many thousands there are in Juda who are believers; and they are all zealous of the law;

I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Ci-li''cia, yet I was brought up in this city under the care and guidance of Ga-ma''li-el, and trained perfectly according to the law of our fathers, and was zealous toward God, just as you are also.

And he said to me, The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear the voice of his mouth.

AND as Paul beheld their assembly, he said, Men, my brethren, I have lived i n all good conscience before God until this day.

Then Paul said to him, God shall smite you, O you hypocrite: for you sit to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself transgress the law, when you command that I be smitten.

And those who stood by said to him, Do you even revile the high priest of God?

But this I confess, that in that very teaching which they mention, I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

And I have the same hope in God which they themselves hold, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

For this reason, I labor to have always a clear conscience before God and before men.
