But the father of Publios was ill in a fever, and a disease of the bowels. And Paulos went in to him, and prayed and laid his hand on him, and healed him.

And some of them were persuaded by his words, and others were not persuaded.

And Paulos hired his own house, and was in it two years, and received there all those who came to him.

concerning his Son, who was born, according to the flesh, of the seed of the house of David,

by whom we have received grace and apostleship among all nations, that they should become obedient unto the faith of his name:

For a witness unto me is Aloha, whom I serve in the spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing at all time I remember you in my prayers.

For the occult things [fn] of Aloha from the foundations of the world, unto his creatures by intelligence are apparent, and his power and his Godhead eternal, that they may be without excuse.

Or upon the riches of his goodness, and upon his long-suffering, and upon the space he giveth thee, presumest thou ? and knowest not that the goodness of Aloha unto repentance leadeth thee?

who rendereth to every man according to his works.

because thou knowest his will, and distinguishest the things that are fitting, because thou art learned from the law;

But if our iniquity the righteousness of Aloha establisheth, what shall we say ? Is Aloha evil, who bringeth his wrath ? As a man do I speak.

For if the truth of Aloha is promoted by my lie unto his glory, why then am I judged as a sinner ?

whom Aloha before ordained (to be) a propitiation through faith in his blood for our sins which from the first we had sinned, within the space which Aloha hath given to us in his patience,

unto the manifestation of his righteousness which (is) in this time: that he might be just, and might justify in righteousness him who is in the faith of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

But to him who worketh, his wages are not reckoned to him as of favour, but as that which is owing to him:

but to him who worketh not, but believeth only in him who justifieth sinners, his faith is reckoned to him for righteousness.

Blessed is the man to whom Aloha reckoneth not his sin.

Is this blessedness, then, upon the circumcision (only), or upon the uncircumcision (also) ? Now we have said, that his faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

For he received the sign of circumcision (as) a seal of the righteousness of his faith, which (was his) in uncircumcision, that he should be the father of all them who believe of the uncircumcision; that it might be accounted also to them for righteousness:

FOR not through the law was the promise unto Abraham and to his seed that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
