¹ THEN Festus commanded him to be sent to Cµsar in Italy, and he delivered Paul together with other prisoners to a centurion of the company of Se-basÆti-an named Julius. ² When we were ready to sail, we embarked in a ship of the city of Ad-ra-mytÆti-um, bound for Asia Minor, and there boarded the ship with us, Ar-is-tarÆchus a Mac-e-doÆnian of the city of Thes-sa-lo-niÆca. ³ And the next day, we arrived at Sidon.

and he put us on board of it. ⁷ And because for a number of days she sailed slowly, we arrived with difficulty towards the Island of CniÆdus; and because the wind would not allow us to sail in a straight course, we had to sail around Crete towards the city of Sal-moÆne; ⁸ And as we hardly passed around it, we arrived at a place which is called The Fair Havens; and nearby was the city of La-seÆa. ⁹ There we remained for a long time, till also the day of the Jewish fast was over and, since it had now become dangerous for any one to sail, Paul gave them advice, ¹⁰ Saying, Men, I see that this voyage will be beset with hardship and with great loss, not only to the cargo of our ship but also of our lives. ¹¹ Nevertheless, the centurion listened to the master and owner of the ship more than to the words of Paul. ¹² And as the harbor was not commodious for wintering in, many of us were desirous to sail from thence, and if possible to reach and winter in a harbor at Crete, which is called Phe-niÆce, which lies towards the south. ¹³ And when the south wind blew softly, they thought they could reach their destination as they had desired, and we sailed around Crete. ¹⁴ A short while after, there arose against us a hurricane called Ty-phonÆic Eu-rocÆlydon. ¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not bear against the wind, we let her drive. ¹⁶ And as we passed under the lee of an island which is called ClauÆda, we could hardly man the shipÆs boat. ¹⁷ And when we had launched it, we began undergirding and repairing the ship; and because we were afraid of grounding, we lowered the sail, and so we drifted. ¹⁸ And as the violent storm raged against us, the next day we threw our belongings into the sea. ¹⁹ And on the third day we threw overboard with our own hands the tackling of the ship. ²⁰ And as the winter was so severe that for many days, neither sun nor stars could be seen, all hope of surviving was given up. ²¹ And as no man among them had eaten anything, Paul stood up in the midst of them, and said, Men, if you had listened to me, we would not have sailed from Crete, and we would have been spared this loss and suffering. ²² Now let me counsel you not to be depressed: for not a single life among you will be lost, but only the ship. ²³ For there has appeared to me this night the angel of God to whom I belong and whom I serve, ²⁴ And he said to me, Fear not, Paul;

and again, they sailed a little farther, and took soundings and found fifteen fathoms. ²⁹ Then, fearing lest we find ourselves caught between the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern of the ship, and prayed for the dawning of day. ³⁰ The sailors sought to desert the ship; so they lowered the shipÆs boat into the sea, under pretense that they were going in it to make fast the ship to the land. ³¹ And when Paul found it out, he said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain on board the ship, you cannot be saved. ³² Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the shipÆs boat from the ship and let her drift. ³³ But Paul till the early morning kept begging them all to eat, saying to them, Today is the fourteenth day since you have tasted anything because of fear. ³⁴ Wherefore, I pray you to take some food for the sustenance of your life; for not a hair shall be lost from the head of any of you. ³⁵ And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it, they began to eat. ³⁶ Then they were all cheerful, and received nourishment. ³⁷ We were in all, on board, two hundred and seventy-six persons. ³⁸ And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by taking the wheat and throwing it into the sea. ³⁹ When it was day, the sailors did not know what land it was; but they saw an inlet close to the shore, and thought if it were possible they would thrust the ship there. ⁴⁰ So they cut off the anchors from the ship, and threw them into the sea, and loosed the rudder ropes, then they hoisted the topsail to the wind, and sailed toward shore. ⁴¹ But the ship struck on a shoal between two deep places in the sea, and went aground; and the forward part rested upon the bottom and could not be moved, but the stern broke by the violence of the waves. ⁴² And the soldiers sought to kill the prisoners, lest some of them should swim away and so escape. ⁴³ But the centurion stopped them from doing this, because he was willing to save Paul; so he commanded those who could swim to cast themselves first into the sea and get to land. ⁴⁴ The others he made cross over on boards and on broken pieces of the ship. In this manner, all of them escaped and reached shore safely.

³ I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Ci-liÆcia, yet I was brought up in this city under the care and guidance of Ga-maÆli-el, and trained perfectly according to the law of our fathers, and was zealous toward God, just as you are also.

²⁶ When the centurion heard that, he went to the chief captain and said, Be careful what you do: for this man is a Roman citizen.

¹⁰ And because there was a great disturbance among them, the chief captain, fearing that they might tear Paul to pieces, sent Roman soldiers to go and seize him from among them and bring him into the castle. ¹¹ During the night, our LORD appeared to Paul and said, Be strong, for as you have testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so also you are to testify at Rome.

¹⁷ Then Paul sent for and called one of the centurions, and said, Take this young man to the captain, for he has something to tell him.

²⁴ And provide also an animal that they may set Paul on, and carry him safe to Felix the governor.

²³ And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul in comfort, and that none of his acquaintances should be prevented from ministering to him.

¹¹ If I had committed any crime or had done anything worthy of death, I should not refuse to die: but if there is no truth in the charges made against me, then no man may deliver me to them just to please them. I appeal to Cµsar. ¹² Festus, when he had conferred with his counsellors, decreed, You have appealed to Cµsar. You will go to Cµsar.

²⁵ But when I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and because he himself had appealed to be kept in custody for a trial before Cµsar, I commanded to send him.

¹ THEN Festus commanded him to be sent to Cµsar in Italy, and he delivered Paul together with other prisoners to a centurion of the company of Se-basÆti-an named Julius.

³ And the next day, we arrived at Sidon. And the centurion treated Paul with kindness, permitting him to visit his friends and to rest. ⁴ Then we sailed from thence, and because the winds were contrary, we had to sail towards Cyprus.

⁴⁰ So they cut off the anchors from the ship, and threw them into the sea, and loosed the rudder ropes, then they hoisted the topsail to the wind, and sailed toward shore. ⁴¹ But the ship struck on a shoal between two deep places in the sea, and went aground; and the forward part rested upon the bottom and could not be moved, but the stern broke by the violence of the waves.

In this manner, all of them escaped and reached shore safely.

¹ AFTERWARDS they learned that the island was called MelÆi-ta. ² And the barbarians who inhabited it showed us much kindness: for they kindled a fire and called us all to warm ourselves, because of heavy rain and the cold.

¹⁰ The inhabitants honored us with great honors: and when we departed from thence, they ladened us with provisions. ¹¹ After three months we departed, sailing in an Al-ex-anÆdri-an ship, which had wintered in the island, and which bore the sign of Castor and Pollux. ¹² Landing at Syracuse, we remained there for three days.

¹⁶ Then we entered Rome, and the centurion gave permission to Paul to live wherever he pleased with a soldier to guard him.

¹ PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, and chosen to proclaim the gospel of God

⁹ For God, whom I serve in spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness that unceasingly I make mention of you in my prayers;

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes; whether they are Jews first, or Arameans (Syrians). *

²⁰ He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God. ²¹ He felt assured that what God had promised him, God was able to fulfill.

²² But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, your fruits are holy, and the end thereof is life everlasting.

¹ LET every soul be subject to the sover eign authorities. For there is no power which is not from God: and those who are in authority are ordained by God.

⁶ He who is mindful concerning a dayÆs duty is considerate of his master; and every one who is not mindful concerning a dayÆs duty, is inconsiderate of his master. And he who is wasteful, is detrimental to his master even though he confesses it to God; and he who is not wasteful, is not wasteful to his master, yet he likewise tells it to God.

²² This is the reason why I have been many times prevented from coming to you. ²³ But now since I have no place in these countries, and as I have been desirous for many years past to come to you, ²⁴ When I leave for Spain, I hope to come to see you: and I hope that you will escort me thence after I have more or less fully enjoyed my visit. ²⁵ But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. ²⁶ For the brethren in Mac-e-doÆni-a and A-chaÆia have been pleased to take part in helping the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. ²⁷ They have been eager to do it, because they are indebted to them, for if the Gentiles have been made partakers with them, of their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them in material things. ²⁸ When, therefore, I have accomplished this and have finished distributing to them this kind of help, I will cross over toward you on my way to Spain. ²⁹ I know that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

²⁰ For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, because they belong to God.

³⁰ For if I by grace am made worthy why should I be reproached for that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.

⁴ Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we also may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the very comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds in Christ. ⁶ Even though we are oppressed, it is for the sake of your consolation and for the sake of your salvation that we are oppressed; and if we are comforted, it is so that you might be comforted also; to be strength in you that you may be able to bear these sufferings, the same which we also suffer.

⁸ For we would wish you to know, my brethren, about the trouble we had in Asia Minor, for we were greatly oppressed beyond our strength; insomuch that we despaired of our lives: ⁹ And we decided to die, not trusting in ourselves but in God who raises the dead: ¹⁰ Who delivered us from horrible deaths, and who will, we hope, again deliver us;

⁸ We are distressed in every way, but not overwhelmed; we are harassed on all sides, but not conquered; ⁹ Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

²⁵ Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was in shipwreck, a day and a night I have been adrift in the sea in shipwreck.

²⁵ Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was in shipwreck, a day and a night I have been adrift in the sea in shipwreck. ²⁶ On many journeys, I have been in perils from rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own kinsmen, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren;

²¹ After that I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

¹² At that time you were without Christ, being aliens to the customs of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope, and without God in the world.

⁵ Reason this within you which Jesus Christ also reasoned,

⁷ But these things which once were a gain to me, I counted a loss for the sake of Christ.

⁷ But these things which once were a gain to me, I counted a loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ And I still count them all a loss, for the sake of abundant knowledge of Jesus Christ my LORD: for whom I have lost everything, and I have considered all those things as refuse, so that I may increase in Christ

⁸ And I still count them all a loss, for the sake of abundant knowledge of Jesus Christ my LORD: for whom I have lost everything, and I have considered all those things as refuse, so that I may increase in Christ ⁹ And be found in him, since I have no righteousness of my own gained from the law, but the righteousness which comes through the faith of Christ; that is, the righteousness which comes from God:

¹⁰ Ar-is-tarÆchus, my fellow-prisoner, salutes you, together with Mark, cousin to Barnabas, concerning whom you have been instructed: and if he comes, receive him;

¹³ Now I want you to know, my brethren, that you should not grieve over those who are dead, as those do who have no hope.

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, my brethren beloved of our LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through holiness of the Spirit and through a true faith: ¹⁴ And it is to these things that God called you by our preaching, to be the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.

³ Who prohibit marriage, and demand abstinence from foods which God has created for use and thanksgiving of those who believe and know the truth. ⁴ For all things created by God are good, nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

²³ Do not drink water in excess, but use a little wine for your stomachÆs sake, and because of your frequent illnesses.

³ I thank God, whom I have served from boyhood with a pure conscience, that I have always remembered you in my prayers night and day.

⁸ Be not, therefore, ashamed of the testimony of our LORD, nor of me his prisoner; but bear the hardships that go along with the preaching of the gospel through the power of God;

¹² For this cause I suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have trusted, and I am sure he will take care of me until that day.

²⁴ A servant of our LORD must not quarrel; but be gentle to all men, apt at teaching and patient,

¹⁶ When I first wrote you, there was no one with me, for all had forsaken me: Do not hold this against them. ¹⁷ Nevertheless, my LORD stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁷ Nevertheless, my LORD stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, in the faith of GodÆs elect, and in the knowledge of true godliness;

⁵ For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are wanting and ordain elders in every city where there is a need as I had commanded you.

¹² One of them, even a prophet of their own, said, The CreÆtians are always liars, vicious beasts with empty bellies.

¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might purify us to be his own, a new people, zealous of good works.

²⁴ So do Mark, Ar-is-tarÆchus, DeÆmas, and Luke, my fellow-workers.

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth in the service for those who shall inherit life everlasting?

¹⁹ That promise is like an anchor to us; it upholds the soul so that it may not be shaken, and it penetrates beyond the veil of the temple;

⁷ By faith Noah, when he was warned concerning the things not seen, became fearful and he made an ark to save his household, and by it he condemned the world and he became heir of righteousness which is by faith.

¹ THEREFORE, seeing we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us;

²⁴ Salute all your spiritual leaders and all the saints. All of the brethren of Italy salute you.

⁴ Behold also the ships, great as they are, when driven by severe winds, they are turned about with a very small rudder, wherever the pilot wishes.

¹⁶ Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man is powerful.

⁹ But you are a chosen people; ministers to the kingdom, a holy people, a congregation redeemed to proclaim the glories of him who has called you out of darkness to his marvelous light: ¹⁰ You, who in the past were not considered a people, but who are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but who now have mercy poured out upon you.

²⁰ Those who in the past were disobedient; and in the days of Noah, when the Spirit of God had patience, he commanded an ark to be made in the hope of their repentance, but only eight souls entered into it, and were saved by it floating upon the water.

¹⁶ If any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God through that very name.

¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely be saved, how shall the wicked and the sinner stand judgment?

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

⁵ And if any man desires to harm them, fire will come out of their mouths and will consume their enemies: and if any man desires to harm them, he must in this manner be killed. ⁶ These have power to control the sky, so that it will not rain in those days: and have power over waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. ⁷ And when they have finished their testimony, the wild beast which ascends out of the bottomless pit, shall make war against them and shall overcome them.

¹⁷ And every shipmaster, and all the travelers in ships, and sailors, and all those who labor at sea stood afar off,

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
