When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.

On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?

Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

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

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?(I speak as a man)

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

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;

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

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?(that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Or, Who shall descend into the deep?(that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
