yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.

For it shall be that when you call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

For all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son, they are Mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.

For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give [as] an exchange for his soul?

but glory, honor, and peace to everyone that works good, both to the Jew first and to the Greek.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes, both to the Jew first and to the Greek.

Or is He the God of the Jews only? But is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, also of Gentiles,

since there is one God who will justify [the] circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

Does this blessing then come upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [he had while] in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all those that believe, although uncircumcised, so that righteousness should also be imputed to them,

even us whom He called, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him.

Now I say that Christ Jesus has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers,

and that the Gentiles might glorify God on behalf of His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, and I will sing praise to Your name."

You especially have I known out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I take vengeance upon you for all your sins.

Then He began to reproach the cities in which His very many miracles had been done, because they did not repent:

Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

But I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you."

for my eyes have seen Your salvation

a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory to Your people Israel."

And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not get ready or do according to his will, shall be beaten [with] many [blows].

But he who did not know, yet did things worthy of [blows], shall be beaten [with] few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be demanded; and to whom much has been entrusted, of him they will ask much more.

and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."

And hearing these things, they remained silent, and [they] glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted even to the Gentiles repentance unto life."

"Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the message of this salvation has been sent.

But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly said, "It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken to you first; but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life; behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you to be a light of the nations, that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.'"

Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, solemnly bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

But because they were opposing and blaspheming, he shook off his clothes and said to them, "Your blood [be] on your [own] heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

solemnly bearing witness to both Jews and to Greeks, the repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

but to those first in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, proclaiming that they must repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance.

And it came to pass after three days that Paul called together those who were prominent among the Jews; and when they had come together, he said to them: "Men, brothers, though I have done nothing against the people or the customs of our forefathers, yet I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem, into the hands of the Romans,

"Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!"

We [who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by [the] faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by [the] faith of Christ and not by [the] works of the law; because no flesh shall be justified by [the] works of the law.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made by hands in the flesh--

But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have come to be near by the blood of Christ.

having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man [from] the two, [thus] making peace,

And having come, He preached peace to you who were far away and to those near.

where there is not Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

For the time [has come] for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if [it begins] with us first, what will be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?
