And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to the people, speak.

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He brought them out of it.

Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, It was necessary that the Word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

Having raised up His Son Jesus, God sent Him to you first, to bless you in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.

Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham Your friend forever?

O seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His elect.

He declares His Word unto Jacob, His Statutes and His justice unto Israel.

He has not dealt thus with any other nation; and they have not known His justice. Praise YAH!

But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, My friend;

Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah and make mention of the God of Israel (but not in truth nor in righteousness;

Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek Jehovah: Look to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you have been dug.

This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.

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

I bring near My righteousness. It shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not delay. And I will place salvation in Zion, My glory for Israel.

and raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,

to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins,

that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.
