Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them to go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, concerning this question.

Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily service.

because they rebelled against His Spirit, so that he spoke rashly with his lips.

I have seen the end of all perfection, but Your Commandment is exceedingly broad.

For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to desire is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

and said, O full of all deceit and all mischief, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

And when we had set sail from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
