You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always oppose the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.

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.

But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.

Nevertheless they would not hear, but stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who had not believed in Jehovah their God.

Now do not stiffen your necks, like your fathers, but give your hands unto Jehovah; and enter His sanctuary, which He has consecrated for all time, and serve Jehovah your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, to make the wrath of Jehovah swell up against His people, till there was no healing.

But they and our fathers acted presumptuously, hardened their necks, and did not heed Your commandments,

and refused to obey, and they were not mindful of Your wonders that You did among them. But they hardened their necks, and in their rebellion they appointed a leader to return to their bondage. But You are God, ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness; and did not forsake them.

and testified against them, that You might bring them back to Your Law. Yet they acted presumptuously, and did not heed Your commandments, but sinned against Your judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them. And they shrugged their shoulders, stiffened their necks, and would not obey.

harden not your hearts, as in the strife, as in the day of testing in the wilderness,

And He shall be a sanctuary for you; but a stone of stumbling, and a rock of falling to both the houses of Israel; and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Yet they did not listen to Me, nor extend their ear, but hardened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their necks so that they might not hear My Words.

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes, that they should not understand with their hearts and be turned, and I should heal them.

Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

but exhort one another daily, while it is called Today, that not any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

And about that time there was no small disturbance about the Way;

and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,

unless it is for this one statement which I cried out while standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day.

But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.

This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

And many will follow their destructive ways, through whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,

But these speak evil of things they do not know; and whatever they understand naturally, like animals without reason, in these things they corrupt themselves.

But the multitude of the city was divided: and part were with the Jews, but part with the apostles.

And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas.

And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who revered God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing and believing, were immersed.

Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into the ditch.

A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. And He left them and departed.

Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.

Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.

Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

Blessed is the man who gives heed to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Have you come out, as against a robber, to take Me with swords and clubs? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.

Preach the Word. Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
