when your terror comes like a storm; and your devastation arrives like a tempest, when distress and anguish come upon you.

Then they shall call upon me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me.

since it is righteous judgment with God to repay with affliction those who trouble you,

Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine; the soul who sins shall die.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

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

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

since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? 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 still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, that righteousness might be accounted to them also;

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

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich toward all who call upon Him.

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

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

You only have I known of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:

But 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 shall 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 to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people Israel.

And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

and that repentance and remission of sins be preached in His name to all nations, beginning out of Jerusalem.

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.

When they heard these things they kept silent; and they glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance unto life.

Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the Word of this salvation is sent.

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.

For thus the Lord has commanded us: I have set you as a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

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.

testifying both to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance.

And it came to pass after three days that Paul called those being chief of the Jews together. So when they had come together, he said to them: Men and brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered 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 through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believe into Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the Law; for by the works of the Law no flesh shall be justified.

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

Therefore remember that you, being Gentiles in the flesh; who are called uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision made in the flesh by hands;

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made 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 He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.

where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all things 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 do not obey the gospel of God?
