³¹ And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,

¹⁹ having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them -- to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.'

¹³ Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

¹⁴ I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius --

¹⁵ that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;

¹⁶ and I did baptize also Stephanas' household -- further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.

¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but -- to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;

¹⁸ for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us -- those being saved -- it is the power of God,

³⁸ and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

³⁶ And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, `Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'

³⁷ `And Philip said, `If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, `I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;''

³⁸ and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;

³⁹ and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;

⁴⁰ and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Cesarea.

⁵ Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;

¹³ for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,

⁴ And Paul said, `John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe -- that is, in the Christ -- Jesus;'

⁴⁷ Then answered Peter, `The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive -- even as also we?'

⁴⁸ he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.

⁴¹ then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,

¹⁸ And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

¹⁹ having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them -- to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.'

¹² And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;

¹³ and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.

¹⁴ And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,

¹³ If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!'

⁵ because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit -- after not many days.'

⁵ and they, having heard, were baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus,

⁶ and Paul having laid on them `his' hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,

⁷ and all the men were, as it were, twelve.

² let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it?

³ are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?

⁴ we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.

⁵ For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, `so' also we shall be of the rising again;

⁶ this knowing, that our old man was crucified with `him', that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

⁷ for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.

⁸ And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him,

³ are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?

⁴ we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.

⁵ For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, `so' also we shall be of the rising again;

¹⁶ he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

²¹ also to which an antitype doth now save us -- baptism, (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God,) through the rising again of Jesus Christ,

³³ and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayst see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;

³ are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?

⁵ (not by works that `are' in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

⁶ and Paul having laid on them `his' hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,

²¹ And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened,

²² and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, `Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in thee I did delight.'

²³ And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, son of Joseph,

¹² being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with `him' through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

⁴⁷ Then answered Peter, `The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive -- even as also we?'

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;

¹⁶ he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

¹⁷ `And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak;

⁸ but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.'

¹⁶ and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.

⁵ and they, having heard, were baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus,

⁹ And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;

¹⁰ and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;

¹¹ and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

²⁶ for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

²⁷ for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

²⁸ there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

¹³ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee upon the Jordan, unto John to be baptized by him,
