²¹ testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

¹¹ and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this -- the life -- is in His Son;

¹² he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God -- the life he hath not.

¹³ These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

²⁴ but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

¹⁸ And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, `Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'

¹⁵ and saying -- `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'

¹⁷ From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, `Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.'

¹² And having gone forth they were preaching that `men' might reform,

³ No -- I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so shall perish.

⁴⁷ and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

³⁰ the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn `them' from darkness to light, and `from' the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that `is' toward me.

²⁰ but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation;

¹⁰ for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,

¹⁵ Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,

²² Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

¹⁶ having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

²⁰ with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

²² but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

⁵ for if even in the flesh I am absent -- yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ;

²⁵ in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

²⁶ and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will.

⁵ hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

¹ Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:

⁵ who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;

¹⁸ he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

⁹ that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

¹ Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

²⁵ They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.

¹⁹ reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

⁴⁰ Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, `Be saved from this perverse generation;'

³¹ and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

³⁶ he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

¹⁰ `So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.'

⁷ `I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.

⁵ No -- I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner shall perish.'

³¹ which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, `The first.' Jesus saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God,

³² for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last -- to believe him.

² and saying, `Reform, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens,'

⁴³ to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

³⁸ `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,

³⁹ and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

²⁴ but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned -- to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,

²² and the righteousness of God `is' through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

²³ for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

²⁴ being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that `is' in Christ Jesus,

²⁵ whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --

²⁶ for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who `is' of the faith of Jesus.

⁴ or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? -- not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation!

¹⁶ for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

¹⁴ Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,

²³ and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,

²⁴ And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ,

¹⁷ and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified,

⁴ and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.

⁵ And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

³¹ and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;'

³⁰ Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block,

³¹ Cast from off you all your transgressions, By which ye have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do ye die, O house of Israel?

³² For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And turn ye back and live!
