Acts 15:14Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,Acts 15:15and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:Acts 15:16After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright—Acts 15:17that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.Acts 15:18‘Known from the ages to God are all His works;Acts 15:19wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,Acts 15:20but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;Acts 15:21for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him—in the synagogues every sabbath being read.’Acts 15:22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas—Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren—Acts 15:23having written through their hand thus: ‘The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who are of the nations, greeting;Acts 15:24seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,Acts 15:25it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul—Acts 15:26men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—Acts 15:27we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.Acts 15:28‘For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things:Acts 15:29to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!’Acts 21:20and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, ‘Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law,Acts 21:21and they are instructed concerning thee, that apostasy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying—Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk;Acts 21:22what then is it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to come together, for they will hear that thou hast come.Acts 21:23‘This, therefore, do that we say to thee: We have four men having a vow on themselves,Acts 21:24these having taken, be purified with them, and be at expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk—thyself also—the law keeping.Acts 21:25‘And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.’Acts 26:22‘Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come,Acts 26:23that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.’Acts 28:23and 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,Romans 2:14For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law—to themselves are a law;Romans 2:15who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending,Romans 3:1What, then, is the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision?Romans 3:2much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God;Romans 3:21And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,Romans 3:22and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing,—for there is no difference,Romans 7:1Are ye ignorant, brethren—for to those knowing law I speak—that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?Romans 7:2for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;Romans 7:3so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man’s; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man’s.Romans 7:4So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another’s, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;Romans 7:5for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that are through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;Romans 7:6and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.Romans 7:7What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:Romans 7:12so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.Romans 7:14for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;Romans 8:3for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,Romans 10:4For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,Romans 13:10the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, is the fulness of law.2 Corinthians 3:7and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face—which was being made useless,2 Corinthians 3:8how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?2 Corinthians 3:9for if the ministration of the condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in glory;2 Corinthians 3:10for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious—in this respect, because of the superior glory;2 Corinthians 3:11for if that which is being made useless is through glory, much more that which is remaining is in glory.2 Corinthians 3:12Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,2 Corinthians 3:13and are not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless,2 Corinthians 3:14but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn—which in Christ is being made useless—Galatians 2:3but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised—Galatians 2:4and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,Galatians 2:5to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.Galatians 2:6And from those who were esteemed to be something—whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me—the face of man God accepteth not, for—to me those esteemed did add nothing,Galatians 2:7but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision,Galatians 2:8for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,Galatians 2:9and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go,Galatians 3:19Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator—Galatians 4:30but what saith the Writing?
