For it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner without clearly indicating<n id="1" /> the charges against him.&#8221;p>

Of course,<n id="1" /> I myself was convinced<n id="2" /> that it was necessary to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought<n id="1" /> they could carry out<n id="2" /> their purpose, so they weighed anchor<n id="3" /> and sailed close along the coast<n id="4" /> of Crete.

If anyone intends to quarrel about this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.p>

<p class="bodytext">If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord&#8217;s command.

&#8211; though mine too are significant.<n id="1" /> If someone thinks he has good reasons to put confidence in human credentials,<n id="2" /> I have more:

<t /><p class="bodytext">Therefore we must be wary<n id="1" /> that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.

Or do you think the scripture means nothing when it says,<n id="1" /> &#8220;The spirit that God<n id="2" /> caused<n id="3" /> to live within us has an envious yearning&#8221;?<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;What<n id="1" /> do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, &#8216;Son, go and work in the vineyard today.&#8217;

Or do you think that I cannot call on my Father, and that he would send me more than twelve legions<n id="1" /> of angels right now?

He<n id="1" /> answered them, &#8220;Do you think these Galileans were worse sinners<n id="2" /> than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?

You study the scriptures thoroughly<n id="1" /> because you think in them you possess eternal life,<n id="2" /> and it is these same scriptures<n id="3" /> that testify about me,

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Do not suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.<n id="1" />

(Now Jesus had been talking about<n id="1" /> his death, but they<n id="2" /> thought he had been talking about real sleep.)<n id="3" />p>

Thus they were looking for Jesus,<n id="1" /> and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts,<n id="2" /> &#8220;What do you think? That he won&#8217;t come to the feast?&#8221;

They will put you out of<n id="1" /> the synagogue,<n id="2" /> yet a time<n id="3" /> is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God.<n id="4" />

Peter<n id="1" /> went out<n id="2" /> and followed him;<n id="3" /> he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real,<n id="4" /> but thought he was seeing a vision.

<p class="bodytext">Guard against self-deception, each of you.<n id="1" /> If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.

But in my opinion, she will be happier if she remains as she is &#8211; and I think that I too have the Spirit of God!p>
