But God raised him up,<n id="1" /> having released<n id="2" /> him from the pains<n id="3" /> of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.<n id="4" />

For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says,p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>The Lord said to my lord,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8220;<b><i>Siti>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>at my right handi>b>p>

Then the commander<n id="1" /> of the temple guard<n id="2" /> went with the officers<n id="3" /> and brought the apostles<n id="4" /> without the use of force<n id="5" /> (for they were afraid of being stoned by the people).<n id="6" />p>

So the twelve<n id="1" /> called<n id="2" /> the whole group<n id="3" /> of the disciples together and said, &#8220;It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to wait on tables.<n id="4" />

They brought forward false witnesses who said, &#8220;This man does not stop saying things against this holy place<n id="1" /> and the law.<n id="2" />

Then a famine occurred throughout<n id="1" /> Egypt and Canaan, causing<n id="2" /> great suffering, and our<n id="3" /> ancestors<n id="4" /> could not find food.

He thought his own people<n id="1" /> would understand that God was delivering them<n id="2" /> through him,<n id="3" /> but they did not understand.<n id="4" />

&#8216;<b><i>I am the God of your forefathers,i>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>the God of Abraham, Isaac,i>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>and Jacobi>b>.&#8217;<n id="3" /> Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look more closely.<n id="4" />

Our<n id="1" /> ancestors<n id="2" /> were unwilling to obey<n id="3" /> him, but pushed him aside<n id="4" /> and turned back to Egypt in their hearts,

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.

Immediately an angel of the Lord<n id="1" /> struck<n id="2" /> Herod<n id="3" /> down because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died.<n id="4" />

and by this one<n id="1" /> everyone who believes is justified<n id="2" /> from everything from which the law of Moses could not justify<n id="3" /> you.<n id="4" />

yet he did not leave himself without a witness by doing good,<n id="1" /> by giving you rain from heaven<n id="2" /> and fruitful seasons, satisfying you<n id="3" /> with food and your hearts with joy.&#8221;<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now some men came down from Judea<n id="1" /> and began to teach the brothers, &#8220;Unless you are circumcised<n id="2" /> according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.&#8221;

Since we have heard that some have gone out from among us with no orders from us and have confused<n id="1" /> you, upsetting<n id="2" /> your minds<n id="3" /> by what they said,<n id="4" />

When they came to<n id="1" /> Mysia,<n id="2" /> they attempted to go into Bithynia,<n id="3" /> but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow<n id="4" /> them to do this,<n id="5" />

The God who made the world and everything in it,<n id="1" /> who is<n id="2" /> Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by human hands,<n id="3" />

so that they would search for God and perhaps grope around<n id="1" /> for him and find him,<n id="2" /> though he is<n id="3" /> not far from each one of us.

So since we are God&#8217;s offspring, we should not think the deity<n id="1" /> is like gold or silver or stone, an image<n id="2" /> made by human<n id="3" /> skill<n id="4" /> and imagination.<n id="5" />

but since it concerns points of disagreement<n id="1" /> about words and names and your own law, settle<n id="2" /> it yourselves. I will not be<n id="3" /> a judge of these things!&#8221;
