Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬

 “But people cannot do any work that will make them right with God. So they must trust in him. Then he accepts their faith, and that makes them right with him. He is the one who makes even evil people right.”

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.4.5.ERV

Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬-‭3

 “If Abraham was made right by the things he did, he had a reason to boast about himself. 

But God knew different. That’s why the Scriptures say, “Abraham believed God, and because of this he was accepted as one who is right with God.””

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.4.2-3.ERV

Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭28‬, ‭31‬

 “I mean we are made right with God through faith, not through what we have done to follow the law. This is what we believe. 

So do we destroy the law by following the way of faith? Not at all! In fact, faith causes us to be what the law actually wants.”

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.3.28.ERV

Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭25‬-‭26‬

“God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.”

Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭21‬-‭24

 “But God has a way to make people right, and it has nothing to do with the law. He has now shown us that new way, which the law and the prophets told us about. 

God makes people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe in Christ. Everyone is the same. 

All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness. They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. 

They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.”

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.3.21-24.ERV

Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬-‭20‬

 “What the law says is for those who are under the law. It stops anyone from making excuses. And it brings the whole world under God’s judgment, 

because no one can be made right with God by following the law. The law only shows us our sin.”

Romans 3:9-12

 “So are we Jews better than other people? No, we have already said that those who are Jews, as well as those who are not Jews, are the same. They are all guilty of sin. 

As the Scriptures say, “There is no one doing what is right, not even one. There is no one who understands. There is no one who is trying to be with God. 

They have all turned away from him, and now they are of no use to anyone. There is no one who does good, not even one.” Psalm 14:1-3

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.3.9-12.ERV

Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬-‭4‬

 “It is true that some Jews were not faithful to God. But will that stop God from doing what he promised? 

No, even if everyone else is a liar, God will always do what he says. As the Scriptures say about him, “You will be proved right in what you say, and you will win when people accuse you.” Psalm 51:4”

 “Those who are not Jews are not circumcised. But if they do what the law says, it is as if they were circumcised. 

A true Jew is one who is a Jew inside. True circumcision is done in the heart. It is done by the Spirit, not by the written law. And anyone who is circumcised in the heart by the Spirit gets praise from God, not from people.”

Romans 2:11-13

 “God judges everyone the same. It doesn’t matter who they are. 

People who have the law and those who have never heard of the law are all the same when they sin. People who don’t have the law and are sinners will be lost. And, in the same way, those who have the law and are sinners will be judged by the law. 

Hearing the law does not make people right with God. They will be right before him only if they always do what the law says.”

Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬-‭8‬

 “Some people live for God’s glory, for honor, and for life that cannot be destroyed. They live for those things by always continuing to do good. God will give eternal life to them. 

But others are selfish and refuse to follow truth. They follow evil. God will show his anger and punish them.”

 “So do you think that you can judge those other people? You are wrong. You too are guilty of sin. You judge them, but you do the same things they do. So when you judge them, you are really condemning yourself. 

And since you do the same things as those people you judge, surely you understand that God will punish you too. How could you think you would be able to escape his judgment?”

 “People knew God, but they did not honor him as God, and they did not thank him. Their ideas were all useless. There was not one good thought left in their foolish minds.

They traded the truth of God for a lie. They bowed down and worshiped the things God made instead of worshiping the God who made those things. He is the one who should be praised forever. Amen. 

Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex with men and started having sex with other women. 

In the same way, men stopped having natural sex with women and began wanting each other all the time. Men did shameful things with other men, and in their bodies they received the punishment for those wrongs.”

Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬

When the people living on the island saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said, “This man must be a murderer! He did not die in the sea, but Justice does not want him to live.” 

But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and was not hurt. The people thought he would swell up or fall down dead. 

They waited and watched him for a long time, but nothing bad happened to him. So they changed their opinion. They said, “He is a god!””

Then I went to Jerusalem and to every part of Judea and told the people there. I also went to the non-Jewish people. 

“This is why the Jews grabbed me and were trying to kill me at the Temple. 

But God helped me, and he is still helping me today. With God’s help I am standing here today and telling all people what I have seen. But I am saying nothing new. I am saying only what Moses and the prophets said would happen.”

I will keep you safe from your own people and from the non-Jewish people, the ones I am sending you to. You will make them able to understand the truth. 

They will turn away from darkness to the light. They will turn away from the power of Satan, and they will turn to God. Then their sins can be forgiven, and they can be given a place among God’s people—those who have been made holy by believing in me.’””

The leading priests gave me the authority to put many of God’s people in jail. And when they were being killed, I agreed that it was a good thing. 

I visited all the synagogues and punished them, trying to make them curse Jesus. My anger against these people was so strong that I went to other cities to find them and punish them.”‬

When I judged him, I did not find him guilty of any crime worthy of death. But he asked to be judged by Caesar, so I decided to send him to Rome. 

However, I don’t really know what to tell Caesar that this man has done wrong. So I have brought him before all of you—especially you, King Agrippa. I hope that you can question him and give me something to write to Caesar. 

I think it is foolish to send a prisoner to Caesar without making some charges against him.””

When we heard this, we and the other followers there begged Paul not to go to Jerusalem. 

But he said, “Why are you crying and making me feel so sad? I am willing to be put in jail in Jerusalem. I am even ready to die for the name of the Lord Jesus!”

[10] Paul went down to where Eutychus was, knelt down beside him, and put his arms around him. He said to the other believers, “Don’t worry. He is alive now.”

[13-14] Some Jews also were traveling around forcing evil spirits out of people. The seven sons of Sceva, one of the leading priests, were doing this. These Jews tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus to make the evil spirits go out of people. They all said, “By the same Jesus that Paul talks about, I order you to come out!” 

[15] But one time an evil spirit said to these Jews, “I know Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” 

[16] Then the man who had the evil spirit inside him jumped on these Jews. He was much stronger than all of them. He beat them up and tore their clothes off. They all ran away from that house.

[3] Paul asked them, “So what kind of baptism did you have?” They said, “It was the baptism that John taught.” 

[4] Paul said, “John told people to be baptized to show they wanted to change their lives. He told people to believe in the one who would come after him, and that one is Jesus.” 

[5] When these followers heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

[25] About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing songs to God. The other prisoners were listening to them. 

[26] Suddenly there was an earthquake so strong that it shook the foundation of the jail. All the doors of the jail opened, and the chains on all the prisoners fell off. 

[27] The jailer woke up and saw that the jail doors were open. He thought that the prisoners had already escaped, so he got his sword and was ready to kill himself. 

[28] But Paul shouted, “Don’t hurt yourself! We are all here!” 

[29] The jailer told someone to bring a light. Then he ran inside and, shaking with fear, fell down in front of Paul and Silas. 

[30] Then he brought them outside and said, “Men, what must I do to be saved?” 

[31] They said to him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved—you and all who live in your house.”

[17] She started following Paul and the rest of us around. She kept shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God! They are telling you how you can be saved!”

[47] This is what the Lord told us to do: ‘I have made you a light for the other nations, to show people all over the world the way to be saved.’” Isaiah 49:6

[27] The Jews living in Jerusalem and their leaders did not realize that Jesus was the Savior. The words the prophets wrote about him were read every Sabbath day, but they did not understand. They condemned Jesus. When they did this, they made the words of the prophets come true. 

[28] They could not find any real reason why Jesus should die, but they asked Pilate to kill him.

[30] But God raised him up from death!

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.13.27-30.ERV

Acts 13:23-24

[23] “As he promised, God has brought one of David’s descendants to Israel to be their Savior. That descendant is Jesus.

Acts 12:21-23

[21] Herod decided on a day to meet with them. On that day he was wearing a beautiful royal robe. He sat on his throne and made a speech to the people. 

[22] The people shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!” 

[23] Herod did not give the glory to God. So an angel of the Lord caused him to get sick. He was eaten by worms inside him, and he died.

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.12.21-23.ERV

Acts 12:6-11

[6] One night, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two of the soldiers. More soldiers were guarding the door of the jail. Herod was planning to bring Peter out before the people the next day. 

[7] Suddenly an angel of the Lord was standing there, and the room was filled with light. The angel tapped Peter on the side and woke him up. The angel said, “Hurry, get up!” The chains fell off Peter’s hands. 

[8] The angel said, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” Peter did as he was told. Then the angel said, “Put on your coat and follow me.” 

[9] So the angel went out and Peter followed. He did not know if the angel was really doing this. He thought he might be seeing a vision. 

[10] Peter and the angel went past the first guard and the second guard. Then they came to the iron gate that separated them from the city. The gate opened for them by itself. After they went through the gate and walked about a block, the angel suddenly left. 

[11] Peter realized then what had happened. He thought, “Now I know that the Lord really sent his angel to me. He rescued me from Herod and from everything those Jews thought would happen to me.”

[44] While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who were listening to his speech. 

[45] The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the Holy Spirit had been poured out as a gift also to people who were not Jews. 

[46] They heard them speaking different languages and praising God. Then Peter said, 

[47] “How can anyone object to these people being baptized in water? They have received the Holy Spirit the same as we did!”

[10] He was hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing the food for Peter to eat, he had a vision. 

[11] He saw something coming down through the open sky. It looked like a big sheet being lowered to the ground by its four corners. 

[12] In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles, and birds. 

[13] Then a voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill anything here and eat it.” 

[14] But Peter said, “I can’t do that, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is not pure or fit to be used for food.” 

[15] But the voice said to him again, “God has made these things pure. Don’t say they are unfit to eat.”

[41] He gave her his hand and helped her stand up. Then he called the believers and the widows into the room. He showed them Tabitha; she was alive! 

[42] People everywhere in Joppa learned about this, and many believed in the Lord.

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.9.40-42.ERV

Acts 9:22

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.9.22.ERV

Acts 9:17-18

[17] So Ananias left and went to the house of Judas. He laid his hands on Saul and said, “Saul, my brother, the Lord Jesus sent me. He is the one you saw on the road when you came here. He sent me so that you can see again and also be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 

[18] Immediately, something that looked like fish scales fell off Saul’s eyes. He was able to see! Then he got up and was baptized.

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.9.17-18.ERV

Acts 9:9-16

[9] For three days, Saul could not see; he did not eat or drink. 

[10] There was a follower of Jesus in Damascus named Ananias. In a vision the Lord said to him, “Ananias!” Ananias answered, “Here I am, Lord.” 

[11] The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight Street. Find the house of Judas and ask for a man named Saul from the city of Tarsus. He is there now, praying. 

[12] He has seen a vision in which a man named Ananias came and laid his hands on him so that he could see again.” 

[13] But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man. They told me about the many bad things he did to your holy people in Jerusalem. 

[14] Now he has come here to Damascus. The leading priests have given him the power to arrest all people who trust in you.” 

[15] But the Lord Jesus said to Ananias, “Go! I have chosen Saul for an important work. I want him to tell other nations, their rulers, and the people of Israel about me. 

[16] I will show him all that he must suffer for me.”

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.9.9-16.ERV

Acts 9:1-6

[1] In Jerusalem Saul was still trying to scare the followers of the Lord, even saying he would kill them. He went to the high priest 

[2] and asked him to write letters to the synagogues in the city of Damascus. Saul wanted the high priest to give him the authority to find people in Damascus who were followers of the Way. If he found any believers there, men or women, he would arrest them and bring them back to Jerusalem. 

[3] So Saul went to Damascus. When he came near the city, a very bright light from heaven suddenly shined around him. 

[4] He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” 

[5] Saul said, “Who are you, Lord?” The voice answered, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting. 

[6] Get up now and go into the city. Someone there will tell you what you must do.”

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.9.1-6.ERV

Acts 8:36, 38-40

[36] While they were traveling down the road, they came to some water. The official said, “Look, here is water! What is stopping me from being baptized?”

[38] Then the official ordered the chariot to stop. Both Philip and the official went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. 

[39] When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away; the official never saw him again. The official continued on his way home. He was very happy. 

[40] But Philip appeared in a city called Azotus. He was going to the city of Caesarea. He told people the Good News in all the towns on the way from Azotus to Caesarea.

Acts 8:32-35

[32] The part of the Scriptures that he was reading was this: “He was like a sheep being led to the butcher. He was like a lamb that makes no sound as its wool is being cut off. He said nothing. 

[33] He was shamed, and all his rights were taken away. His life on earth has ended. So there will be no story about his descendants.” Isaiah 53:7-8 

[34] The official said to Philip, “Please, tell me, who is the prophet talking about? Is he talking about himself or about someone else?” 

[35] Philip began to speak. He started with this same Scripture and told the man the Good News about Jesus.

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.8.32-35.ERV

Acts 8:18-24

[18] Simon saw that the Spirit was given to people when the apostles laid their hands on them. So he offered the apostles money. 

[19] He said, “Give me this power so that when I lay my hands on someone, they will receive the Holy Spirit.” 

[20] Peter said to Simon, “You and your money should both be destroyed because you thought you could buy God’s gift with money. 

[21] You cannot share with us in this work. Your heart is not right before God. 

[22] Change your heart! Turn away from these evil thoughts and pray to the Lord. Maybe he will forgive you. 

[23] I see that you are full of bitter jealousy and cannot stop yourself from doing wrong.” 

[24] Simon answered, “Both of you pray to the Lord for me, so that what you have said will not happen to me.”

[1-3] Saul agreed that the killing of Stephen was a good thing. Some godly men buried Stephen and cried loudly for him. 

On that day the Jews began to persecute the church in Jerusalem, making them suffer very much. Saul was also trying to destroy the group. He went into their houses, dragged out men and women, and put them in jail. 

All the believers left Jerusalem. Only the apostles stayed. The believers went to different places in Judea and Samaria. 

[4] They were scattered everywhere, and in every place they went, they told people the Good News.

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.7.59-60.ERV

Acts 7:54-56

[54] When those in the council meeting heard this, they became very angry. They were so mad they were grinding their teeth at him.

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.7.54-56.ERV

Acts 7:51-53

[51] Then Stephen said, “You stubborn Jewish leaders! You refuse to give your hearts to God or even listen to him. You are always against what the Holy Spirit wants you to do. That’s how your ancestors were, and you are just like them! 

[52] They persecuted every prophet who ever lived. They even killed those who long ago said that the Righteous One would come. And now you have turned against that Righteous One and killed him. 

[53] You are the people who received God’s law, which he gave you through his angels. But you don’t obey it!”

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.7.51-53.ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.5.40-42.ERV

Acts 5:34, 38-39

[34] But one member of the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, stood up. He was a teacher of the law, and all the people respected him. He told the men to make the apostles leave the meeting for a few minutes.

[38] And so now I tell you, stay away from these men. Leave them alone. If their plan is something they thought up, it will fail. 

[39] But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You might even be fighting against God himself!” The Jewish leaders agreed with what Gamaliel said.

https://bible.com/bible/406/act.5.34-39.ERV

[8] Peter said to her, “Tell me how much money you got for your field. Was it this much?” Sapphira answered, “Yes, that was all we got for the field.” 

[9] Peter said to her, “Why did you and your husband agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! Do you hear those footsteps? The men who buried your husband are at the door. They will carry you out in the same way.” 

[10] At that moment Sapphira fell down by his feet and died. The young men came in and saw that she was dead. They carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

[2] but he gave only part of the money to the apostles. He secretly kept some of the money for himself. His wife knew this, and she agreed with it. 

[3] Peter said, “Ananias, why did you let Satan fill your mind with such an idea? You kept part of the money for yourself and lied about it to the Holy Spirit! 

[4] Before you sold the field, it belonged to you, right? And even after you sold it, you could have used the money any way you wanted. How could you even think of doing such a thing? You lied to God, not to us!” 

[5-6] When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. Some young men came and wrapped his body. They carried it out and buried it. And everyone who heard about this was filled with fear.

John 21:18-19

[18] The truth is, when you were young, you tied your own belt and went where you wanted. But when you are old, you will put out your hands, and someone else will tie your belt. They will lead you where you don’t want to go.”

John 21:11-12

[11] Simon Peter got into the boat and pulled the net to the shore. It was full of big fish—153 of them! But even with that many fish, the net did not tear.

[5] Then he said to them, “Friends, have you caught any fish?” They answered, “No.” 

[6] He said, “Throw your net into the water on the right side of your boat. You will find some fish there.” So they did this. They caught so many fish that they could not pull the net back into the boat. 

[7] The follower Jesus loved very much said to Peter, “That man is the Lord!” When Peter heard him say it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself. (He had taken his clothes off to work.) Then he jumped into the water.

John 20:30-31

[25] They told him, “We saw the Lord.” Thomas said, “That’s hard to believe. I will have to see the nail holes in his hands, put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side. Only then will I believe it.” 

[26] A week later the followers were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. The doors were locked, but Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace be with you!” 

[27] Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here. Look at my hands. Put your hand here in my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

John 20:13-17

[13] The angels asked Mary, “Woman, why are you crying?” Mary answered, “They took away the body of my Lord, and I don’t know where they put him.” 

[14] When Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know that it was Jesus. 

[15] He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the man in charge of the garden. So she said to him, “Did you take him away, sir? Tell me where you put him. I will go and get him.” 

[16] Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and said in Aramaic, “Rabboni,” which means “Teacher.” 

[17] Jesus said to her, “You don’t need to hold on to me! I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my followers and tell them this: ‘I am going back to my Father and your Father. I am going back to my God and your God.’”

[32] So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men on the crosses beside Jesus. 

[33] But when the soldiers came close to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead. So they did not break his legs. 

[34] But one of the soldiers stuck his spear into Jesus’ side. Immediately blood and water came out.

[36] These things happened to give full meaning to the Scriptures that said, “None of his bones will be broken” 

[37] and “People will look at the one they stabbed.”
