Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, {even} unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. {I have...: or, ye have me in your heart} {of my...: or, with me of grace}

And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. {in bonds: or, in a chain} {therein: or, thereof}

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men {and} brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver {him} into the hands of the Gentiles.

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see {you}, and to speak with {you}: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
