And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek.

2 who was well spoken of by the in Lystra and Iconium brothers.

The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

3 This one wanted Paul with him to go forth, and having taken he circumcised him on account of the Jews those being in the parts those; they knew for all that a Greek (the father *N+kO) of him was.

Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 While then they were passing through the cities, they were delivering to them to keep the decrees which [were] decided on by the apostles and (of the *k) elders who [were] in Jerusalem.

And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.

and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;

8 having passed by then Mysia they came down to Troas.

and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

9 And a vision during the night to Paul appeared: A man of Macedonia certain was already standing (and *no) beseeching him and saying; Having passed over into Macedonia do help us.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

10 When now the vision he had seen, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia concluding that he has called us (God *N+KO) to evangelise to them.

And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them.

11 Having sailed (then *N+KO) from Troas we made a straight course to Samothrace, (and *N+kO) the following day to Nea Polis,

Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

12 (and from there and from there *N+kO) to Philippi, which is ([the] leading [city] *N+kO) (of the *ko) district of Macedonia [the] city, [and Roman] colony. We were now in (this *NK+o) city staying days some.

and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.

13 On the then day of the Sabbaths we went forth outside the (gate *N+KO) by a river where (we were accustomed *N+KO) (prayer *N+kO) to have, And having sat down we were speaking to those having gathered women.

And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.

15 When then she was baptized and the house of her, she begged saying; If you have judged me faithful to the Lord to be, having entered into the house of mine (do remain; *N+kO) And she persuaded us.

And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

16 It happened now going of us to (the *no) [place of] prayer, a girl certain having a spirit (Python meeting by *N+kO) us, who gain much was bringing the masters of her by fortune-telling.

And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

17 She (having followed *N+kO) after Paul and us was crying out saying; These men servants of the God Most High are, who proclaim (to you *N+KO) [the] way of salvation.

The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.

18 This then she was continuing for many days. Having been distressed then Paul and having turned to the spirit he said; I command you in (the *k) name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And it came out on [the] same hour.

And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

19 Having seen now the masters of her that was gone the hope of the profit of them, having taken hold of Paul and Silas they dragged [them] into the marketplace before the rulers,

But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,

and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

21 and preach customs that not it is lawful for us to accept nor to practice Romans being.

and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.

And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

24 who an order such (having received *N+kO) threw them into the inner prison and the feet fastened of them in the stocks.

25 Toward now midnight Paul and Silas praying they were singing praises to God; Were listening now to them the prisoners.

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

28 Called out however in a loud voice Paul saying; Not may do to yourself harm; all for we are here.

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Having called for now lights he rushed in and terrified having become he fell down before Paul and Silas,

And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And having brought them out he was saying; Sirs, what of me is necessary to do that I may be saved?

and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said; do believe on the Lord Jesus (Christ *K) and will be saved you yourself and the household of you.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

32 And they spoke to him the word of the (Lord *NK+O) (along with *N+kO) all those in the house of him.

And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.

And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.

35 When day then having come sent the magistrates the officers saying; do release the men those.

But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

36 Reported then the jailer words these to Paul that Have sent the captains that you may be let go; Now therefore having gone out do depart in peace.

And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.

37 But Paul was saying to them; Having beaten us publicly uncondemned men Romans being, they cast [us] into prison, and now secretly us do they throw out? No indeed! Instead having come themselves us they should bring out.

But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.

38 (Reported *N+kO) then to the magistrates the officers declarations these; (and *k) They were afraid (then *no) having heard that Romans they are,

And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;

and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.

And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
