Porém tendo esperado muito tempo e vendo que nada de anormal lhe succedia, mudando de parecer, diziam que era elle um deus.

7 Ora na vizinhança daquelle logar havia algumas terras pertencentes ao homem principal da ilha, chamado Publio, o qual nos recebeu e hospedou com muita bondade por tres dias. 8 Estando doente de cama com febre e dysenteria o pae de Publio, Paulo foi visital-o e, tendo feito oração, impoz-lhe as mãos e o curou. 9 Feito isto, os outros doentes da ilha vinham tambem e eram curados, 10 e estes nos distinguiram com muitas honras e, ao partirmos, pozeram a bordo o que nos era necessario.

11 No fim de tres mezes fizemo-nos ao mar em um navio de Alexandria, que havia invernado na ilha, o qual tinha por insignia Castor e Pollux. 12 E tocando em Syracusa, ficámos ahi tres dias, 13 donde borde

the fire, and took no harm. 6 But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius; who received us, and entertained us three days courteously. 8 And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him. 9 And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured: 10 who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.

11 And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was 3 The Twin Brothers. 12 And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. 13 And from thence

jando, chegámos a Rhegio. No dia seguinte soprou o vento sul, e chegámos em dois dias a Puteoli; 14 onde tendo achado alguns irmãos, estes nos rogaram que ficassemos com elles sete dias; e assim fomos a Roma. 15 E tendo ahi os irmãos sabido noticias nossas, vieram ao nosso encontro até a Praça de Appio e as Tres Vendas, e Paulo, quando os viu, deu graças a Deus e cobrou animo.

16 Quando chegámos em Roma1, permittiu-se a Paulo que ficasse em um aposento particular com o soldado que o guardava.

we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli; 14 where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days and so we came to Rome. 15 And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

16 And when we entered into Rome, 2 Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him.

1 Go thou unto this people, and say,

By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross,

And their ears are dull of hearing,

And their eyes they have
closed;

Lest haply they should per-
ceive with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their
heart,

And should turn again,

And I should heal them. 28 Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear.2

30 And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto him, 31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him.

EPISTOLA DE S. PAULO AOS

ROMANOS.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO THE

ROMANS

Paulo, servo de Christo Jesus, chamado para ser apostolo, separado para o Evangelho de Deus, 2 que elle antes prometteu pelos seus prophetas nas Santas Escripturas, 3 acerca de seu Filho (que veiu da descendencia de David quanto á carne, 4 e que foi com poder declarado Filho de Deus quanto ao espirito de santidade, pela resurreição dos mortos), Jesus Christo nosso Senhor, 5 pelo qual recebemos a graça e o apostolado por amor do seu nome, para obediencia da fé em todas as naçoes, 6 entre as quaes sois tambem vós chamados para pertencerdes a Jesus Christo; 7 a todos os que estão em Roma, queridos de Deus, chamados para serem santos: Graça a vós e paz da parte de Deus nosso Pae e da do Senhor Jesus Christo.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2 which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 who was 3 declared to be the Son of God 4 with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection 5 from the dead; even Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake; 6 among whom are ye also, called to be Jesus Christ's: 7 to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, 8 that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the 2 gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers 10 making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered " by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 12 that is, that I with you may be comforted 10 in

8 Primeiramente dou graças ao meu Deus mediante Jesus Christo por todos vós, porque em todo o mundo é divulgada a vossa fé. 9 Pois Deus, a quem sirvo em meu espirito no Evangelho de seu Filho, é minha testemunha de como incessantemente faço menção de vós em todas as minhas orações, 10 supplicando que se me abra afinal de qualquer modo um caminho favoravel, sendo esta a vontade de Deus, para ir ter comvosco. 11 Porque tenho grande desejo de ver-vos, para vos communicar algum dom espiritual, afim de que sejaes firmados; 12 isto é, para que em vós seja eu consolado juntamente comvosco pela 3 Gr. determined. 4 Or, in 5 Or, of the dead

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; 19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; & that they may be without excuse: 21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
