Acts 13:43-48

43NowG1161 when the meeting of the synagogueG4864 had brokenG3089 up, manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 and of the 1God-fearingG4576 23proselytesG4339 followedG190 PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921, whoG3748, speakingG4354 to them, were urgingG3982 them to continueG4357 in 4the graceG5485 of GodG2316.

44The nextG2064 5SabbathG4521 nearlyG4975 the wholeG3956 cityG4172 assembledG4863 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of 6the LordG2316. 45But when 7the JewsG2453 sawG3708 the crowdsG3793, they were filledG4092 with jealousyG2205 and began contradictingG483 the thingsG2980 spokenG2980 by PaulG3972, and were 8blasphemingG987. 46PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921 spokeG3955 out boldlyG3955 and saidG3004, “It was necessaryG316 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 be spokenG2980 to you 9firstG4413; sinceG1894 you repudiateG683 it and judgeG2919 yourselvesG1438 unworthyG3756G514 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, beholdG2400, 10we are turningG4762 to the GentilesG1484. 47For soG3779 the LordG2962 has commandedG1781 us, ‘11I have placedG5087 You as a 12lightG5457 for the GentilesG1484, That You may 13bringG1510G1519 salvationG4991 to the endG2078 of the earthG1093.’”

48When the GentilesG1484 heardG191 this, they began rejoicingG5463 and glorifyingG1392 14the wordG3056 of 15the LordG2962; and as manyG3745 as 16had beenG1510 appointedG5021 to eternalG166 lifeG2222 believedG4100.
