7 And [1161] upon [1722] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], when the disciples [3101] came together [4863] to break [2806] bread [740], Paul [3972] preached [1256] unto them [846], ready [3195] to depart [1826] on the morrow [1887]; and [5037] continued [3905] his speech [3056] until [3360] midnight [3317].
25 And [1161] as he [846] reasoned [1256] of [4012] righteousness [1343], temperance [2532] [1466], and [2532] judgment [2917] to come [3195] [1510], Felix [5344] trembled [1096] [1719], and answered [611], Go thy way [4198] for this time [3568]; when [1161] I have [2192] [3335] a convenient season [2540], I will call for [3333] thee [4571].
19 And [1161] he came [2658] to [1519] Ephesus [2181], and [2548] left [2641] them there [847]: but [1161] he himself [846] entered [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864], and reasoned with [1256] the Jews [2453].
4 And [1161] he reasoned [1256] in [1722] the synagogue [4864] [2596] every [3956] sabbath [4521], and [5037] persuaded [3982] the Jews [2453] and [2532] the Greeks [1672].

13 Enter ye in [1525] at [1223] the strait [4728] gate [4439]: for [3754] wide [4116] is the gate [4439], and [2532] broad [2149] is the way [3598], that leadeth [520] to [1519] destruction [684], and [2532] many [4183] there be [1526] which [3588] go in [1525] thereat [1223] [846]:
14 Because [3754] strait [4728] is the gate [4439], and [2532] narrow [2346] is the way [3598], which [3588] leadeth [520] unto [1519] life [2222], and [2532] few [3641] there be [1526] that find [2147] it [846].

17 The same [3778] followed [2628] Paul [3972] and [2532] us [2254], and cried [2896], saying [3004], These [3778] men [444] are [1526] the servants [1401] of the most high [5310] God [2316], which [3748] shew [2605] unto us [2254] the way [3598] of salvation [4991].
