But you rejected ¹  the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you.

But many of those who had listened to ¹  the message ²  believed, and the number of the men ³  came to about five thousand.

Now a man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.

More and more believers in the Lord were added to their number, ¹  crowds of both men and women.

Then he said to the council, ¹  “Men of Israel, ²  pay close attention to ³  what you are about to do to these men.

Some ¹  devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation ²  over him. ³ 

(Now the men ¹  who were traveling with him stood there speechless, ²  because they heard the voice but saw no one.) ³ 

Now there was a man in Caesarea ¹  named Cornelius, a centurion ²  of what was known as the Italian Cohort. ³ 

Now ¹  send men to Joppa ²  and summon a man named Simon, ³  who is called Peter.

At that very moment, ¹  three men sent to me from Caesarea ²  approached ³  the house where we were staying. ⁴ 

Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this one ¹  forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

After they stopped speaking, ¹  James replied, ²  “Brothers, listen to me.

Therefore many of them believed, along with quite a few ¹  prominent ²  Greek women and men.

For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers ¹  nor blasphemers of our goddess. ² 

So do what ¹  we tell you: We have four men ²  who have taken ³  a vow; ⁴ 

“Brothers and fathers, listen to my defense ¹  that I now ²  make to you.”

I ¹  persecuted this Way ²  even to the point of death, ³  tying up ⁴  both men and women and putting ⁵  them in prison,

Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God ¹  that it will be just as I have been told.

To the married I give this command – not I, but the Lord ¹  – a wife should not divorce a husband

Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered disgraces his head.
