but Paul chose Silas and set out, commended ¹  to the grace of the Lord by the brothers and sisters. ² 

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying ¹  and singing hymns to God, ²  and the rest of ³  the prisoners were listening to them.

But Paul called out loudly, ¹  “Do not harm yourself, ²  for we are all here!”

Calling for lights, the jailer ¹  rushed in and fell down ²  trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.

They all began to weep loudly, ¹  and hugged ²  Paul and kissed him, ³ 

The next day Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were there. ¹ 

So the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, ¹  took ²  Paul and brought him to Antipatris ³  during the night.

When the horsemen ¹  came to Caesarea ²  and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented ³  Paul to him.

So the chief priests and the most prominent men ¹  of the Jews brought formal charges ²  against Paul to him.

Then Festus ¹  replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, ²  and he himself intended to go there ³  shortly.

But Paul replied, ¹  “I have not lost my mind, most excellent Festus, ²  but am speaking ³  true and rational ⁴  words.

But the centurion ¹  was more convinced ²  by the captain ³  and the ship’s owner than by what Paul said. ⁴ 

When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live ¹  by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.

For whenever someone says, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” are you not merely human? ¹ 

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. Everything belongs to you,

Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all!

I, Paul, write this greeting by my own hand. ¹  Remember my chains. ²  Grace be with you. ³ 

For we wanted to come to you (I, Paul, in fact tried again and again) ¹  but Satan thwarted us.

From Paul ¹  and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians ²  in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is how I write in every letter. ¹
