For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”

I share Israel’s hope. That is why I am held with this chain. So I have asked to see you and talk with you.”

For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.”

I asked you to come here today so we could get acquainted and so I could explain to you that I am bound with this chain because I believe that the hope of Israel— the Messiah— has already come.”

For this reason I’ve asked to see you and speak to you. In fact, it is for the hope of Israel that I’m wearing this chain.”

For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, since I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel.”

For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with me: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

For this reason I’ve asked to see you and speak to you. In fact, it is for the hope of Israel that I’m wearing this chain.”

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see[ you], and to speak with[ you]: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

So for this reason I have asked to see you and speak with you, for I am bound with this chain because of the hope of Israel.”

Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!

Paul said,“ I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,

in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.

But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council,“ Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”

Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand: remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.

I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,

whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.

After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them,“ I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
