multitudes to stone Paul. He arose and departed for Derbe, with Barnabas. They
made many disciples there and then they pass Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch and
through divers churches, confirming the disciples in faith and patience, appointing
elders in every church. Returning to Antioch, they report what God had done with
them.
Acts chapter 15
Great arises over circumcision. The apostles consult about it and send their
determination, by letters to the churches, that Gentiles are part of the Church and
that circumcision will not be required of them. It is received well by all the
brethren. Paul and Barnabas, thinking to visit the brethren together, disagree
over John Mark, and travel different ways.

Acts chapter 16

around and deliver the apostles decree. They were call by the Spirit from one
country to Macedonia. Lydia gets saved. He casts out a spirit of divination; He and
Silas are whipped and imprisoned are whipped for this. While there, the prison

they use their Roman citizen to protest the beatings and imprisonment.

he comes to Athens, and disputes and preaches the living God, to them unknown;
some mock, many are converted unto Christ.
Acts chapter 18
Paul labors with his hands, and preaches at Corinth to the Gentiles. The Lord

dismissed. Afterwards passing from city to city, he strengthens the disciples.
Apollos, being more perfectly instructed by Aquila and Priscilla, preaches Christ
with great efficacy.
Acts chapter 19
The Holy Ghost is given by Paul's hands. The Jews blaspheme his doctrine, which
is confirmed by miracles. The Jewish exorcists, are beaten by the devil. Conjuring
books are burnt. Demetrius, for love of gain, raises an uproar against Paul which is
appeased by the town clerk.
Acts chapter 20
Paul goes to Macedonia, and thence to Troas. He celebrates the Lord's supper,
and preaches. Eutychus having fallen down dead is raised to life. He continues his
travels and at Miletum he calls the elders together, tells them what shall befall to
himself, commits God's flock to them, warns them of false teachers, commends
them to God, prays with them, and departs.

Acts chapter 21

chief captain is rescued. He requests to speak and is permitted to.
Acts chapter 22
Paul gives his testimony of how he was saved and tells about called to his
apostleship. At the very mentioning of the Gentiles the people uproar on him. He
would have been scourged but claiming the privilege of a Roman, saves him.
Acts chapter 23
As Paul pleads his cause, Ananias commands them to smite him. Paul gives
testimony pointing to his Pharisee background and then dissension among his
accusers. God encourages him and says he will bear witness in Rome. The Jews'
laying waiting to kill Paul. This is declared unto the chief captain who sends him to
Felix the governor.
Acts chapter 24
Paul being, accused by Tertullus the orator, answers for his life and doctrine. He
preaches Christ to the governor and his wife. The governor hopes for a bribe, but
in vain. At last, going out of his office, he leaves Paul in prison.
Acts chapter 25
The Jews accuse Paul before Festus. He answers for himself, and appeals unto
Caesar. Afterwards Festus opens his matter to King Agrippa and he is brought
forth. Festus clears him of having done anything worthy of death.
Acts chapter 26
Ac 26:1-11. Paul gives King Agrippa his testimony from childhood, being a
Pharisee, persecutor of the Church and how miraculously he was converted, and
called to his apostleship. Festus charges him with being mad but Paul says King

The whole company pronounce him innocent but cant release him since he
appealed to Caesar.

Acts chapter 27
Ac 27:1-9. Paul shipping towards Rome, foretells of the danger of the voyage,
but is not believed. They are tossed to and fro with tempest and suffer shipwreck
yet all come safe to land.

viper bite his hand but he does get hurts. He heals many diseases in the island. He

persuaded, and some believed not. Yet remains on house arrest and he preaches
there two years.
Romans chapter 1
Paul commends his calling to be an apostle and his desire to come to them. He
notes what his gospel is. He notes Gods wrath against sin. Paul notes what were
the sins of the gentiles.
Romans chapter 2
Ro 2:1-5. No excuse for sin whether you are a Jew or Gentile. Nothing can
escape from Gods Judgment.
Romans chapter 3
The Jews' advantage they had the words of God. Which they have not lost; The
law convicts all of sin, therefore no flesh is justified by the law; but all, without
difference. Salvation is by faith, only and yet the law is not abolished.
Romans chapter 4
Abraham's faith was imputed to him for righteousness. The same was true of
David. Abraham, before he was circumcised, by faith alone, he and his seed
received the promise. He is the father of all that believe. Our faith also shall be
imputed to us for righteousness.
Romans chapter 5
Being justified by faith, we have peace with God and joy in our hope; Since we
were reconciled by his blood, when we were enemies, we shall much more be

saved, being reconciled, through him and by his life. As sin and death came by
one man Adam. So much more righteousness and life came by Jesus Christ.
Where sin abounded, grace did super abound.
Romans chapter 6
We may not live in sin, for we are dead unto it as appears by our baptism. Present
your members to God and dont let sin reign anymore; Having being set free we
are to yield ourselves to the service of righteousness; as slaves of God. The
contrast is the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life through
Christ.
Romans chapter 7
No law hath power over a man longer than he lives. But we are dead to the law.
Yet law is not sin, but holy, just and good; Sin takes occasion by the
commandment, deceiving and killing by it. Paul acknowledges that he is grieved
that he cannot keep the Law. But is delivered from this body of by Jesus Christ.
Romans chapter 8
They that are in Christ, are free from condemnation. Harm comes from a mind set
on the flesh; Living according to Spirit, you will live in freedom. While on earth we
suffer, but then there will be a glorious deliverance until all things long for
conformity to the image of Christ. Nothing can separate from this love.
Romans chapter 9
Paul has great sorry for the Jews. All of Abraham not of the promise. God's
sovereignty. The calling of the Gentiles and rejecting of the Jews, foretold. The
cause of the Jews' stumbling trying to attain righteousness through the law.
Romans chapter 10
The Scripture shows the difference between the righteousness of the law, and
that of faith; and that all, both Jew and Gentile, that believe, shall not be
confounded; And that the Gentiles shall receive the word and believe. Israel was
not ignorant of these things.
Romans chapter 11

God has not cast off all Israel. Some were elected, though the rest were
hardened. There is hope of their conversion. The Gentiles may not exult over
them for there is a promise of their salvation. God's judgments are unsearchable.
Romans chapter 12
God's mercies must move us to yield our bodies to God. No man must think too
well of himself; but everyone attends on that calling (e.g. spiritual giftedness)
wherein he is placed. Our service is to be govern by love. Revenge is especially
forbidden as the Lord will repay all things.
Romans chapter 13
We are to be subject to the government leaders. Love is the fulfilling of the law.
Gluttony and drunkenness, and the works of darkness, are out of season as we
should put on Christ.
Romans chapter 14
Men may not contemn nor condemn one another for things indifferent by not
letting your liberties cause your brother to stumble. Things are not unclean in and
of themselves, but love should govern how we conduct ourselves before other
believers. Pursue the things which make for peace and the things that may edify
another.
Romans chapter 15
The strong must bear with the weak, we must not please ourselves; For Christ did
not so but receive one another, as Christ did us all - both Jews and Gentiles; Paul
excuses his writing and promises to see them; he and requests their prayers.
Romans chapter 16
Paul wishes the brethren to greet many and advises them to take heed of those
which cause dissension and offences; He give greets for others with him and ends
with a Benediction.
1 Corinthians chapter 1
After his salutation and thanksgiving, Paul exhorts them to unity and reproves
their dissensions. He notes that God destroys the wisdom of the wise by the

foolishness of preaching; God has not called according to the flesh - the wise,
mighty, and noble; but he has chosen the foolish, weak, and men of no account.
1 Corinthians chapter 2
He declares that his preaching, though it brings not excellency of speech, or of
human wisdom, yet consists in the power of God (as it centers on Christ and him
crucified). This so far excels the wisdom of this world, and human sense, that the
natural man cannot understand it.
1 Corinthians chapter 3
Corinthians are carnal and can only be fed with Milk. This is apparent through the
envy, strife, division among the brother. He that plants and he that waters, are
nothing. Be faithful to your own calling. We are ministers, who are God's fellowworkmen. Christ the only foundation and bema seat will show if we will receive
an award for the things we have for God or those. Men the temples of God, which
must be kept holy. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
1 Corinthians chapter 4
In what account the ministers ought to be had. We have nothing which we have
not received. The apostles are spectacles to the world, angels, and men - the filth
and off scouring of the world; Yet our fathers in Christ whom we ought to follow.
1 Corinthians chapter 5
The incestuous person is cause rather of shame on to them than of rejoicing. The
old leaven is to be purged out. Hienous offenders are to be shamed and avoided.
1 Corinthians chapter 6
The Corinthians must not vex their brethren, in going to law with them; especially
under infidels. The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Our bodies
are the members of Christ, and temples of the Holy Ghost: they must not
therefore be defiled.
1 Corinthians chapter 7
He discusses marriage; explaining it to be a remedy against fornication, and that
the bond thereof ought not lightly to be dissolved. Every man must be content
with his situation. Singleness is to be embraced if possible or marry, if needed.

1 Corinthians chapter 8
They were to abstain from meats offered to idols. We must not abuse our
Christian liberty, to the offence of our brethren but must bridle our knowledge
with love.
1 Corinthians chapter 9
He shows his liberty and notes that the minister ought to live by the Gospel, yet
that himself has of his own accord abstained to be either chargeable unto them or
offensive unto any, in matters indifferent. Our life is like unto a race.
1 Corinthians chapter 10
The sacraments of the Jews are types of ours and their punishments, examples for
us. We must flee from idolatry. We must not make the Lord's table the table of
devils and in things indifferent we must have regard of our brethren.
1 Corinthians chapter 11
He reproves them because in holy assemblies their men prayed with their heads
covered and women with their heads uncovered and because generally their
meetings were not for the better, but for the worse; As they profaning the Lord's
supper instead of examining that they were taking it in the correct manner.
1 Corinthians chapter 12
Paul discusses spiritual gifts, how the Corinthians are ignorant of and need
discernment regarding. He notes their source should be Christ and their test
should be do they glorify Him. He notes they are diverse, yet they are to profit all.
They are diversely bestowed and yet proportional like the members of a natural
body which has mutual decency, service, and support of itself.
1 Corinthians chapter 13
All gifts, no matter how excellent they are, are nothing worth without love, which
is greater than hope and faith.
1 Corinthians chapter 14
Prophecy is commended and preferred before speaking with tongues. Illustrated
by a comparison drawn from musical instruments. The goal of both - edification.

The true use of each is taught and as well as the abuse noted. Women are
forbidden to speak in church.
1 Corinthians chapter 15
By Christ's resurrection, he proves the necessity of our resurrection, and this is
against those who deny the resurrection of the body. The fruit, and the manner
thereof; and of the changing of them that shall be found alive at the last day.
1 Corinthians chapter 16
He exhorts them to relieve the want of the brethren at Jerusalem. Commends
Timothy; He gives some friendly admonitions and concludes his epistle with
divers salutations.
2 Corinthians chapter 1
Paul salutes the Corinthians; he encourages them against troubles, by the
comforts and deliverances which God had given him, as in all his afflictions, so
particularly in his late danger in Asia. And calling both his own conscience and
theirs to witness of his sincere manner of preaching the immutable truth of the
gospel, he excuses his not coming to them, as proceeding not of lightness, but of
his lenity towards them.
2 Corinthians chapter 2
Having explain the reason why he did come to them, he requires them to forgive
and to comfort the excommunicated brother. He also gives a ministry update,
declaring why he departed from Troas to Macedonia,
and the success which
God gave to his preaching in all places.
2 Corinthians chapter 3
So that their false teachers don't charge him with vain glory, he shows the faith
and graces of the Corinthians to be a sufficient commendation of his ministry.
Comparing between the ministers of the law and of the gospel, he proves that his
ministry is so far the more excellent, as the gospel of life and liberty is more
glorious than the law of condemnation.
2 Corinthians chapter 4

He declares how he has used all sincerity and faithful diligence in preaching the
gospel and how the troubles and persecutions which he daily endured for the
same contribute to the praise of God's power, to the benefit of the Church, and
to the apostle's own eternal glory.
2 Corinthians chapter 5
He explains that in his assured hope of immortal glory and in expectation of it,
and of the general judgment, he labors to keep a good conscience
not that he
may boast in himself, but as being one that has received life from Christ, who
endeavors to live as a new creature to Christ only and by his ministry of
reconciliation, to reconcile others also in Christ to God.
2 Corinthians chapter 6
That he has approved himself a faithful minister of Christ by his exhortations, and
by integrity of life, and by patient enduring all kinds of affliction and disgrace for
the gospel. Of which he speaks the more boldly amongst them because his heart
is open to them, and he expects the like affection from them again; He exhorted
them to flee the society and pollutions of idolaters, since they are temples of the
living God.
2 Corinthians chapter 7
He exhorts them to purity of life and to bear affection as he does to them. He
declares what comfort he took in his afflictions by the report which Titus gave of
their godly sorrow, which his former epistle had work in them and of their lovingkindness and obedience toward Titus, answerable to his former boastings of
them.
2 Corinthians chapter 8
He stirs them up to a liberal giving for the poor saints at Jerusalem, by the
example of the Macedonians, by commendation of their former forwardness, by
the example of Christ, and by the spiritual profit that shall come back themselves
as a result. He commended to them the integrity and willingness of Titus, and
those other brethren, who on his request, exhortation, and commendation, were
purposely come to them for this business.
2 Corinthians chapter 9

He yields the reason why, though he knew their forwardness, yet he sent Titus
and his brethren beforehand and he proceeds in stirring them up to a bountiful
giving, as being but a kind of sowing of seed, which shall return a great increase to
them, and occasion a great sacrifice of thanksgivings unto God.
2 Corinthians chapter 10
Against the false apostles, who disgraced the weakness of his person and bodily
presence, he shows the spiritual might and authority with which he was armed
against all adverse powers assuring them that at his coming he will be found as
mighty in word as he is now in writing, being absent and with emotional draining
them for reaching out themselves beyond their compass, and vaunting
themselves of other men's labors.
2 Corinthians chapter 11
Out of his jealousy over the Corinthians, who seemed to make more account of
the false apostles than of him, he enters into a forced commendation of himself,
of his equality with the chief apostles,
of his preaching the gospel to
them freely, and without any charge to them. Showing that he was not inferior
to those deceitful workers in any legal right and in the service of Christ, and in all
kinds of sufferings for his ministry, far superior.
2 Corinthians chapter 12
Paul commend his apostleship, that though he might glory of his wonderful
revelations, yet he rather chooses to glory of his infirmities; he
blames
them for forcing him to this vain boasting. He promises to come to them again;
but yet altogether in the affection of a father;
although he fears he shall to
his grief find many offenders, and public disorders there.
2 Corinthians chapter 13
He threatens severity, and the power of his apostleship, against obstinate sinners.
And, advising them to a trial of their faith and to a reformation of their
sins before his coming, he concludes his epistle with a general exhortation and a
prayer.

them and shows that we are the sons of Abraham by the freewoman.

He hopes to send Timothy to them, and Epaphroditus
also.
Philippians chapter 3
He warns them to beware of the false teachers of the circumcision, explaining
that himself has greater cause than they to trust in the righteousness of the law,

We are to rejoice under the cross and to ask patience of God; and in our trials not

truly religious (in devote practice).

It is not agreeable to Christian profession to regard the rich, and to despise the
poor brethren rather we are to be loving and merciful and not to boast of faith
where no deeds are which is but a dead faith the faith of the devils; not of
Abraham; nor Rahab.
James chapter 3
We are not rashly or arrogantly to reprove others but rather to bridle the tongue,
a little member, but a powerful instrument of much good, and great harm. They
who are truly wise are mild and peaceable without envying and strife.
James chapter 4
We are to strive against covetousness, intemperance, pride, detraction and rash
judgment of others and not to be confident in the good success of worldly
business, but mindful ever of the uncertainty of this life, to commit ourselves and
all our affairs to God's providence.
James chapter 5
Wicked rich men are to fear God's vengeance. We ought to be patient in
afflictions, after the example of the prophets, and Job; to forbear swearing; to
pray in adversity, to sing in prosperity; to acknowledge mutually our several
faults, to pray one for another; and to reduce a straying brother to the truth.
