⁸ And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

⁸ For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.

¹² And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

² How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
