Neither{G2532}{G3756} is there{G2076}{(G5748)} salvation{G4991} in{G1722} any{G3762} other{G243}: for{G1063} there is{G2076}{(G5748)} none{G3777} other{G2087} name{G3686} under{G5259} heaven{G3772} given{G1325}{(G5772)} among{G1722} men{G444}, whereby{G1722}{G3739} we{G2248} must{G1163}{(G5748)} be saved{G4982}{(G5683)}.

Verse 16

Saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, What{G5101} shall we do{G4160}{(G5692)} to these{G5125} men{G444}? for{G1063} that{G3754} indeed{G3303} a notable{G1110} miracle{G4592} hath been done{G1096}{(G5754)} by{G1223} them{G846} is manifest{G5318} to all them{G3956} that dwell{G2730}{(G5723)} in Jerusalem{G2419}; and{G2532} we cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} deny{G720}{(G5664)} it.
