Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Paul Frequently Speaks To Felix, Who Hopes To Get Money From Paul
24 And after some days, Felix, having arrived with Drusilla[a] his own wife (she being a Jew), sent for Paul and listened-to him concerning faith in Christ Jesus. 25 But while he was speaking about righteousness, self-control and the coming judgment, Felix, having become afraid, responded, “As to the present, go. And having received an opportunity, I will summon you”— 26 at the same time also hoping that money would be given to him by Paul. Therefore indeed, sending for him very-frequently, he was conversing with him.
