Acts 6:2

And the twelve calling to them the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not pleasing that we, leaving the word of God, serve tables.

And Peter and John responding said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than God, judge ye;

for it seems to me to be unreasonable, sending a prisoner, and not to signify charges against him.

No one operating as a soldier is entangled with the affairs of life; in order that he may please his commander.
