Acts 6:2

And the twelve calling the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God to serve tables.

But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge;

What then is [to be done]? They will hear everywhere that you have come.

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

No one who serves as a soldier is involved in the business of life, that he may please him who has employed him as a soldier.
