Acts 6:2

Then the twelve calling the multitude of the disciples together, said, It is not right, that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

But Peter and John answering, said to them, Whether it be righteous in the sight of God, to obey you rather than God, judge ye.

What is it therefore? The multitude must needs come together; for they will hear that thou art come.

For it seemeth to me unreasonable, to send a prisoner, and not to signify also the crimes alledged against him.

No man that warreth intangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath inlisted him.
