Acts 6:2

And the twelve, having called the multitude of the disciples to them, said, "It is not proper that we, leaving the word of God, should serve tables;

But Peter and John, answering, said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you, rather than to God, judge ye;

What is it, therefore? They will certainly hear that you have come.

for it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to signify also the charges against him."

No one, serving as a soldier, entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
