And in those days, the disciples multiplying, there was a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, because their widows were overlooked in the daily service. And the twelve having called the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not pleasing for us, having left the word of God, to serve tables.

And we will persevere in prayer, and the service of the word.

In these days came down prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.

And certain prophets and teachers were in the church being in Antioch; as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

And having sent from Miletus to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church.

And having sent from Miletus to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church. And when they came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I embarked for Asia, how I was with you all the time read more. Serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, having happened to me by the insidious plots of the Jews: how I concealed nothing of things profitable, not to announce to you, and teach you publicly, and in the houses, Testifying to both Jews, and Greeks, repentance towards God, and the faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold, I, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things going to happen to me in it; But that the Holy Spirit testifies in the city, saying that bonds and pressures await me. But the word of none do I make mine own, neither have I my soul highly prized to myself, in order to finish my course with joy, and the service which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the good news of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that all ye shall see my face no more, among whom I passed through, proclaiming the kingdom of God. Wherefore I testify to you in this day, that I pure from the blood of all. For I concealed not to announce to you all the counsel of God. Attend therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit set you inspectors, to feed the church of God, which he acquired by his own blood.

Attend therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit set you inspectors, to feed the church of God, which he acquired by his own blood. For I know this, that there shall come in after my departure grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock. read more. And of yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to tear away disciples after them. Wherefore watch ye, remembering that the space of three years night and day I ceased not reminding each one with tears. And now I commit you, brethren, to God, and to the word of his grace, being able to build up, and give you inheritance among all the consecrated. Silver or gold, or clothing, of none have I eagerly desired. And ye yourselves know, that to my necessities, and to those being with me, these hands served. I shewed you all things, that so being wearied ye must support the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that himself said, It is happy to give rather than receive.

And the morrow, they about Paul having come out, came to Cesarea: and having come to Philip's house, bearer of good news, being of the seven, we remained with him.

And we remaining many days, a certain prophet came down from Judea, by name Agabus.

And having gifts different according to the grace given us, whether prophecy, according to the due proportion of faith; Whether service, in service: whether he teaching, in instruction; read more. Whether he beseeching, in supplication: he imparting, in simplicity; he placed before, in earnestness; he compassionating, in cheerfulness.

Embrace Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are distinguished among the sent, who also have been in Christ before me.

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to announce good news: not in wisdom of word, lest the cross of Christ be made void.

For if I announce the good news, there is no boasting to me: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I announce not the good news!

And whom truly God set in the church, first the sent, second the prophets, third teachers, then powers, then graces of healings, helps, directions, kinds of tongues.

And whom truly God set in the church, first the sent, second the prophets, third teachers, then powers, then graces of healings, helps, directions, kinds of tongues. Not all sent: not all prophets: not all teachers: not all powers:

Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

And he is before all, and all things have been established by him.

If indeed ye remain in the faith, founded and firmly fixed, and not moved aside from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I Paul was a servant;

For these comes the Wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:

Lords, render ye to servants Justice and equality; knowing that ye also have a Lord in the heavens.

Therefore an overseer must be irreprehensible, husband of one wife, sober, of sound mind, well arranged, hospitable, giving instruction;

(And if any know not to preside over his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

And if any for his own, and chiefly for his own household provide not, he has denied the faith, and is worse than the unbelieving. Let not a widow be chosen less than sixty years, having been wife of one man, read more. Testified of in good works; if she have brought up children, if she lodged strangers, if she washed the feet of the holy, if she relieved the pressed, if she followed every good work. And the younger widows reject: for when they conduct themselves arrogantly against Christ, they wish to marry:

Who must be restrained, who subvert whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.

Concerning all things hold thyself a type of good works: in doctrine, integrity, gravity, incorruptibility,

Faithful the word, and I wish for thee to be assured of these things, that they having believed God might turn their thoughts to excel in good works. These things are good and profitable to men. And foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and conflicts pertaining to the law, avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain. read more. A man, a heretic after one and the second admonition, reject; Knowing such to be turned back, and he sins, being self-condemned. When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be earnest to come to me at Nicopolis: for there have I chosen to pass the winter. Send forward zealously Zenas pertaining to the law, and Apollos, that nothing fail them.

Is any sick among you let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord:
