and as he belonged to the same trade he stayed with them and they all worked together. (They were workers in leather by trade.)

Salute Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus,

Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from my presence, you workers of iniquity.'

And you, my true comrade, lend a hand to these women, I beg of you; they have fought at my side in the active service of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow-workers.

That is to say, God has set people within the church to be first of all apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, and speakers in 'tongues' of various kinds.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?

The good man produces good from the good stored in his heart, and the evil man evil from his evil: for a man's mouth utters what his heart is full of.

The good man brings good out of his good store, and the evil man brings evil out of his store of evil.

Never pay back evil for evil to anyone; aim to be above reproach in the eyes of all;

Do not let evil get the better of you; get the better of evil by doing good.

see that none of you pays back evil for evil, but always aim at what is kind to one another and to all the world;

never paying back evil for evil, never reviling when you are reviled, but on the contrary blessing. For this is your vocation, to bless and to inherit blessing;

we are not to be like Cain, who belonged to the evil One and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's just.

Beloved, do not imitate evil but good; he who does good belongs to God, he who does evil has never seen God.
