And Saul was well pleased with his execution. For at that time there was a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

But Saul made havock of the church, entring into the houses, and dragging out men and women, committed them to prison.

And so it is written, "The first man Adam was made a living soul." But the last Adam is an enlivening spirit.

But I call God to witness on my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet to Corinth:

and not only by his coming, but especially by the consolation wherewith he was comforted on your account, acquainting us with your earnest desire towards us, your grief, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced greatly.

For behold this very thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly manner, what diligence it wrought in you! yea, what apology, what indignation, what fear, what earnest desire, what zeal, what revenge! by all which ye have shewn yourselves to be clear in the affair.

for I know your readiness of mind, which I boast of concerning you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath excited many.

Only behave worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of you, that ye stand firm in one Spirit, striving together as with one soul for the saith of the gospel;

as to zeal persecuting the church, as to the righteousness of the law blameless: but those things,

Dearly beloved, I exhort you as strangers and sojourners here, to abstain from carnal lusts, which war against the soul:
