And not only so, but let us also rejoice in tribulation; knowing that tribulation works out endurance; and endurance, approval; and approval, hope: and hope makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.
If I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not divine love, I have become a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not divine love, I am nothing. And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I may give my body that I shall be burnt, and have not divine love, I am profited as to nothing. read more.
Divine love suffers long; divine love is kind; divine love envies not; does not make a display of itself, is not puffed up, does not behave itself uncomely, seeks not its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but it rejoices in the truth; it bears all things, it believes all things, it hopes all things, it endures all things. Divine love never falls: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.

And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge; and to knowledge holiness; and to holiness patience; and patience, godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love. read more.
For these things, being in you and overflowing, render you neither barren nor unfruitful in the perfect knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; for he unto whom these things are not present is blind, not seeing afar off, having received the forgetfulness of his purgation from his old sins.

it seemed good to us, being of one accord, having chosen men to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have imperiled their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, themselves also proclaiming the same things by speech. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no more burden than these necessary things, to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which keeping yourselves, you will do well. Fare ye well. Then indeed they, having been sent away, came down into Antioch, and convening the multitude, they delivered the letter. And having read it, they rejoiced over the consolation. Both Judas and Silas, themselves also being prophets, exhorted the brethren with elaborate speech, and strengthened them;

But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the high priest, asked from him letters to Damascus against the synagogues, in order that if he should find any being of the way, both men and women, he might lead them bound to Jerusalem. And it came to pass, while prosecuting the journey he drew near to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him; read more.
and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But stand up, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behooves thee to do. And the men journeying along with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no one. And Saul arose from the ground; and his eyes being open, he saw nothing: but leading him by the hand, they led him into Damascus; and he was three days not seeing, neither did he eat nor drink. And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said to him, Arising, go to the street which is called Straight, and seek a Tarsean, by name Saul, in the house of Judas; for, behold, he is praying, and he saw a man, Ananias by name, coming in, and putting his hands on him, in order that he may look up. And Ananias responded, Lord I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem: and he here has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name. And the Lord said to him, Go: because he is a vessel of election to me, to bear my name both before the Gentiles, and kings, and sons of Israel: for I will show him how many things it behooves him to suffer for my name's sake. And Ananias departed, and came into the house: and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, that appeared to you in the way in which thou didst come, hath sent me, that thou mayest look up, and he filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as scales: and he looked up; and having stood up, was baptized, and having received food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples who were in Damascus some days; and immediately he was preaching Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. And all those hearing were astonished, and continued to say, Is not this the one laying waste those calling on this name in Jerusalem? and has come hither for this, that he may lead them bound to the chief priests. And Saul continued to be the more filled up with dynamite, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that Jesus is the Christ. And when many days were being filled up, the Jews issued a verdict to kill him: but their plot was made known to Saul. And they were keeping the gates both day and night in order that they might kill him: and his disciples taking him, let him down through the wall in the night, lowering him in a basket. And arriving in Jerusalem, he was endeavoring to join himself to the disciples: and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. But Barnabas taking him, led him to the apostles, and related to them how he saw the Lord on the way, and that He spoke to him, and how he preached boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus. And he was with them going in and coming out in Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord; and he was speaking and arguing against the Hellenists, and they undertook to kill him. And the brethren, taking cognizance, led him to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus. Then indeed the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified and progressing in the fear of the Lord; and was being multiplied by the exhortation of the Holy Ghost.
