Afflictions made beneficial » In furthering the gospel
But Saul was ravaging the church, entering from house to house. Dragging both men and women, he gave them over to prison.
Indeed therefore those who were scattered abroad from the persecution that occurred against Stephen passed through as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews only. And some of them were men, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who, having come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching good-news, the Lord Jesus. And the hand of Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
But I want you to know, brothers, that the things in respect to me have come more for the advancement of the good-news,
within which I suffer evil to the point of bonds as an evildoer, but the word of God is not bound.
At my first defense no man came with me, but all forsook me. May it not be reckoned to them. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.
