They asked Him saying, Teacher, we know that thou dost speak and teach correctly; and thou dost not receive the face; but thou dost teach the way of God in truth:

if any one speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any one ministers, as from the strength which God supplies; in order that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ; to whom there is glory and power unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

Therefore indeed, being dispersed abroad, they went everywhere preaching the word:

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.

And I, brethren, having come unto you, came not in the excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming unto you the testimony of God.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

For we are not as many, corrupting the word of God: but as of purity, but as from God, we speak in Christ, in the presence of God.

but we lay aside the hidden things of disgrace, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but in the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men, before God.

For our exhortation was not from delusion, nor from impurity, nor in guile:

Go, and standing in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this life.

how I omitted nothing of those things which are profitable, that I should not declare unto you and teach you publicly and from house to house,

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

What I say unto you in the darkness, speak ye in the light: and whatsoever you hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops. Be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but fear ye, rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

preach the word: be instant in season and out of season; convict, exhort, rebuke, with all longsuffering and teaching.

Take heed to yourself and the teaching: continue in these things; for doing this you will indeed save yourself and those who hear you.

Some indeed through envy and strife, and some through good will, are preaching Christ: the latter from divine love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel: the former from self-seeking are proclaiming Christ insincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.

Then what is my reward? that preaching the gospel, I may render the gospel free from charge, in order that I may not use my right in the gospel.

For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil: night and day working, that we should burden no one of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
