Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,

serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.“ Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about; for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News.

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said,“ Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

Tell Archippus,“ Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
