按照起初亲眼看见的传道人所传给我们的，编著成书；

就是照着从起初以来的目击者和做福音仆人的那些人所传给我们的，

按照起初親眼看見的傳道人所傳給我們的，編著成書；

照那些從起初親自看見又在這道上當差事者所傳給我們的。

就是照著從起初以來的目擊者和做福音僕人的那些人所傳給我們的，

just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

Reports of these things were handed down to us. There were people who saw these things for themselves from the beginning. They saw them and then passed the word on.

just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,

They used the eyewitness reports circulating among us from the early disciples.

just as the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed them down to us.

just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us,

even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,

just as the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed them down to us.

Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

like the accounts passed on to us by those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning.

even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

and you are testifying as well, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you as a servant and a witness not only to the things in which you have seen Me, but also to the things in which I will appear to you,

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Therefore, I urge elders among you, as your fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and one who is also a fellow partaker of the glory that is to be revealed:

Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us—beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us— one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth.”

To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of things regarding the kingdom of God.

We are witnesses of all the things that He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross.God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He be revealed,not to all the people, but to witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

You are witnesses of these things.

This is the way any person is to regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

The sower sows the word.

if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am supplementing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of His body, which is the church.I was made a minister of this church according to the commission from God granted to me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,

to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers,for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ;

of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,
