²⁶ And from there they went by ship to Antioch, where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had not done.

⁴⁰ But Paul took Silas and went away with the blessing of the brothers.

¹⁹ Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.

⁶ Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God:

⁷ For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

⁸ So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith.

⁵ But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

⁶ For I am even now being offered, and my end is near.

⁷ I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

⁸ From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

² Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

¹⁷ Say to Archippus, See that you do the work which the Lord has given you to do.

²⁸ Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;

²⁵ Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,

¹¹ But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.

¹⁹ By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

³² And now, I give you into the care of God and the word of his grace, which is able to make you strong and to give you your heritage among all the saints.

³⁰ So they, being sent away, came down to Antioch, and having got the people together, they gave them the letter.

²² Then it seemed good to the Apostles and the rulers and all the church, to send men from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas, named Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers:

²³ And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.

¹ Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.

² And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.

³ Then, after prayer and going without food they put their hands on them, and sent them away.

²⁶ And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.
