They wrote this letter by them: The apostles, the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.

it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.

And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,

And all the people took note of it, and it was good in their eyes, even as whatever the king had done was good in the eyes of all the people.

And the matter was right in the eyes of the king and all the assembly.

Also the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king and the rulers, at the Word of Jehovah.

We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth.

Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.

And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth.

But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the rulers.

And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.

And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas.

Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go as though toward the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
