Jesus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but gave Himself over to Him who judges righteously;

not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, in order that you may inherit blessing.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

we accept it always and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.

it seemed good to me also, having closely followed all things from the very first, to write it to you in orderly fashion, most excellent Theophilus,

holding fast the faithful Word according to the teaching, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,

sound speech that cannot be condemned, that he who is in opposition may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
