9:28	And he was with them, entering and departing Jerusalem, and acting faithfully in the name of the Lord.
9:29	He also was speaking with the Gentiles and disputing with the Greeks. But they were seeking to kill him.
9:30	And when the brothers had realized this, they brought him to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
9:31	Svo sannarlega, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.

First Letter of John 3: 18-24

3:18	My little sons, let us not love in words only, but in works and in truth.
3:19	Á þennan hátt, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight.
3:20	For even if our heart reproaches us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.
3:21	Most beloved, if our heart does not reproach us, we can have confidence toward God;
3:22	and whatever we shall request of him, we shall receive from him. For we keep his commandments, and we do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
3:23	And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
3:24	And those who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And we know that he abides in us by this: by the Spirit, whom he has given to us.

Jón 15: 1- 8

15:1	“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
15:2	Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he will take away. And each one that does bear fruit, he will cleanse, so that it may bring forth more fruit.
15:3	You are clean now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.
15:4	Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also are you unable, unless you abide in me.
15:5	I am the vine; þið eruð greinarnar. Whoever abides in me, og ég í honum, bears much fruit. For without me, you are able to do nothing.
15:6	If anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns.
15:7	If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
15:8	In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.

Gerðir 13: 44- 52

13:44	Samt sannarlega, næsta hvíldardag, næstum öll borgin kom saman til að heyra orð Guðs.
13:45	Svo gyðingarnir, að sjá mannfjöldann, fylltust öfund, og þeir, guðlast, stangaðist á við það sem Páll sagði.
13:46	Þá sögðu Páll og Barnabas ákveðið: „Það var nauðsynlegt að tala orð Guðs fyrst til þín. En vegna þess að þú hafnar því, og dæmdu þig því óverðuga eilífs lífs, sjá, við snúum okkur til heiðingjanna.
13:47	Því að svo hefur Drottinn leiðbeint okkur: „Ég hef sett þig sem ljós fyrir heiðingjana, svo að þú getir frelsað allt til endimarka jarðar.’”
13:48	Síðan heiðingjar, við að heyra þetta, voru glaðir, og þeir voru að vegsama orð Drottins. Og allir sem trúðu voru forvígðir til eilífs lífs.
13:49	Nú var orði Drottins dreift um allt landið.
13:50	En Gyðingar æstu upp nokkrar trúræknar og heiðarlegar konur, og leiðtogar borgarinnar. Og þeir æstu upp ofsóknir gegn Páli og Barnabasi. Og þeir ráku þá burt úr hlutum sínum.
13:51	En þeir, hristi rykið af fótum þeirra gegn þeim, fór til Iconium.
13:52	Lærisveinarnir fylltust sömuleiðis fögnuði og heilögum anda.

Jón 14: 7- 14

14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, „Drottinn, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?'
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

13:26	Göfugir bræður, synir Abrahams, og þeir meðal yðar sem óttast Guð, það er til þín orð þessa hjálpræðis hefur verið sent.
13:27	Fyrir þá sem bjuggu í Jerúsalem, og ráðamenn þess, tekur hvorki eftir honum, né raddir spámannanna sem lesnar eru á hverjum hvíldardegi, uppfyllti þetta með því að dæma hann.
13:28	Og þó að þeir fyndu ekkert dauðadæmi á móti honum, þeir báðu Pílatus, til þess að þeir gætu drepið hann.
13:29	Og þegar þeir höfðu uppfyllt allt sem skrifað var um hann, tekur hann niður af trénu, þeir settu hann í gröf.
13:30	Samt sannarlega, Guð reisti hann upp frá dauðum á þriðja degi.
13:31	Og hann sást í marga daga af þeim sem fóru með honum frá Galíleu til Jerúsalem, sem jafnvel nú eru vottar hans fyrir fólkinu.
13:32	Og við erum að tilkynna þér að fyrirheitið, sem var gert feðrum vorum,
13:33	hefur verið uppfyllt af Guði fyrir börnin okkar með því að reisa Jesú upp, eins og ritað hefur verið í öðrum sálmi líka: „Þú ert sonur minn. Í dag hef ég fætt þig.’
