Atti 9: 26-31

9:26	E quando fu arrivato a Gerusalemme, tentò di unirsi ai discepoli. E avevano tutti paura di lui, non credendo di essere un discepolo.
9:27	Ma Barnaba lo prese da parte e lo condusse dagli Apostoli. E spiegò loro come aveva visto il Signore, e che gli aveva parlato, e come, a Damasco, aveva agito fedelmente nel nome di Gesù.
9:28	E lui era con loro, entrare e uscire da Gerusalemme, e agendo fedelmente nel nome del Signore.
9:29	Parlava anche con i pagani e disputava con i greci. Ma stavano cercando di ucciderlo.
9:30	E quando i fratelli si erano resi conto di questo, lo condussero a Cesarea e lo mandarono a Tarso.
9:31	Certamente, la Chiesa aveva pace in tutta la Giudea, la Galilea e la Samaria, e si stava costruendo, mentre camminiamo nel timore del Signore, ed era ricolma della consolazione dello Spirito Santo.

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	In questo modo, 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, Gesù Cristo, 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.

John 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; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, 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 questo, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.

Atti 13: 44- 52

13:44	Eppure veramente, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, ecco, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	Ma loro, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

John 14: 7- 14

14:7	Se mi avessi conosciuto, certo anche voi avreste conosciuto mio Padre. E d'ora in poi, lo conoscerai, e tu l'hai visto».
14:8	gli disse Filippo, "Signore, rivelaci il Padre, e ci basta».
14:9	gli disse Gesù: “Sono stato con te per così tanto tempo, e non mi hai conosciuto? Filippo, chi mi vede, vede anche il Padre. Come puoi dire, ‘Rivelaci il Padre?'
14:10	Non credi che io sono nel Padre e il Padre è in me? Le parole che ti sto dicendo, Non parlo da me stesso. Ma il Padre dimora in me, fa questi lavori.
14:11	Non credi che io sono nel Padre e il Padre è in me?
14:12	O altro, credere a causa di queste stesse opere. Amen, amen, Ti dico, chi crede in me farà anch'egli le opere che io faccio. E cose più grandi di queste farà, perché vado al Padre.
14:13	E qualunque cosa chiederete al Padre nel mio nome, che farò, perché il Padre sia glorificato nel Figlio.
14:14	Se mi chiederai qualcosa a nome mio, che farò.

The Acts of the Apostles 13: 26-33

13:26	Nobili fratelli, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this salvation has been sent.
13:27	For those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging him.
13:28	And although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, perché lo mettessero a morte.
13:29	And when they had fulfilled everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed him in a tomb.
13:30	Eppure veramente, God raised him up from the dead on the third day.
13:31	And he was seen for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now are his witnesses to the people.
13:32	And we are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers,
13:33	has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’
