The Acts of the Apostles 16: 1-10
16:1 Then he arrived at Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, his father a Gentile. 16:2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium rendered good testimony to him. 16:3 Paul wanted this man to travel with him, and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile. 16:4 And as they were traveling through the cities, they delivered to them the dogmas to be kept, which were decreed by the Apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. 16:5 And certainly, the Churches were being strengthened in faith and were increasing in number every day. 16:6 Tad, while crossing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the Word in Asia. 16:7 But when they had arrived in Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them. 16:8 Tad, when they had crossed through Mysia, they descended to Troas. 16:9 And a vision in the night was revealed to Paul of a certain man of Macedonia, standing and pleading with him, and saying: “Cross into Macedonia and help us!” 16:10 Tad, after he saw the vision, immediately we sought to set out for Macedonia, having been assured that God had called us to evangelize to them. Gospel
The Holy Gospel According to John 15: 18-21
15:18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you. 15:19 If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Tomēr patiesi, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; because of this, the world hates you. 15:20 Remember my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. 15:21 But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know him who sent me.

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8
15:1 And so I make known to you, brāļi, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand. 15:2 By the Gospel, arī, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain. 15:3 For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; 15:4 and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures; 15:5 and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. 15:6 Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep. 15:7 Nākamais, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles. 15:8 And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time. Džons 14: 6- 14
14:6 Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. 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, “Lord, 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. Āmen, 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.

akti 15: 7- 21
15:7 And after a great contention had taken place, Peter rose up and said to them: “Noble brothers, you know that, in recent days, God has chosen from among us, by my mouth, Gentiles to hear the word of the Gospel and to believe. 15:8 And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us. 15:9 And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 15:10 Now therefore, why do you tempt God to impose a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 15:11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them.” 15:12 Then the entire multitude was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul, describing what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them. 15:13 And after they had been silent, James responded by saying: “Noble brothers, listen to me. 15:14 Simon has explained in what manner God first visited, so as to take from the Gentiles a people to his name. 15:15 And the words of the Prophets are in agreement with this, tieši tā, kā bija rakstīts: 15:16 ‘After these things, I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down. And I will rebuild its ruins, and I will raise it up, 15:17 so that the rest of men may seek the Lord, along with all the nations over whom my name has been invoked, saka Tas Kungs, who does these things.’ 15:18 To the Lord, his own work has been known from eternity. 15:19 Šī dēļ, I judge that those who were converted to God from among the Gentiles are not to be disturbed, 15:20 but instead that we write to them, that they should keep themselves from the defilement of idols, and from fornication, and from whatever has been suffocated, and from blood. 15:21 For Moses, from ancient times, has had in each city those who preach him in the synagogues, where he is read on every Sabbath.” Džons 15: 9- 11
15:9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.
15:10 If you keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide in his love.
15:11 These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.
