Mga Gawa 6: 1- 7

6:1	Sa mga araw na iyon, habang dumarami ang mga alagad, may naganap na pagbubulung-bulungan ng mga Griyego laban sa mga Hebreo, sapagka't ang kanilang mga balo ay hinamak sa araw-araw na paglilingkod.
6:2	At gayon din ang labindalawa, na tinatawag na sama-sama ang karamihan ng mga alagad, sabi: “Hindi makatarungan para sa atin na iwanan ang Salita ng Diyos upang maglingkod din sa mga hapag.
6:3	Samakatuwid, magkapatid, maghanap sa inyong sarili ng pitong lalaking may mabuting patotoo, puspos ng Banal na Espiritu at ng karunungan, na maaari naming italaga sa gawaing ito.
6:4	Gayunpaman tunay, tayo ay mananatili sa pananalangin at sa ministeryo ng Salita.”
6:5	At ang plano ay ikinalugod ng buong karamihan. At pinili nila si Stephen, isang lalaking puspos ng pananampalataya at ng Banal na Espiritu, at si Felipe at si Prochorus at si Nicanor at si Timon at si Parmenas at si Nicolas, isang bagong dating mula sa Antioquia.
6:6	Ang mga ito ay kanilang inilagay sa harapan ng mga Apostol, at habang nagdadasal, ipinataw nila ang mga kamay sa kanila.
6:7	At ang Salita ng Panginoon ay lumalago, at ang bilang ng mga disipulo sa Jerusalem ay dumami nang labis. At maging ang isang malaking grupo ng mga pari ay masunurin sa pananampalataya.

Unang Pedro 2: 4- 9

2:4	And approaching him as if he were a living stone, rejected by men, tiyak, but elect and honored by God,
2:5	be also yourselves like living stones, built upon him, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, so as to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
2:6	Dahil dito, Scripture asserts: “Narito, I am setting in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious. And whoever will have believed in him will not be confounded.”
2:7	Samakatuwid, to you who believe, he is honor. But to those who do not believe, the stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made into the head of the corner,
2:8	and a stone of offense, at isang bato ng iskandalo, to those who are offended by the Word; neither do they believe, though they also have been built upon him.
2:9	But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, an acquired people, so that you may announce the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

John 14: 1- 12

14:1	“Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.
14:2	In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you.
14:3	And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.
14:4	And you know where I am going. And you know the way.”
14:5	Thomas said to him, “Panginoon, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
14:6	sabi ni Hesus sa kanya: “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, “Panginoon, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	sabi ni Hesus sa kanya: “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, Sinasabi ko sa'yo, 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.
