Acts 14:1-7
English Standard Version
Paul and Barnabas at Iconium
14 Now at Iconium (A)they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. 2 (B)But the (C)unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against (D)the brothers.[a] 3 So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for (E)the Lord, who bore witness to (F)the word of his grace, (G)granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4 But the people of the city (H)were divided; (I)some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles. 5 When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, (J)to mistreat them and (K)to stone them, 6 they learned of it and (L)fled to (M)Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, 7 and there they continued to preach the gospel.

Proverbs 16:28-33
English Standard Version
28 (A)A dishonest man spreads strife,
and (B)a whisperer (C)separates close friends.
29 A man of violence (D)entices his neighbor
and leads him in a way that is not good.
30 Whoever winks his eyes plans[a] (E)dishonest things;
he who (F)purses his lips brings evil to pass.
31 (G)Gray hair is (H)a crown of glory;
it (I)is gained in a righteous life.
32 (J)Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
33 (K)The lot is cast into the lap,
but its every decision is (L)from the Lord.
