Acts 14:21-23

New Testament for Everyone

Opening the door of faith

²¹ They preached in Derbe, and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, ²² strengthening the hearts of the disciples, and urging them to remain in the faith. They warned them that getting into God’s kingdom would mean going through considerable suffering. ²³ In every church they appointed elders by laying hands on them. They fasted, prayed, and commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
