Along with Titus, we are sending another brother. All the churches praise him for his service in telling the good news.He was also chosen by the churches to go with us as we bring the offering. We are in charge of it. We want to honor the Lord himself. We want to show how ready we are to help.We want to keep anyone from blaming us for how we take care of that large gift.We are trying hard to do what both the Lord and people think is right.We are also sending another one of our brothers with them. He has often proved to us in many ways that he is very committed. He is now even more committed because he has great faith in you.Titus is my helper. He and I work together among you. Our brothers are messengers from the churches. They honor Christ.So show them that you really love them. Show them why we are proud of you. Then the churches can see it.

they begged us for the chance to share in serving the Lord’s people in that way.

But I will come very soon, if that’s what the Lord wants. Then I will find out how those proud people are talking. I will also find out what power they have.The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk. It is a matter of power.Which do you want? Should I come to you to correct and punish you? Or should I come in love and with a gentle spirit?

Titus had already started collecting money from you. So we asked him to help you finish making your kind gift.

Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home. Then when you come together, you will not be judged. When I come, I will give you more directions.

In those days the number of believers was growing. The Greek Jews complained about the non- Greek Jews. They said that the widows of the Greek Jews were not being taken care of. They weren’t getting their fair share of food each day.So the 12 apostles gathered all the believers together. They said,“ It wouldn’t be right for us to give up teaching God’s word. And we’d have to stop teaching to wait on tables.Brothers and sisters, choose seven of your men. They must be known as men who are wise and full of the Holy Spirit. We will turn this important work over to them.Then we can give our attention to prayer and to teaching God’s word.”This plan pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen. He was full of faith and of the Holy Spirit. Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon and Parmenas were chosen too. The group also chose Nicolas from Antioch. He had accepted the Jewish faith.The group brought them to the apostles. Then the apostles prayed and placed their hands on them.
