Acts 1:8

8 But you will receive ^apower ^bwhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and ^cyou will be ^dmy witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and ^eSamaria, and ^fto the end of the earth.”

Acts 14:15

15 “Men, ^gwhy are you doing these things? We also are men, ^hof like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that ⁱyou should turn from these ^jvain things to ^ka living God, ^lwho made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.

Acts 17:23-31

23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, ^m‘To the unknown god.’ ⁿWhat therefore you worship ^oas unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 ^pThe God who made the world and everything in it, being ^qLord of heaven and earth, ^rdoes not live in temples made by man, ^{▼▼Greek made by hands} 25 nor is he served by human hands, ^tas though he needed anything, since he himself ^ugives to all mankind ^vlife and breath and everything. 26 And ^whe made from one man every nation of mankind to live ^xon all the face of the earth, ^yhaving determined allotted periods and ^zthe boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 ^aathat they should seek God, ^aband perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. ^acYet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for

^ad“‘In him we live and move and have our being’; ^{▼▼Probably from Epimenides of Crete}
as even some of ^afyour own poets have said,

“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’ ^{▼▼From Aratus’s poem “Phainomena”}
29 ^ahBeing then God’s offspring, ^aiwe ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. 30 ^ajThe times of ignorance ^akGod overlooked, but ^alnow he ^amcommands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed ^ana day on which ^aohe will judge the world ^apin righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and ^aqof this he has given assurance to all ^arby raising him from the dead.”

Hebrews 12:1

Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and ^assin which clings so closely, and ^atlet us run ^auwith endurance the race that is ^avset before us,

2 ^awthe life ^axwas made manifest, and we have seen it, and ^aytestify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, ^azwhich was with the Father and ^bawas made manifest to us—
