Acts 2:22
22“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, aa man attested to you by God bwith cmighty works and wonders and signs that dGod did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—Romans 14:18
18Whoever thus serves Christ is eacceptable to God and approved by men.Romans 16:10
10Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those fwho belong to the family of Aristobulus.1 Corinthians 9:11
