Matthew 10:16
Persecution Will Come
16 a“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be bwise as serpents and cinnocent as doves.Matthew 28:19-20
19 dGo therefore and emake disciples of fall nations, gbaptizing them hin ▼▼Or into
jthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them kto observe all that lI have commanded you. And behold, mI am with you always, to nthe end of the age.” Luke 11:49

forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed vin his name wto all nations, xbeginning from Jerusalem. John 20:21
21Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As ythe Father has sent me, zeven so I am sending you.”Acts 1:8
8But you will receive aapower abwhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and acyou will be admy witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and aeSamaria, and afto the end of the earth.”1 Corinthians 12:3-11
3Therefore I want you to understand that agno one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is ahaccursed!” and aino one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.4Now ajthere are varieties of gifts, but akthe same Spirit; 5and althere are varieties of service, but amthe same Lord; 6and there are varieties of activities, but it is anthe same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 aoTo each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of apwisdom, and to another the utterance of aqknowledge according to the same Spirit, 9to another arfaith by the same Spirit, to another asgifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10to another atthe working of miracles, to another auprophecy, to another avthe ability to distinguish between spirits, to another awvarious kinds of tongues, to another axthe interpretation of tongues. 11All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, aywho apportions to each one individually azas he wills.
