⁹ God, whom I serve^(A) in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness^(B) how constantly I remember you

Thanksgiving and Prayer

¹⁵ For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus^(A) and your love for all God’s people,^{(B) 16} I have not stopped giving thanks for you,^(C) remembering you in my prayers.^(D)

³² Be kind and compassionate to one another,^(A) forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.^(B)

¹⁷ So if you consider me a partner,^(A) welcome him as you would welcome me. ¹⁸ If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.^{(B) 19} I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand.^(C) I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. ²⁰ I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh^(D) my heart in Christ.

²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them,^(A) and they follow me.^(B)

⁴ Now he had to go through Samaria.^(A)

Philip and the Ethiopian

²⁶ Now an angel^(A) of the Lord said to Philip,^(B) “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”

²⁹ The Spirit told^(A) Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
