“The Churches of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla with ye Church that is in their house, salute you greatly in the Lord. All the brethren greete you. Greete ye one another, with an holy kisse” (1 Corinthians 16:19, 20 1587 Geneva Bible). Father God, in whatever way we greet Believers today, let us do […]

“Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: quite you like men, and be strong.Let all your things be done in loue” (1 Corinthians 16: 13, 14 1587 Geneva Bible). Father, we thank You for another day to be as You say in these words. We love You. We honor You. We want to obey You […]

“And I [Paul] wil tary at Ephesus vntill Pentecost. For a great doore and effectuall is opened vnto me: and there are many aduersaries” (1 Corinthians 16:8, 9 1587 Geneva Bible).
