It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.”

Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.”
