19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations; baptize them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;20 and teach them to obey every command which I have given you. And remember, I am with you always, day by day, until the Close of the Age.«

15 Then He said to them, »Go the whole world over, and proclaim the Good News to all mankind.

8 and yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to the remotest parts of the earth.«

14 You are the light of the world; a town cannot be hid if built on a hill-top.

13 You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has become tasteless, in what way can it regain its saltness? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown away and trodden on by the passers by.

15 Nor is a lamp lighted to be put under a bushel, but on the lampstand; and then it gives light to all in the house.16 Just so let your light shine before all men, in order that they may see your holy lives and may give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach. »Repent,« He said, »for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand.«

16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes–the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

17 And this proves that faith comes from a Message heard, and that the Message comes through its having been spoken by Christ.

2 For I determined to be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified.

1 But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing,2 through which also you are obtaining salvation, if you bear in mind the words in which I proclaimed it–unless indeed your faith has been unreal from the very first.

14 To this blessing God has called you by our Good News, so that you may have a share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish.

35 It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples–if you love one another.«

8 By this is God glorified–by your bearing abundant fruit and thus being true disciples of mine.

47 For such is the Lord's command to us. »I have placed Thee,' He says of Christ, as a light to the Gentiles, in order that Thou mayest be a Saviour as far as the remotest parts of the earth.'«

24 But even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I may perfect my earthly course, and be faithful to the duty which the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me of proclaiming, as of supreme importance, the Good News of God's grace.

18 »The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor; He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners of war and recovery of sight to the blind: to send away free those whom tyranny has crushed,

29 »In solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that there is no one who has forsaken house or brothers or sisters, or mother or father, or children or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the Good News,30 but will receive a hundred times as much now in this present life –houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands– and persecution with them–and in the coming age the Life of the Ages.

35 For whoever is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.

27 to whom it was His will to make known how vast a wealth of glory for the Gentile world is implied in this truth–the truth that Christ is in you, the hope of glory.'

1 But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.
