Acts 16:1-5
1) He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.
2) The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
3) Paul wanted to have him go forth with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4) As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5) So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Acts 16:10-15
10) When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11) Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12) and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
13) On the Sabbath day we went forth outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.
14) A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshipped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
15) When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay." She urged us.
Acts 16:40-40
40) They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia‘s house. When they had seen the brothers, they comforted them, and departed.
Acts 18:1-4
1) After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2) He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
3) and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4) He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Acts 18:18-26
18) Paul, having stayed after this yet many days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila with him. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19) He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20) When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
21) but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
22) When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
23) Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
24) Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the scriptures.
25) This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26) He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Romans 16:3-3
3) Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
2 Timothy 1:3-5
3) I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4) longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5) having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
