Matthias to be Chosen in Place of Judah

12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is on a Sabbath day near Jerusalem.


13 And when they were come, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, and Philip, and Thomas, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.


14 And they were all with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

15 And it came to pass in those days, that Peter stood and talked with the brethren, about an hundred and twenty.


16 Brethren, the scripture must have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spake by David concerning Judas, which was the leader of those who betrayed Jesus.


17 For he was numbered with us, and was partakers of the ministry


18 This man bought a field with the earnings of unrighteousness, and fell on his face, and his belly was rent, and all his bowels came out.


19 And this was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, until the name of the field was called in their language Achladmah, which is, the field of blood.


20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his house be desolate, and let no man dwell in it, and let another take his place.

21 But of those who were with us at all times, when the Lord Jesus came and went among us.


22 From the baptism of John until the day he was taken up from us, it would be good for one of them to be a witness for us in his resurrection.


23 And they set up two men, Joseph of Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.


24 And he prayed, and said, Lord, who knoweth the hearts of all men, shew me which of them thou hast chosen.


25 To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, which Judas left in lawlessness, to go to his own place.


26 And they laid slip for them, and the name of Matthias came out. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Listen to and keep the word

19 My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen than to speak. Don’t get angry too soon.
James 1:19

20 A person’s anger does not help him to live a good life according to God’s will.
James 1:20

21 So put away all evil from your life and all the evil that you do. Be humble and accept God’s teaching that has been planted in your Hirda. This teaching can save you.
James 1:21

22 Do what God tells you to do. Don’t just listen and act. Why? Because when you sit and listen, you are fooling yourself.
James 1:22

23 For if any man hear the word of God, and do not do it, he is a sinner; He is like the man who looks at his face in the mirror.
James 1:23

24 The man looks at himself, then walks away and soon forgets what he looked like.
James 1:24

25 But the man who is truly happy is the one who reads God’s perfect law that sets people free. He keeps reading it. He listens carefully to God’s teachings without forgetting what he has heard. Then he obeys God’s teachings. Through him, he is truly happy.
James 1:25

26 Even if a person thinks he is righteous, but if he says what he should not say, he is fooling himself. What does his religion mean?
James 1:26

27 This is the kind of religion God wants; Raising orphans and widows who need help, and keeping themselves free from worldly influences. This is the religion that God accepts as pure and holy.
James 1:27

Food offered to idols

1 Now I will write about the meat of the sacrifice that is offered to idols. We know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge fills you with pride. But love helps you to be stronger than others.
1 Corinthians 8: 1

2 A person who thinks he knows something does not know what he should know.
1 Corinthians 8: 2

3 But he that loveth God knoweth him;
1 Corinthians 8: 3

4 Wherefore I say unto them, This is the law of the flesh: for we know that idolatry is nothing in the world. We also know that there is one and only God.
1 Corinthians 8: 4

5 It doesn’t really matter that some things on earth and in the sky are called gods. Many people call such things “gods” or “lords.”
1 Corinthians 8: 5

6 But we have only one God. He is our Father. Everything has come from Him and we live for Him alone. There is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. All things are created through him, and we also live through him.
1 Corinthians 8: 6

7 But not all people know this. Some people still have the habit of worshiping idols. So when they eat this meat, they feel like it belongs to an idol. They don’t know if it’s okay to eat this meat. So when they eat this meat, they think they are doing something wrong.
1 Corinthians 8: 7

8 But food does not bring us closer to God. By not eating meat, we do not lose anything or by eating, we do not gain anything.
1 Corinthians 8: 8

9 But be careful about your freedom. Your own faith can make people weak.
1 Corinthians 8: 9

10 You have understanding, so you feel free to eat in the temple of idols. A person with weak faith may see you eating there. This will also encourage him to eat the meat offered to the idols. But he actually misunderstands it.
1 Corinthians 8:10

11 So this weak brother can be destroyed because of your knowledge. And Christ was sacrificed for this brother.
1 Corinthians 8:11

12 When you cause your brothers and sisters in Christ to do something that they think is wrong, you are sinning against them and you are hurting them. Then you are also sinning against Christ.
1 Corinthians 8:12

13 Therefore I will never again eat the flesh that I have caused my brother to fall into sin. I will stop eating meat so that I will not let my brother and sister fall into sin.
1 Corinthians 8:13
