Acts 16:1-5

1Paul came also to 1Derbe and to 2Lystra. And a disciple was there, named 3Timothy, the son of a 4Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek, 2and he was well spoken of by 5the brethren who were in 6Lystra and 7Iconium. 3Paul wanted this man to 8go with him; and he 9took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4Now while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering 10the decrees which had been decided upon by 11the apostles and 12elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to observe. 5So 13the churches were being strengthened 14in the faith, and were 15increasing in number daily.
