43 And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to ^dJudaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many ^etribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.

22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, ^xprovided you continue in his kindness. ^yOtherwise you too will be cut off.

The Resurrection of Christ

1 Now I would remind you, brothers,¹ of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, ^tif you hold fast to the word I preached to you—^uunless you believed ^vin vain.

23 ^uif indeed you continue in the faith, ^vstable and ^wsteadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation¹ under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a ^xminister.
