just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

Reports of these things were handed down to us. There were people who saw these things for themselves from the beginning. They saw them and then passed the word on.

just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,

They used the eyewitness reports circulating among us from the early disciples.

just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,

just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us,

even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,

just as the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed them down to us.

Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

like the accounts passed on to us by those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning.

even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

You also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation had its beginning when it was spoken of by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us by those who heard him.

But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed:

“ Therefore, from among the men who have accompanied us during the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us—beginning from the baptism of John until the day he was taken up from us— from among these, it is necessary that one become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

for we are unable to stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

After he had suffered, he also presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

We ourselves are witnesses of everything he did in both the Judean country and in Jerusalem, and yet they killed him by hanging him on a tree.God raised up this man on the third day and caused him to be seen,not by all the people, but by us whom God appointed as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

You are witnesses of these things.

A person should think of us in this way: as servants of Christ and managers of the mysteries of God.

The sower sows the word.

if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith and are not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become a servant of it.Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for his body, that is, the church.I have become its servant, according to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the gospel of God. God’s purpose is that the Gentiles may be an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of his power.This grace was given to me— the least of all the saints— to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches of Christ,
