Versi relativi a Acts, 14:

In Acts of Apostles 14, Paul and Barnabas continue their missionary journey, preaching the Gospel in several cities. However, they also face opposition and persecution by some Jews and Gentiles. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Acts 14:

2 Timothy 3:12: "And all who wish to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." This verse shows that persecution is a reality for those who follow Christ and preach the gospel.

John 15:18-19: "If the world hates you, know that, first than you, you hated me. If you were from the world, the world would love what was yours, but because you are not from the world before, before I chose you from the world, that's why the world hates you. " Jesus talks about the enmity of the world in relation to his followers, who are chosen and separated from the world.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9: "In everything we are troubled but not distressed; perplexed but not discouraged. Persecuted but not helpless; slaughtered but not destroyed." This verse shows that even in the midst of difficulties and persecution, Christians are not defeated.

Romans 8:35-37: "Who will you separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or hunger, or nudity, or danger, or the sword? We are handed over to death all day; we are reputed as sheep to the slaughterhouse. But in all these things we are more than winners, by the one who loved us. " Paul shows that nothing can separate Christians from the love of Christ, and that they are more than winners in the midst of tribulations.

Philippians 1:29: "For you were granted to you, in relation to Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer by Him." This verse shows that suffering and persecution are part of the Christian's so -called, and that it is a grace granted to them in relation to Christ.
