And so the word of God continued to spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem grew larger and larger, and a great number of priests accepted the faith.

Meanwhile the word of God continued to spread and grow.

So also will be the word that I speak--- it will not fail to do what I plan for it; it will do everything I send it to do.

Finally, our friends, pray for us that the Lord's message may continue to spread rapidly and be received with honor, just as it was among you.
