1 Corinthians 4:9-16 Matthew 9:36-38, 10:1-8

God bless!

1 Corinthians 4

  9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were
appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels,
and to men.
  10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak,
but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
  11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and
are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
  12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being
persecuted, we suffer it:
  13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are
the offscouring of all things unto this day.
  14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
  15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not
many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
  16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Matthew 9

  36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them,
because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
  37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the
labourers are few;
  38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth
labourers into his harvest.

Matthew 10

  1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power
against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness
and all manner of disease.
  2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is
called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother;
  3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of
Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
  4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
  5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the
way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
  6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
  7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
  8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely
ye have received, freely give.
