The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such {cases}: but God hath called us to peace. {to peace: Gr. in peace}

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

Forbidding to marry, {and commanding} to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, {my} spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. {ravished: or, taken away}

For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

Blessed {are} they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

{Which} when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard {of}, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
