For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus [as] Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 2 Corinthians 4:5 ASV
Acts 1:6-8 ASV
(6) They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
(7) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority.
(8) But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Isaiah 28:9-10 ASV
(9) Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 ASV
(3) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
(4) (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),
(5) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;
(6) and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.
Ephesians 1:4-5 ASV
(4) even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
(5) having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
2 Corinthians 9:6-9 ASV
(6) But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
(7) Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
(8) And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:
(9) as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.
Romans 10:14-15 ASV
(14) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
(15) and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!
