Peter and Cornelius
10 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of (A)what was known as the Italian Cohort, 2 a devout man (B)who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. 3 (C)About the ninth hour of the day[a] (D)he saw clearly in a vision (E)an angel of God come in and say to him, “Cornelius.” 4 And he stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms (F)have ascended (G)as a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is lodging (H)with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.” 7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him, 8 and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Cornelius Calls for Peter
10 At Caesarea(A) there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing;(B) he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon(C) he had a vision.(D) He distinctly saw an angel(E) of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.
The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering(F) before God.(G) 5 Now send men to Joppa(H) to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner,(I) whose house is by the sea.”
7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.(J)

Proverbs 13:10-18
English Standard Version
10 (A)By insolence comes nothing but strife,
but with those who take advice is wisdom.
11 (B)Wealth gained hastily[a] will dwindle,
but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
(C)but a desire fulfilled is (D)a tree of life.
13 Whoever (E)despises (F)the word[b] brings destruction on himself,
but he who reveres the commandment[c] will be (G)rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is (H)a fountain of life,
that one may (I)turn away from the snares of death.
15 (J)Good sense wins (K)favor,
but the way of the treacherous is their ruin.[d]
16 (L)Every prudent man acts with knowledge,
(M)but a fool flaunts his folly.
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
but (N)a faithful envoy brings healing.
18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who (O)ignores instruction,
(P)but whoever (Q)heeds reproof is honored.
