Acts 16:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Paul desired Timothy to go with him [^[a]as a missionary]; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, all of whom knew that his father was a Greek.

⁴ As they went on their way from town to town, they delivered over [to the assemblies] for their observance the regulations decided upon by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

⁵ So the churches were strengthened and made firm in the faith, and they increased in number day after day.
