Acts 18:24-28
English Standard Version
Apollos Speaks Boldly in Ephesus
24 Now a Jew named (A)Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, (B)competent in the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in (C)the way of the Lord. And (D)being fervent in spirit,[a] he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only (E)the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when (F)Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him (G)the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he wished to cross to (H)Achaia, (I)the brothers encouraged him and (J)wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, (K)he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, 28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures (L)that the Christ was Jesus.

Proverbs 22:9-16
English Standard Version
9 (A)Whoever has a bountiful[a] eye will be blessed,
for he (B)shares his bread with the poor.
10 (C)Drive out a scoffer, (D)and strife will go out,
and (E)quarreling and abuse will cease.
11 He who (F)loves purity of heart,
and whose (G)speech is gracious, (H)will have the king as his friend.
12 The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,
but he (I)overthrows the words of the traitor.
13 (J)The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!
I shall be killed in the streets!”
14 The mouth of (K)forbidden[b] women is (L)a deep pit;
(M)he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but (N)the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16 Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth,
or gives to the rich, (O)will only come to poverty.
