ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
Having received their charge, and being fully assured through the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and confirmed in the word of God, they went forth with the full assurance of the Holy Spirit, preaching the good news that the kingdom of God was about to come.
Preaching, then, throughout the countries and cities, they appointed their firstfruits, having tested them by the Spirit, to be bishops and deacons of those who should believe.
And this was no novelty; for many ages before it had been written concerning bishops and deacons. For thus says the Scripture somewhere: "I will establish their bishops in righteousness and their deacons in faith."
