THE MINISTRY OF TABLES
And in these days, as the number of the disciples multiplies, there becomes a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because they overlook the widows in the daily ministry. 2 And the twelve call the multitude of the disciples to them, and say, It is not pleasing to leave the word of Elohim, and minister tables: 3 so, brothers, scope out seven men of witness full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to seat over this need: 4 but we continue in prayer and to the ministry of the word. 5 And the word pleases in sight of the whole multitude: and they select Stephanos, a man full of trust and of the Holy Spirit, and Philippos and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas a proselyte - an Antiochan:

THE MESSAGE OF PETROS
And there being much disputation, Petros rises, and says to them, Men and brothers, you understand how that from ancient days Elohim selected among us, that through my mouth the goyim hear the word of the evangelism, and trust: 8 and Elohim, all heart-knowing, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even exactly as to us; 9 and distinguished not between us and them, purifying their hearts by trust: 10 so now, why test you Elohim, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But through the charism of Adonay Yah Shua Messiah we trust to be saved, in manner as they. 12

Amos 9:11, 12 18 Known to Elohim are all his works from the eons: 19 so I judge that we harrass them no further, who from among the goyim, turn to Elohim: 20 but that we epistolize them to abstain from pollutions of idols and from whoredom and from strangled and from blood. 21 For from ancient generations and in every city Mosheh has them who preach of him; being read in the synagogues every shabbath.

14 But if you have bitter zeal and strife in your hearts, neither exult nor lie against the truth.
15 - this wisdom descends not from above but is earthly, soulical, demonic.
16 For where there are zeal and strife, there are instability and every evil matter.
17 And indeed, the wisdom from above is first hallowed, then at shalom, gentle, agreeable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and unhypocritical:
18 and the fruit of justness spores in shalom by them who make shalom.
