Jehovahs Witnesses - Organized to Do Jehovahs Will

For we are Gods fellow workers. You are Gods field under cultivation, Gods building.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

But let all things take place decently and by arrangement.

As they traveled on through the cities, they would deliver to them for observance the decrees that had been decided on by the apostles and the elders who were in Jerusalem. Then, indeed, the congregations continued to be made firm in the faith and to increase in number day by day.

For each one will carry his own load.*

Or load of responsibility.

Ponder over* these things; be absorbed in them, so that your advancement may be plainly seen by all people.

Or Meditate on.

Finally, brothers, continue to rejoice, to be readjusted, to be comforted, to think in agreement, to live peaceably; and the God of love and of peace will be with you.

This statement is trustworthy: If a man is reaching out to be an overseer, he is desirous of a fine work.

Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

They will build houses and live in them, And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, Nor will they plant for others to eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full. They will not toil* for nothing,* Nor will they bear children for distress, Because they are the offspring* made up of those blessed by Jehovah, And their descendants with them. Even before they call out, I will answer; While they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, The lion will eat straw just like the bull, And the serpents food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain, says Jehovah.

Or work hard.

Or in vain.

Lit., seed.
