in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you,
for the worker deserves his pay.
Do not move around from house to house.

you enter a town
and the people
welcome you, eat what is set before you.

the sick in that town

has come upon
you!’

you enter a town
and the people
do not welcome
you, go into its streets
and say,
10:11 ‘Even the dust of your town
that clings to our feet we wipe off
against you.
Nevertheless know this: The kingdom of God has come.’
10:12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom
than for that town!

Colossians 1:4-14
1:4 since
we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.
1:5 Your faith and love have arisen
from the hope laid up
for you in heaven, which you have heard about in the message of truth, the gospel
1:6 that has come to you. Just as in the entire world this gospel
is bearing fruit and growing, so it has also been bearing fruit and growing
among you from the first day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.
1:7 You learned the gospel
from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave
– a
faithful minister of Christ on our
behalf –
1:8 who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

1:11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might for the display of all patience and steadfastness, joyfully
1:12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light.
1:13 He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,
1:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
