“The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. (The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.)”
King James Version (KJV)
S Spencer something we shouldn39t forget's comment on 2021-02-17 20:24:20:
Here's something would save us a lot of time when we minister lost, whether using scripture or not, We have the tendency to set aside what brought us to the truth,
Can a person feel the way you do or see what you see if he have a different spirit than you? Why do we use reasoning so often rather than scripture? Why not lead them to Christ for a filling of what you have in you, Once the Lord opens their eyes maybe they will see what you do and hear what you hear. As Jesus said my sheep here my voice.
Romans 8:7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
1 Corinthians 2:13-16. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Sanctification comes after Salvation. Tbank you

There are a few Scriptures where Paul writes about his work among the believers, but I feel that 1 Corinthians 9:1,2 may be the closest to what you seek. There is a verse in Acts 1:20 mentioning "bishoprick", but that has nothing to do with what you want (it's a quotation taken from a Psalm).

I thought the bible said something along the lines of ye are proof of my bishopric. Can you recall this?
