And some days later Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.

And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being commended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
