Protect me from abuse, so I can obey your laws.
Take good care of me, your servant, and don't let me be harmed by those conceited people.
Help! They are chasing me, and they are too strong.
You protected me from death and kept me from stumbling, so that I would please you and follow the light that leads to life.
The church in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria now had a time of peace and kept on worshipping the Lord. The church became stronger, as the Holy Spirit encouraged it and helped it grow.
