But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as you2f know, at Philippi [lover of horses], we were bold in our God-The Father to speak unto you the Gospel (joyful message) of God-The Father with much contention.

Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [is] an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
And at the season he sent a slave to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
