New King James Version Mark 16

							FISHERS OF MEN
And Jesus, walking by the Sea of
Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon
called Peter, and Andrew his
brother, casting a net into the sea;
for they were fishermen. Then He
said to them, “Follow Me, and I will
make you fishers of men.” They
immediately left their nets and
followed Him. Going on from there,
He saw two other brothers, James
the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother, in the boat with Zebedee
their father, mending their nets. He
called them, and immediately they
left the boat and their father, and
followed Him.         New King James Version

win the more;        New King James Version

The Power Of Soul Winning
  The gospel
  Inspiration was once in men
  We now have the inspired New
  Testament
For the message of the cross is
foolishness to those who are
perishing, but to us who are being
saved it is the power of God. For it
is written: “I will destroy the wisdom
of the wise, And bring to nothing
the understanding of the prudent.”
Where is the wise? Where is the
scribe? Where is the disputer of
this age? Has not God made
foolish the wisdom of this world?
For since, in the wisdom of God,
the world through wisdom did not
know God, it pleased God through
the foolishness of the message
preached to save those who
believe. For Jews request a sign,
and Greeks seek after wisdom; but
we preach Christ crucified, to the
Jews a stumbling block and to the
Greeks foolishness, but to those
who are called, both Jews and
Greeks, Christ the power of God
and the wisdom of God. Because
the foolishness of God is wiser than
men, and the weakness of God is
stronger than men. New King James Version
                    1 Corinthians 1:18-25
I marvel that you are turning away
so soon from Him who called you in
the grace of Christ, to a different
gospel, which is not another; but
there are some who trouble you
and want to pervert the gospel of
Christ. But even if we, or an angel
from heaven, preach any other
gospel to you than what we have
preached to you, let him be
accursed. As we have said before,
so now I say again, if anyone
preaches any other gospel to you
than what you have received, let
him be accursed.
