Bible Comments

And how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:14. I have set thee to be a light; all knowledge is ignorance, and all light is darkness, without Christ.

Acts 13:47

47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
