Acts of the Apostles 26 reports Paul's speech before King Agrippa, in which he defends his preaching of the gospel and his conversion to Christianity. Paul talks about how he previously pursued Christians, but now he believes that Jesus is the Messiah and must be followed. He also mentions the resurrection of the dead and the importance of preaching the message of salvation to all. Based on these themes, the five related verses are:
Romans 10:9: "If with your mouth confesses Jesus as Lord, and in your heart you believe that God has risen him from the dead, you will be saved." This verse talks about the importance of Jesus' confession as Lord and belief in his resurrection for salvation. This is in accordance with Paul's speech in Acts 26, in which he preaches about the resurrection and the importance of following Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:14: "And if Christ has not risen, our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain." In this verse, Paul emphasizes the importance of Christ's resurrection to the Christian faith. In his speech in Acts 26, Paul mentions the resurrection as one of the reasons he believes in Jesus.
2 Timothy 4:2: "Preaches the Word, urges in time and out of time, admonish, rebukes, exhorts, with long time and teaching." Paul encourages Timothy to preach the word on all occasions. This is in accordance with Paul's speech in Acts 26, in which he talks about how he always preached the message of salvation to all.
1 Thessalonians 5:5-6: "For all you are sons of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or darkness. We do not sleep, for as the others, but we watch and be sober." In this verse, Paul talks about the importance of remaining vigilant and sober as children of light. This is related to Paul's speech in Acts 26, in which he talks about how he was transformed by the light of Jesus.
Philippians 3:8-9: "And in fact, I also have for loss all things, for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord; by which I have the loss of all these things, and I consider them as slag, so that it may You can win Christ, and be found in Him. " Paul talks about how he considers everything as a loss compared to the knowledge of Christ. This is related to Paul's speech in Acts 26, in which he talks about how his life changed when He met Jesus.
