“Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a

native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus.

He was a learned man, with a thorough
knowledge of the Scriptures. He had
been instructed in the way of the Lord,
and he spoke with great fervor and
taught about Jesus accurately, though
he knew only the baptism of John. He
began to speak boldly in the synagogue.
When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they
invited him to their home and explained
to him the way of God more adequately.”
(Acts 18:24-26)

A Brother Who Sins Against You
15 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault,
just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have
won your brother over.
16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that
`every matter may be established by the testimony of two
or three witnesses.'
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he
refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you
would a pagan or a tax collector.
18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound
in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed
in heaven.
19 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about
anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father
in heaven.
20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I
with them."

"Salt is good, but if it loses
its saltiness, how can it be
made salty again? It is fit
neither for the soil nor for

thrown out.

 Luke 13:6-9

Then he told this parable: “A man had

a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and
he went to look for fruit on it, but did
not find any. So he said to the man
who took care of the vineyard, ‘For
three years now I’ve been coming to
look for fruit on this fig tree and
haven’t found any. Cut it down!
Why should it use up the soil?’
Dr. Roy Verzosa (2015 Apollos Project Seminar Notes)
 Luke 13:6-9

‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it

alone for one more year, and
I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.
If it bears fruit next year, fine!
If not, then cut it down.’”

Criticism

 Redaction Criticism
is the theory that different
copyists and commentators
of the early biblical writings
embellished and altered the
biblical texts throughout early
Jewish and Christian history
to make them appear more
miraculous, inspirational,
and legitimate. 
Dr. Roy Verzosa (2015 Apollos Project Seminar Notes)
Redaction criticism reduces
the quality of the biblical
record, casts strong doubt
on its inspiration, and
implies that the Bible is not
trustworthy as a historical
document.

 Ephesians 4:22-24
“… that you put off, concerning
your former conduct, the old
man which grows corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts,
and be renewed in the spirit of
your mind, and that you put on
the new man which was created
according to God, in true
righteousness and holiness.”
