Mark 16:15
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.

Luke 4:16-21
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into
the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up
for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of
the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the
book, he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to
the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all
them that were in the synagogue were fastened
on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this
scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Romans 12:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God.
