Acts 16:5 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 16:5

And so were the churches established in the faith
Of Christ, both in the grace and doctrine of faith; and that both by the preaching of the Gospel by the apostle and his companions, and by the decrees of the elders delivered by him:

and increased in number daily;
as well as in gifts and grace.

Acts 16:5 In-Context

3 Paul wanted Timothy to travel with him, but all the Jews living in that area knew that Timothy's father was Greek. So Paul circumcised Timothy to please the Jews.

4 Paul and those with him traveled from town to town and gave the decisions made by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.

5 So the churches became stronger in the faith and grew larger every day.

6 Paul and those with him went through the areas of Phrygia and Galatia since the Holy Spirit did not let them preach the Good News in the country of Asia.

7 When they came near the country of Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them.
