“So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.”
Bible
“For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.”
“And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, / Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.”
“I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) / That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.”
“And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: / For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”
“As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, / Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.”
“It is to relieve the congestion in FYROM, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, temporarily and then ... create the conditions that will allow these people to return home, which is where we believe they want to be,”
