And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
