31.

Freely
Matthew 10:8
Freely
Romans 4:24
Matthew 10:7,8 - And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Great Commission
Those signs that were to follow them during the Great Commission were given to them 'freely.'

  • Romans 8:32 -  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
We can know what He has given us freely!
  • I Corinthians 2:12 - Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
Paul's words of preaching, thus the KJB's Epistles.
  • II Corinthians 11:7 - Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
Word of the Lord have free course!
  • II Thessalonians 3:1 - Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
