Exhortation was part of the apostle's follow up plan for the churches: And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith.... (Acts 14:21-22)
At nang maipangaral na nila ang evangelio sa bayang yaon, at makahikayat ng maraming mga alagad, ay nagsibalik sila sa Listra at sa Iconio, at sa Antioquia, Na pinatitibay ang mga kaluluwa ng mga alagad, at inaaralan sila na magsipanatili sa pananampalataya… (Gawa 14: 21-22)
