The Illustrated Life of Paul Quotes

“Luke wrote that the scrolls were worth 50,000 pieces of silver (Acts 19:19). If these pieces of silver were denarii, each piece was the equivalent of the wage for the average worker for an entire day. Fifty thousand denarii would be the equivalent of 160 years of wages for a man who worked six days a week. In modern currency this would amount to millions and millions of dollars.”
― Charles L. Quarles, The Illustrated Life of Paul

“The Stoics believed that all events were planned by God. Thus, the key to happiness was to submit to one’s fate. Fear and grief resulted when one resisted one’s fate.”
