New Testament puzzle

Sven Eldring and William Welsh Holland

You won't find the following "Advice to young Christians" in any one place in the Bible. It's made up of brief sentences and phrases from twenty of the twenty-seven books that make up the New Testament.

To find out which book each sentence belongs to, look up key words, such as "armour" or "affection," in a Bible concordance. Then circle the letters in the block that spell the name of the book. The names run diagonally, vertically and horizontally, forward and backward, as well as upside down and right side up.

Count I and II Corinthians as one book and do the same in other cases where two or three books have the same name. Once, where both a Gospel and a group of epistles have the same name, one sentence from the gospel and one from the epistles were used, and both were put under the same number. When you have found twenty books, look at the leftover letters. They spell the twenty-first book. Have fun.
