Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

Study Note
Paul and Barnabas's encouragement to the newly founded churches — 'through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God' — establishes suffering as a normal, expected feature of the path to eschatological hope rather than an anomaly or sign of divine disfavor. The word 'must' (dei) implies divine necessity — the pattern is theologically structured, not accidental. The context (strengthening the disciples, appointing elders, commending them to God) presents this teaching within the framework of pastoral care for vulnerable communities facing real opposition. Paul's own imprisonments and hardships described in 2 Corinthians 11 and Philippians 3 embody what he teaches here, and 2 Timothy 3:12 generalizes the principle: 'all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.'
