Acts 10:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
10 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
Acts 10:1-2 International Standard Version (ISV)
Cornelius Has a Vision
10 Now in Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout man who feared God, as did everyone in his home. He gave many gifts to the poor among the people and always prayed to God.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 This was a Roman solider who had power he was under the orders of men who were under Cesar. We as Christians are under God’s authority.
2 Cornelius was loyal to Rome but more so to God, he would have been better for Rome because of his values as a Christian. We are better at whatever we do if we are under the Lord and live for His values. Cornelius and his family did what they could for they church they gave money and prayed, to many of us do what gets us by instead of being like him and doing all we can.
