If I am not an apostle to others, yet at least I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

My defense to those who examine me is this:

Paul, appointed an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one of untimely birth.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel unto Me to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

But the multitude of the city was divided: and part were with the Jews, but part with the apostles.

Then he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice out of His mouth.

For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.

This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.

And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly disturbed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very instant.

Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, separated to the gospel of God

Through Him we have received grace and apostleship unto obedience of faith among all nations for His name,

For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles.

I have become foolish in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.

Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter

(for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),

for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle; I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying; a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect and full true knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

but has in due time proclaimed His Word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might gain the more;

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one of untimely birth.

But as he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from Heaven.

And he said, Who are You, Sir? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you persecute. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.

And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from Heaven shone around me.

So I answered, Who are You, Sir? And He said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.

Then he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice out of His mouth.

And now why are you waiting? Arise and be immersed, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

and saw Him saying to me, Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.

And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.

But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, Be of good courage, Paul; for as you have testified of Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.

But arise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things in which I will appear to you.

to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow.

I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I admonish you.

For though you might have countless instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing and believing, were immersed.

for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city.

We then, as workers together with Him, also beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
