if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.

since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

which has come to you, as in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as it is also among you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

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

To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

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.

Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, It was necessary that the Word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

Then He said to me, Depart, for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles.

I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send 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.

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 say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to understand with a sound mind, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,

that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

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

to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under the Law toward Christ), that I might gain those who are without law;

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

to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,

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

and when Jacob, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

of which I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the Word of God,

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

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.
