“My brothers, sons in the family of Abraham, {\cf2\super [267]} and you non-Jews who also worship the true God, listen! The news about this salvation has been sent to us.
But Paul and Barnabas spoke very boldly. They said, “We must speak the message {\cf2\super [277]} of God to you Jews first. But you refuse to listen. You are making yourselves lost—not worthy of having eternal life! So we will now go to the people of other nations!
\{God said this through Isaiah about the non-Jewish people.\} But about the Jewish people God says, “All day long I have waited for those people, but they refuse to obey and refuse to follow me.” {\cf2\super [113]}
